It's about time John Henry went public about the Couthinho/Barca thing, the latest from Barca is that FSG told them we'd sell at £178m(€200), until our owners say it's not true we can take it is, which would mean all the pats on the back we gave them for standing up to Barca were wasted and that they were willing to take money ahead of striving for success, and yep I know he's still here and back in the fold but it's not about him wanting his Barca move it's about our owners motives.


Liverpool wanted £178m for Philippe Coutinho, says Barcelona president

They came out with this a day or so after the transfer window closed, and they were specific about it being €200m.
I call bullshit on the whole thing.
 
It's fairly transparent. He made out that they did everything they could to get the player, but LFC wanted so much money that he couldn't risk jeopardising the financial stability of his lovely club.
He's been playing to his audience throughout the entire saga.

Yeah they knew the moment the psg interest surfaced they had to do **** and they pulled every Stunt they could including corrupt use of la liga powers to try block registration etc.

They then turned on us for a player they were luke warm on as theres not many players available to them and tried every trick in the book.

Their offers were really derisory and as such showed their true position.

The struggle to pay neymar, suarez and then 400k per week to messi has blunted them. The vanity nou camp refurb will break them.... they have a president thinking he's all in and **** the consequences.
 
Is the writing date stamped electronically so as to withstand court analysis ?[/QUOTE]

Wut? Well since you're getting all legal about it, the burden of proof falls upon the party making the claim, which in this case is Barca claiming that Liverpool asked for 200m Euros. If what they say is true, where is the evidence?
