Philippe Coutinho

[Hades]

When I see teeth like that I think cheesy American self-help 'entrepreneur'/snake-oil salesman. Not a trustworthy look. 

[Sweeney287]

He's been to the same dentist as Bobby. Crickey, need sunglasses to look at him.

[aRdja]

Good news the club is supposedly going to offer the magician a new contract. Still cant believe some would get rid of him at first chance.

He's talking about you Stringvest.

[Thoth]

Get him tied down for at least 5 years with a massive buy out clause to fuck these oil clubs off

[Creator Supreme]

Still a bit inconsistent, but when he's on blob he's unplayable.

Same here. With a personality like Shooter McGavin.

Sadly, there's more than just one!

[Jim MM]

PSG & Barca sniffing around, Club are right to offer him a new contract.

 

Lallana and Lovren getting one too.

A good old fashioned Hands Of Warning. Nice.

Or a good old fashioned sit tight in January and you can have a formal release clause for the summer like your mate Luis.

You sure you manage to soak all those chips there, champ?

26 assists and 26 goals for us in 133 games.

 

I say we hold onto him for another year and then see what's what. He's Brazilian, he's probably gagging to go to Barca, there's not a lot we can do about that other than try to get the most money possible, or get a quality player in p/x.

That's probably truer than I'd like it to be. And extending it to other South American players, despite all the criticism, I don't think there's anything the club could have done to keep Suarez or Mascherano when they wanted out too.

 

Klopp is well used to all that from the Dortmund/Bayern dynamic anyway. He has enough confidence in himself and his approach and his own recruitment policy that I can't see him giving that much of a fuck.

[Gym Beglin]

Same, I think the entire idea around building a system is that all parts are interchangeable without massive problems as long as jobs are done.

 

Coutinho may be sold, but the show will go on, and could even improve. Imagine a Coutinho-esque player but 6 foot tall, or rapid.

I agree this is probably true in most cases but I wonder if it is in Philippe's.

 

He started out at Inter, remember, another club that ranks pretty highly in Brasil.  It did not go well for him at all, and I've always had the impression that stuck with him in some way, that he realises that not every club suits every player, no matter how good he may be.  

 

Might be he'd be happy to stay with Liverpool as long as we're in that next bracket of clubs below Barca/Real/Bayern, and things are going well for him.  Obviously he's not going to stay forever if we're out the CL and struggling, but if we're up in the top 2-3 and looking likely to keep at that level at a minimum during Klopp's tenure, I think he might just persuade Coutinho to stick with us.

[Herp McDerp]

Y'all muthafuckas worrying about Coutinho being poached by Barca, I'm just bricking it at the prospect of Lambanana being nicked by one of Barca/Bayern/Madrid. Like wee Joe I fear he'll be off to pastures greener once he decides to spread his wings and realise his true potential.

COUTINHO admits to GLOBO: "Playing on the left is my position at Liverpool. It's where I feel comfortable."

 

Answered this when asked where he most likes to play. Most want him to play in the #10 or in midfield but it seems he's really taken to the left side and he's really increased his goal tally since moving there.

Well he's a bit of a prick then, because I don't want him sold. Or anyone else for that matter.

You're giving Lucas away for spares?

 

Always said you had a heart of gold, Peter.

Not even Lucas?

Great minds.

[Torvald Utne]

Yes, clearly you have one of those

No point. He's happy to sit in the reserves or on the bench, and we wouldn't get anything for him. He's a nice guy as well, and he's doing no-one any harm. Let sleeping dogs lie.
