Philippe Coutinho

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

The wee fella is third all time for most assists for the club.

 

 

Liverpool's greatest Premier League creators...

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

Coutinho is? Since what date?

Smells like a football only started once Opta was invented type of "all time"...

 

Premier League era.

[Lee909]

Premier League era.

 

 

So since football started then

Everyone knows the reset button was pressed in 92 and nothing before counts

[lifetime fan]

Fucking hell, Kenny, Barnes and Beardsley probably had more in just two seasons.

[INTORRESTING]

Coutinho is absolute class but has never played for a full season.

[3 Stacks]

Pretty reliable source saying Barca will sign Ozil in January for 20m. Maybe that means they leave Coutinho alone.

Philippe Coutinho has selected his dream five-a-side team with a manager and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has failed to get the nod from the Brazilian.

 

As part of an interview with Soccer AM, Coutinho was asked to name his five-aside team, from the players he’s played with throughout his career

“This is going to be very hard for me because I’ve played with a lot of great players,” he told Soccer AM’s YouTube channel.

 

“I’m going to play with one goalkeeper, obviously, one defender, one midfielder and two attackers, very offensive because we need to score goals.”

 

Asked who would be the manager, he replied: “Tite, he’s one of the best coaches I’ve had.”

 

 

 

Coutinho’s five-a-side team…

 

Goalkeeper: Julio Cesar

 

“When I arrived at Inter Milan, in this moment, for me, he was the best goalkeeper in the world. He did great things at Inter. He is one of the best goalkeepers I’ve played with. When I arrived at Inter I was so young and he helped me off the pitch. It was difficult being a long way from my family and friends. He is very quick with his movement and is also good with his feet.”

 

Defender: Lucio

 

“When I arrived at Inter he was in his best moment. He won everything at Inter. He was very tough and trained as hard as he played. He’s a really nice guy but when he arrived in the dressing room for the game he changed, you could not talk to him because he was focused on the game.”

 

Midfielder: Steven Gerrard

“This is an easy pick. He is one of the best players I’ve played with and I learned a lot from him. When I arrived at Liverpool it was a dream to play with him, a guy who I used to watch in Brazil and I used to play with on the PlayStation. Stevie G is the best midfielder I’ve played with. He was an idol for me and for everyone who watched him play, but when you were together with him, and you see him training, it was different, he was even better. He was great at shooting, passing and defending and a big leader.”

 

Striker: Neymar

 

“He’s not a bad player! He is one of the best in the world. I’ve played with him many times with the national team at U15, U16, U17 level. He has always been different. He will win the Ballon d’Or one day, it’s coming, I think. He is the best technical player I’ve played with. He’s very skilful, in training there will be five players around him them he’ll do one movement to get away.”

 

Striker: Luis Suarez

 

“He is a top player. He’s a killer in front of goal, if he has a chance he scores. I’ve played with a lot of strikers but I think he’s the best one because he doesn’t miss and he fights a lot. He’s a family guy, he helped me a lot when I arrived at Liverpool and he’s really nice.”

 

Captain: Gerrard

 

“He’s the leader. Simple.”

 

Manager: Tite

 

“He’s great. He’s doing great things for Brazil and is one of the best coaches I’ve had. I have learned a lot from him

You can see this article being picked apart by the press vultures and adding 2+2 and getting the wrong answers. 'Coutinho snubs Klopp' 'Coutinho wants to join Neymar/Suarez.' All because he chose a five a side team on the interweb.

EXIT DOOR LIKELY AS COUTINHO LABELS MANAGER TIT

Give it time. Maybe I am ahead of the curve?

[Gym Beglin]

Coutinho is talking up the manager ahead of the World Cup, because obviously he wants to start every game. 

 

Henderson is going to be disappointed not to make his 5 a side team.

Liverpool were hoping that the fact Coutinho will not be eligible to play in the Champions League for Barca this season, as he has already played for the Reds in the same competition, would put the Catalan giants off.

 

Barcelona have reportedly identified how much they are willing to pay towards landing long-term target Philippe Coutinho from Liverpool.

 

The Brazilian remains Barca’s number one target in January, despite their failure to land him in the summer as Liverpool held firm in the face of continued speculation that their star man would move to La Liga

However, both Sport and Mundo Deportivo claim Barcelona are ready to spend big in order to finally land their man.

 

Their final offer during the summer reached £118million, but they are reportedly ready to spend up to £130m this time around, while Coutinho himself would earn a huge £237,000-a-week.

 

In order to facilitate Coutinho’s arrival, Barca boss Ernesto Valverde will need to free up some space in the squad and on the wage bill.

 

And the expected departure of Arda Turan, who earns £145,000-a-week, will free up the money to get the Liverpool star.

Sauce?

[G Richards]

Also, how is the £130M structured? If it’s in dribs and drabs, with half paid now and the other half to come from winning things like the boat race, Strictly and the Great British bake off, then no thanks.

[Harry Squatter]

No doubt Barca will dick us about over the money.

[Thoth]

Sauce?

Sport and Mundo.. as stated in the article

[Lee909]

If they are paying straight up 130ml even in the normal few instalments its a great deal. Well it would be if you could trust our owners to add it to the transfer kity and it not being the transfer kitty.

 

Love to see us make a few statement signings

[Boss]

Hold out for £150m. They need to bring in Coutinho to keep Messi, otherwise he's off to City. Messi has probably said in no uncertain terms "bring in Coutinho or i'm off". 

 

We've got them by the bollocks here. Coutinho has 4 years left on his deal and we can do without him if he refuses to play. There's no reason to cave in whatsoever.

[Lee909]

Messi has just signed a new long term deal

[Boss]

Messi has just signed a new long term deal

 

Oh right, i didn't know that. 

[Boss]

The plan was Van Dijk and Lemar in the summer. Southampton will want about £60m for Van Dijk and Monaco will want at least £70m for Lemar. So i suppose the £130m will cover that.

[Anubis]

£130m. Ok, PSG, over to you. What have you got?
