Not really, we would have to replace Couts creativity and at this point in the window that's not easy
Keita is more box to box and wouldn't have that creative spark, would run all day but just wouldn't do the stuff Couts does. I can't see Firmino doing it either tbh
Keita is a creative type as well - his passing is underrated. But the idea is to have Can as 6, Keita as B2B and Coutinho as 8. That would be heaven.
Same here. **** Coutinho. Defence and some bite in midfield is what we need. It shouldn't be a case of choosing. Both positions should have been strengthened already. ****ing jokes. I don't even care if it's not VVD or Keita, just good solid players.
I'm glad we leaked the terms of the latest Barca bid. Hopefully Coutinho and his agent realise that it's a 'mickey mouse' offer.
The owners said that 70-80 mil would be hard to turn down about 2 days ago, not in those words but it was obvious what they meant. He is for sale imo. Otherwise Ragnick (or whatever the twat is called) would of kept quiet.
TBF, that would give us some decent options in midfield and attack... Milner, Can, Hendo, Wijnaldum, Lallana, Coutinho, The Ox and Keita all fighting for three midfield spots Salah, Mane, Firmino, Coutinho, Ings, Origi, Studge, The Ox and Woodburn fighting for three attacking spots. Edit; I suppose CB wouldn't be bad either... Matip, Lovren, Klavan, Gomez and Van Dickface fighting for two spots
Not remotely. We already struggle to break down any team (literally, any team) who sit back and defend then try to hit us on the counter.
