Noticed alot of opposition fans doing this. Coming here saying we shouldn't begrudge Couts want to leave for someone like Barca and the truth is that most of us don't (read back). We've been resigned to the fact he will go as some point in the next couple of years for sometime.
Think we're worried about the time, that its so close to the deadline and worry of a replacement. And that Klopp and FSG haven't shown much savvy in the transfer window thus far.

And just to nullify the VvD comparison, yes we're in a similar situation with Couts but unlike Soton fans we wont begrudge a transfer and shout insults at Barca just because they want to sign one of our players. As long as we can get a ridiculous fee for Couts then thats football and all the best to him, think Soton fans should feel the same about VvD.

To be perfectly honest, with the amount of cash that you could potentially get from Barca, it could well be a good move for the club.

Yeah Coutinho is a top player, but you know Barca have just received loads from PSG, so you can ask for silly money. The problem you'll have is spending that money, especially with everyone else knowing how much you've got for Coutinho. Every player you go for after the sale, the price will go up.

Excuse me that's make do tm.... as in that's my catchphrase.

Lfc has shown huge willingness to settle for second best in the past. Mario balotelli.

Ok. I'll change that to "a disgruntled fan".
So, Mario then. Do you want them to keep making the same mistakes or learn from them?
 
Email lol....no balls on the wee man...klopp will break him. He'll Cry, hug his favourite Neymar doll, then go back to his 50 minutes of football...ok..he will be under protest so 40 minutes.
 
Remember when little Mikey manipulated his dream move to Real?

Bet he's still got those splinters from sitting on the Real bench so many times, if Barca sign their other reported targets Couthinho might suffer a similar fate(hopefully), signing for them doesn't necessarily mean starring for them.

The "make do" phrase is used by disgruntled fans - it's not the declared intention of FSG. They've shown a readiness to spend on worthwhile targets, but aren't so keen to spend on second best. You could just as easily describe this as sound business sense.
Klopp has said many times he doesn't want players who aren't his primary targets, whether or not that's wise is something else we'll have to wait and see.
Speaking of which - the window doesn't close for a while yet.

Heres the problem then, if Klopp only wants his first choice targets and we can't land either of them (Keita is definitely off this summer) then whats the point in still having time in the window as we wont be buying anyone or wont be looking at anyone else.

Last year the squad was only just good enough to get 4th (barely), we've only added Salah (of any real 1st team quality) and may lose Couts, so overall the squad is no better. This is made worse by Rivals spending big and addressing weakness, and our own added games with CL. So I'm pessimistic over the coming season as I feel we've wasted yet another Transfer window (for a different reason this time) and will have to have yet another year of transition and waiting, when we should have capitalised on the progress of CL.

For the record... while some don't agree.....

My view is coutinho is about to emerge as a world star and this one in 4 or throws in bad game stuff I don't agree with. I felt he was due two years ago but it didn't happen until klopp came. I think klopp moving him to no 8 and putting guys in front of him would exploit his ability. He's been dropping into that position then finding nobody to pass too as he was supposed to be lw. At no 8 he will blossom.

So yeah it's a huge loss to lfc, as I said the moment neymar went Barca went in and this is inevitable.

You can replace some guys but guys with vision and ability are hard to get. Most of our rivals have examples of players they never replaced. Scholes, Ronaldo, bergkamp, henry, robben at chelsea, fabregas at arsenal etc etc...

Coutinho was just about to emerge to that top top level imo after 4 years developing him.

So imo off should have known 100% he was not going to formally ask for transfer befo're declaring no sale, better to say nothing at all. Now they must either sit the guy down and agree he stays one season or sell him now. No point whinging over it or having a spoiled squad morale.

Get it done cos clearly you have not in 2 weeks action already.

That's what the grown ups do....

I think he'll start in the front 3 if he goes and then drop into Iniestas role next season. He's good enough to be a star there.
