Philippe Coutinho

Did well for Vasco when he first got into the team, though they did play in the 2nd division at the time.

 

I think he only played about 10 top division games before he moved.

 

He is classic case of someone who moved too early, victim of the pressure put on him by his agents and investors, as well as the hype that always comes here when they is a new attacking prospect.

 

I think he will be a good player in time but would be really wary of paying too much for him. Very unproven.

On that basis we'll probably end up bidding 16 million pounds for him then?

Yeah because from the start of this season, we've been massively overpaying for players havent we? :whistle:

I hope some of your recent positivness rubs off on me

 

I love a bit of positivity, me. I'd also love Coutinho, but I can't see why they'd let him go for anywhere near what we'd pay for him.

Seeing that he played about 30 games for Inter in a little under three years, I am not sure they are all that keen on him.

 

Would not pay much more than we have apparently offered. As I said, talented but unproven.

He is only just 20 though, mate. Not sure you can judge much on appearances. He also we.t out on load in that time.

I know and I am not writing the lad off. I lived in Rio when he was breaking through and he certainly has talent. Should have waited with the move and played in the top division here for a couple of seasons I think, just like Oscar did before moving to Chelsea.

 

I would be delighted if we got him, though I would not pay much more than what has been stated so far.

I don't mind overpaying to insure we get a player, just as long as they're decent enough to warrant it.
