Quotes from Talk Sport guy... Villa and Southampton were interested but inter didn't want to sell Inter decided to sell Coutinho five days ago because they want Paulinho and selling Sneijder has not raised enough Liverpool became interested Minimum price would be 13m euros (£11m) Southampton are still involved as are Liverpool Inter are holding out in the hope that Southampton increase their offer
Apparently Liverpool have matched Inter's asking price, but Southampton still interested in signing him, Inter will wait this weekend to see if our bid is made formal, and wait until Monday to see if S'ton raises the a bid.
Well, I thought £8m for more potential wasn't the best move but apparently its £11m On the plays side, Inter didn't want to sell because they saw him as the new Kaka. Obviously not as much as Paulinho
If he's given that impression, then Southampton would be daft to presue the transfer further, see no diference in signing a player that doesn't really want to be there and keeping hold of a player that wants to leave!
I don't know anything about him to be honest. I used to follow Seria A closely but not anymore. Not since they got rid of GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZIOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
If he prefers to come to us and doesn't want to join Saints (not sure on this bit, wasn't covered), then surely we could get him cheaper?
Maybe, they up'd the offer slightly and agreed to pay more up front.. 7M up front and 4M in staggered paymetns when certain conditions are met?
Money is money. He did just say they need to sell him to get Paulinho - which they aim to do by Monday.
