Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona

Don't let the haters get to you Matth.

 

Matth you keep handing out those burns to sky(w)anker .

That burn is simple but effective

 

Back on topic, Coutinho is not for sale.

 

Deal's just gone through mate.

 

From a financial standpoint, there is no price limit to let him go. No price at which we are ready to give in. Our goal is to have the best possible team. So we want to keep our guys and add new ones. That is our plan.

“Today, no player on the planet is untouchable. But a transfer is also a question of timing and if you have the opportunity and the need to react to such a transfer.

“Also you have to ask, if you have the time to react. But just because of one request of one club, we don’t have to think about that. We are not in that situation.”

 

The only thing that makes me believe this will happen soon is that Barca probably won't wait. They need to replace Neymar this season or head into the season considerably weaker, which will piss off Messi and the rest of the top boys.

They'll turn to an alternative target if Coutinho doesn't go and I think Coutinho will see this as his greatest option that he'll ever get.

 

I still think there's room for him to improve, next Summer he'll be worth even more imo.

 

Possibly, depends who's interested.

 

Barca need a Neymar replacement now and an Iniesta replacement now/next season. If he keeps getting better there will be many teams interested. It's down to us to have a successful season so that he doesn't want to leave. The last part is the difficult bit.

 

He will go

 

Translated that for you.

 

Possibly. There's many options out there, I suspect they'll look at Dybala, Dembele and Herrera. They're linked to activating Asensio's release clause.

As long as we keep shutting the door on them for Herrera.

 

I've always rated Herrera, he's one of those I hate you having.

I thought Dybala would be the big sign of intent they are looking for.

 

Spot on

 

Ford is going nowhere this window.... @Matth_2014 must be livid at this news

In fact it's strange he hasn't Twitter reported it yet??

Lolz

 

Why would I be livid.

 

Erm maybe cos you've been championing the move all summer.

Pissed for you

 

I have more important things to worry about than a Long shot merchant going to Barcelona.
