Barcelona ‘ready to pay £132m in instalments’ for Coutinho

Barcelona have accepted that they will have to pay £132m for Philippe Coutinho and make him the second most expensive footballer in the world.
Their pursuit is now said by Spanish newspaper Sport to be entering the ‘final stretch’, with the Brazilian’s representatives and Barcelona ‘planning the assault’ on Liverpool.
Coutinho has been excellent since Liverpool refused a series of bids from Barcelona in the summer, deserving his place on our top ten players of 2017 list.
He is reported to be ready to push again for a move to Barcelona, who are currently six points clear at the top of La Liga.
Wages of £204,000 a week have apparently already been agreed.
Potential Barcelona teammate and fellow Brazilian Paulinho said: “Everyone expects the great players to come to Barcelona, we have a very strong group of great players, without Coutinho people are doing a great job.
“On Coutinho it is not necessary to say much; he is a great player, who has been making a difference in his team, in the Brazilian team, he is young but with experience in Europe.
“I want him to come, I think it would be a great signing for Barça. It would be a great happiness for me, because we would have another great player and another Brazilian.”

Two instalments of £132m please, one just before and one just after the medical <ok>
 
Liverpool to make January bid for Thomas Lemar as he prefers Reds move over Arsenal | @MiguelDelaney

:) :) :)

he's not exactly been marvellous so him and VVD are doing us a solid by lowering their prices.

If we get this done in advance out coutinho going next may and then I think no 6 and LCB MUST be done.

GK: 2 players neither ideal - check
RB: 2 players, one injured - check?
RCB: gomez and matip - Check
LCb: disaster zone - X
LB: 2 players, neither ideal klopp likes them so check.
no 6: henderson only - X
No 8: pick from kieta, lallana, wijnaldum, ox, grujic, milner
LF: Mane, lemar? if true this would be big CHECK!
CF: Firmino, Solanke. ?
RF: salah, ox cover ?

Really i assume can, coutinho, sturridge and ings will go. kids will go on loan. (woodburn, wilson etc)

If we got lemar then a no 6 controlling CM and an LCB are really needed. That would give us a full squad more or less and from there its bring in more quality.

There's lots of scope to improve that squad but we will see.

Mingolet
TAA Matip X - X
Keita X - Oxo
Salah Firmino Mane

Lemar to compete for a place or take on as other no 8... hell maybe klopp will put oxo at no 6!!!
 
... I'd rather spend it on a couple of strong players than 4 or 5 mediocre players.

Lamar and VJD in and Coutinho out... Overall net improvement of the squad?

after: mane Keita salah firmino.. lemar... yeah **** it that has to be net improvement as much as we enjoy seeing the little magician play.

I men let's face it

before: coutinho, balotelli, borini, lambert, sturridge (injured)

have to be happy with that transformation.


if our back line becomes taa, Gomez vvd and a left full sure why not. it coyld be good.

I still say buy timo horn as well.
