Sky and all its pundits still falling for the line of 'When Barca want their man, they always get him'. That's so 2014. Barca agreed a contract with Veratti behind PSG's back - PSG (bless 'em, hope they come in for Ford one day: £80m at most to them) simply said **** off. The times, they are a re changin', and Sky are so behind the curve.
 
So what happens next is that a bad back turns into a meeting with Klopp and a transfer request

You sound like a saints fan there.

Just sub in Chelsea for psg and vvd for coutinho, off for Barca and **** knows who for veratti
 
Interesting comments from Rose.

Want it to play up north at some point. Want to win a trophy and if opportunity comes to join club then wouldn't have issue voicing his thoughts to Spurs. Only has 1 big contract left and wants to make most of it. Wants a pay rise when renegotiate contract because feels he should be paid what he deserves.
 
Chiefs open to letting Philippe Coutinho join Barcelona
05:00: Apologies. It is looking very much like a Philippe Coutinho kind of day.
Spanish newspaper Marca are sensationally reporting that Liverpool chiefs are actually HAPPY to let him go for the right price.
And, instead, the stumbling block is manager Jurgen Klopp.
Klopp is desperate for his star playmaker to remain at Anfield and it is he who will need the most persuading if Barcelona want to tie up a deal.
Diego Costa would be better than Philippe Coutinho
04:40: That's the view of Manchester United legend Phil Neville.
Speaking on Sky Sports, the retired defender said he thinks Chelsea's Diego Costa would be more useful to Liverpool than Philippe Coutinho.
"I think if they got £100m, reinvested and say bought Diego Costa or someone like that," he said.
"That would give them a better chance of winning the league than probably having Coutinho in the side.

Is he going to United or City?
 
Whoever you support, the transfer window will be warming up massively soon.....we're in the last 3 weeks and the amount of money sloshing about Europe is mind blowing. Some big names for big money and some bargains still to be had.

If we sell Couthino we must use it or we will go backwards....we probably already were without his sale and no other new faces.

£90m and Rafinha for Couts
Rose, VvD for £100m?
£40m for Costa

All areas covered with a few million to spare <ok>

<whistle>
 
Oh, that thing again. Thought you had some info there. Luis threw his teddy out the cot in 2013. Played his best season ever for us after that and nearly won us the league. That was WC season too.
Of course it's only an opinion, I'm hardly going to have insider info about Coutinho ffs <laugh>

The difference with Suarez was that Barca made him aware that they'd wait 12 months, and he accepted that scenario.

I don't think Coutinho could bank on the same scenario, Barca need someone now, if it isn't going to be him then I fully expect that they'd move on to another target. Therefore if the player wants the move he's going to have push for it to go through this month.

Coutinho isn't going to replace Neymar anyway so the idea that they only want him now or will move on just shows they don't actually rate him

This is also backed up by them valuing him at about £80m when Liverpool value him much higher

Not a very convincing pitch by Barca; "come now on the cheap as a PR distraction or we're not bothered for you"

They've offered £90m love, on the cheap! <laugh>

Having a prime target but then moving on if you can't land him is [HASHTAG]#standard[/HASHTAG] in the game (unless you're Klopp who appears to have one choice or "we'll go with what we've got" lol)

Probably a daft question given that it's to you, but do you think you'll manage to hold onto him this window?
