    Most of the reports about their interest are saying they're only interested as a replacement for Neymar should he decide to go to PSG, so I agree with that.

    Otherwise where does he fit in that side?

    I see him in the Iniesta role tbh, but they would have downgraded massively if they sign Coutinho.

    Unfortunately Barca are gonna go through a stage where they can't replace the players they had because of how good they were. Imagine when Messi finally leaves/retires <confused>

    Not really Iniesta is old now and he's getting worse by the year. He's not even starting every game because he doesn't have the legs anymore. The other CM spot was rotated between Rakitic who had an average year and Dennis Suarez whos not sorted and Andre Gomes who also had a poor year.

    That CM spots are up for grabs imo as Barca really lacked in them last year which is why Enrique got a lot of flack as MSN wasn't being supplied properly and barca stopped controlling games

    Peak Coutinho wins any PL game ever, Iniesta has never done it in the PL

    Not even a decision. Iniesta is a legend of the game. Iniesta now though is a shadow of what he was as time waits for no man. Iniesta all day long at their peaks. Right now thought Coutinho is better than him

    You ever thought of having an online youtube presence. I reckon you would rack up the views with your opinions!. Some sort of Liverpool parody account

    Nope I'm just #footballgenius

    When the question specifies that you're already talking about players with the ability to single handedly win any game why choose the one who's a bit better but with zero experience of your team and league over the one who's #proven and needs no adjustment at all?

    Tell you what go on twitter and say that and see what you get :)

    you are donw a rabbit hole now trying to justify an nonsense statement. You can join tobes down there where he dug himself on #sellingclub


    Iniesta is an absolute world class player who in any other era bar messi/ronaldo would have one a world player ward or two.

    literally all you can say is factually iniesta never played in prem.

    He probably prefers a peak Danny Ings over a peak Messi too because messis never played in the PL

    We can spend part of Coutinho's money on Ross Barkley. How much is he going for Tobes?.
