He really needs to go back to the continent imo as the eveidence suggests he isn't going to cut it in the PL . The Saints fans on this forum seem generally to rate his performance there as "dogshit" bit with the occasional goal .
He is the kind or risk some clubs are willing to take. 7.5mil fee, small wage, already prob took in a mill or a mil and a half on his loan. 10mil sale fee? Easy. Same for shaqiri. Easy stuff can really go wrong on him either. The question has to be whether having this sort of player improves our team or really just out bank balance
Anyone see that story that Barca want to hand Coutinho back to us to avoid paying the rest of his transfer fee? We'd get him for nothing, bar the lack of money they owe us (still) for him.
I've seen it. Rumours are they still owe us 50m though; don't know if that's pound or euros. Either way, I'd rather have the money
Looks like type of player that would fit in well. Good record albeit in a weaker league but similar styles of play etc
We sold the Barca debt to a 3rd party company so it actually would cost us same amount as it would anyone else
https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spo...ppe-coutinho-liverpool-barcelona-19700776.amp So if they were to give us coutinho back we’d have to pay the money to 3rd party anyway, so not a freebie
We'd be paying off Barcas debt as we've already had the money then. If it were £10-15m I'd say go for it, but £35m I'd rather let them suffer.
He played for Bayern on loan and scored against Barcelona in the semi final I think it was when Bayern won it last year.
Pretty much. Reading it sounds like Barca have done around 19 deals in similar way where still owe money. Makes you laugh that they’re somehow in 1b debt but still passing ffp, still signing players on what I’d imagine will be decent wages and signing on fee in agusto, Garcia abs rumoured to be Gini and depay ,
Bout 8 hours late dribs mate Btw.. If you happen to bump into Tobes could you let him know he owes me his avi and username for a year as per our betz4bantz wager
