My understanding is Klopp is a proud (stubborn) man who would happily get rid of Coutinho right now whereas the owners won't sell him (hence the strong statement).
Klopp has shown he's willing to cut off his nose to spite his face with the treatment of Sakho at the detriment to our defence, and I think he'd do the same with Coutinho.
Right now, I'm backing the owners to stay strong and keep Coutinho at all costs because we NEED him, and if you don't think that, watch yesterday's game again.
I was willing to give Edwards a chance but we need a strong DOF who will challenge Klopp. We should have had at least 2-3 new signings by now - now we still could before the end of the window but we could be out of the CL by that point.
I can't accept that we couldn't find other CB's - Spurs has the best defence and still spent £35m on a new defender. United had a good defence and signed Lindelof;
