ffs, I'm trying to keep up with what's happening but am in a meeting. One minute he's not being sold at all, the next he's handed a transfer request in and now he hasn't, it's just the quote from a family member...have no idea wtf is going on.

Barca certainly know how to unsettle a player and a club to the point of no return. I hope we just tell the to f#ck off and do one.

Klopp and FSG say he will not be sold. Case closed.

Will FSG keep this stance if request is real?

THAT is the question. If Klopp says no and they say yes, well we've gone over this all week, even before the alleged TR: the club will implode. Surely even they are feeling it's better to keep a disaffected Coutinho than backtrack on what they themselves said an hour ago.
 
Refuse to let him leave and Coutinho either sulks or gets on with it. Sulking will kill any future big move, getting on with it will make him worth more

Its a world cup year and he is the big star next to Neymar, I'm sure he will want to perform this season wherever he is.
 
Oh, and at the risk of more hypocrisy, isn't it time, given all the reports of pre-agreed contracts, that we do a Soton (and a barca themselves, asking UEFA to investigate PSG) and lodge a complaint of illegal approach? Won't get anywhere, but it seems odd that we're the only ones in this food chain not kicking off.
 
Who knows. He's impossible to replace at this stage of the window but I note that Rafhina hasn't moved on from Barca and I've thought for a while that we might be in for him and that he could still from pet of a deal.

Nooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IF we sell (we still don't have to), do NOT let Barca get away with anything but full cash and £135m of it, and they pay the agents too. And no ****ing instalments.
