They've offered £90m love, on the cheap!
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?
Of course it's only an opinion, I'm hardly going to have insider info about Coutinho ffs
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.
Little club like Southampton also knocking Liverpool back?. The word little misleading???
From Barca perspective mate not mine.
Its well known that Barca have been looking at Couts for a few seasons, its just now they have to replace Neymar (although its more likely a replacement for Inesta) and have a huge amount of cash burning a hole and desperate to keep up with Real, hence the approach this summer.
The Spanish media belong to Real and Barca, the clubs deliberately leak stories and have rumours planted in the Spanish press so they don't get accused of tapping up. They can turn around and say it was all the Presses fault for unsettling player X.
