look its simple.. clubs play the game. the game is to get the max. his club want x we won't give so i nthe end we play the game until... someone cracks and an undisclosed fee is published both sides claim to have got a great deal. as for the forwards. moses.. muck aspas... journeyman borini.. average at best, only cos he's got a few for sunderland recently sterling... young and not much end product.. alberto.. midfield and showing nothing In short we need players.. coutinho need to establish himself in midfield where is passing and abiltiy o nthe ball can flourish. so if we play konoplyanka suarez and sturridge in forn of i hope and eventual midfield trio containing gerrard coutinho and A.N.OTHER then fine.. if he's good enough.. i don't know.. i;ll have to see him play... looks a powerful lad anyway.
To summarise: We're not buying him. We are buying him We are not. We are. We are not. We are. He has a tight bum hole.
