Philippe Coutinho

[Jay86]

DeBruyne is the best player in the league.

De Bruyne is one of the best in the world at the moment, his goal yesterday was sensational, the right foot touch, left foot shift then smacking it top corner with his left foot. Not many in world football are capable of that. Whatever anyone thinks of Pep, he certainly improves a certain type of player.

[Tj hooker]

Love how him and Salah are obviously on the same wavelength saw a bit of it in pre season but it was very evident yesterday

[3 Stacks]

Scoring or assisting in almost every game he plays in now. Don't think consistency is an issue anymore.  

[LFC 6 Times]

De Bruyne's flavour of the month, Phil is a better dribbler, better striker of a ball and scores more goals. Hence the interest from PSG and Barca.

I think that’s more to do with being attainable, if they thought they could sign De Bruyne for about £100m they’d sign him over Coutinho in a heartbeat and I do really rate Coutinho, why would he leave City at the moment? They’ve one of the best managers in the world, the best training facility in the world and gets paid a fortune to be there. He’s not flavour of the month at all, he’s been brilliant since he left Chelsea, his assist and goal record shows you how important he is to every team he plays for. He’s the best player in the league at the moment by a distance. Unbelievable footballer.

Yup. He’s a very good player De Bruyne. Not blessed with amazing technique or dribbling ability, but he strikes the ball so clean. Reminds me a bit of David Beckham.

Beckham! that surprises me. For me, he's the closest thing I've seen to Chris Waddle, in how he looks disinterested and lazy one minute, then running the game the next. He's got a turn of pace, good skill and can crack a ball. 

 

Waddle on his day, was a class act. Wish we'd got him, though the Heysel ban put pay to that.

Waddle was a bit before my time. You don’t see the similarities with Beckham? Wand of a right foot, little pace, can play wide or central.

Yep. World Class.

Beckham - srsly?? Debruyne is better with his left foot than Beckham was with his right- his ball striking is the least of his qualities ffs - talk about red blinkers. He gets in any side in the world, every week.

Red blinkers? I hate United.

 

Beckham delivers quality crosses every game. This one assist to Ronaldo is one of the best passes I’ve seen.

Fuck off you cunt!!

 

Paris Saint-Germain captain Thiago Silva admits he is in regular contact with Philippe Coutinho and says he hopes his compatriot will “work with us”.

 

Liverpool rejected three sizeable offers from Barcelona for the attacker during the summer transfer window and the Brazilian, who scored in his side's 3-0 win over Southampton on Saturday, has recently said he is happy at Anfield despite continued speculation over his future.

 

Recent reports have suggested that PSG, who currently boast five of Coutinho's international team-mates in Dani Alves, Neymar, Lucas Moura, Marquinhos and Silva, are also interested in signing the 25-year-old, and central defender Silva is keen to see that happen.

"I talk a lot with Coutinho. I hope that at the end of the season or even before, it could be a nice surprise for us," Silva is quoted as saying by Telefoot.

 

"I hope he will think well and that next year he will work with us

Silva has admitted in the past that he did his best to persuade Neymar to move to Paris and says he has also been keen to give Coutinho advice.

 

"As with Neymar, I give him a lot of advice," he added. "But I think the most important thing for him is to make the best decision

[TheHowieLama]

Yea - so DeBruyne plays central and runs the game - scores with either foot

Mate if he is going an auction is better for us.

[mouse1989]

I'd sooner he fucks off to PSG than Barca. At least they'll pay what he's actually worth

[aRdja]

Beckham also played central for Real Madrid and Milan. A brilliant Madrid side too with Zidane, Figo, Ronaldo etc.

Totally.. my fuck off you cunt was about the chatting shit to the press.. bet they don’t get a slap on the wrist for tapping up

Shucks, did not know that 

[TheHowieLama]

They all speak different languages though so for the English press that becomes difficult

[LFC 6 Times]

Coutinho is hugely underrated. His dribbling and balance to feint past opponents is up some of the best I've ever seen, irrespective of the quality of the player they can't even get near to him he always makes them flat footed and glides by them. He really is an absolutely majestic footballer. 

[Rorschach08]

Coutinho is good, I like Coutinho

[TheHowieLama]

Yep - our best player.

Overrated side with brilliant players more like. Won fuck all after Makelele left. Don't think they won a single thing in the three seasons Beckham was there, despite all their Figo, Zidane, Raul, Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Robinho, Casillas, Samuel, Owen etc... They were largely second fiddle to Rafa's Valencia and Ronaldinho's Barca during these years.

They won La Liga in his last season with them.

[Red House]

Was that the season Capello won the league on the last day of the season and got sacked straight after? Could not even remember if Beckham was still there that season. He was pretty much in and out of the side in his last season. 

Couldn't stand the whole Galacticos' bullshit, so their constant underachievement was particularly enjoyable. Well, Zidane aside. He was ace. His CL final wondergoal was pretty the high point of the Galacticos era, went pretty much downhill from thereon.
