Philippe Coutinho

[stringvest]

He's a good kid. He's just been hanging out with a bad crowd.

 

Anyway, good that we stood up to Barcelona, but it will mean little unless we add another first teamer before the window closes.

 

 

haha!  blameless little innocent pup, these nasty people leading him astray.  Fuck me.

Signing them probably but I think virtually any player we signed would want to go to real or barcelona if they put a serious bid in for them. They'd have left whatever club they were at to sign for us so would have little to stop them signing for either of them even if we were winning titles.

I guess we won't know until we're winning stuff consistently. We'll put the question in a time capsule so maybe our grandchildrens grandchildren could find out.

Mate, even manchester united lost ronaldo to real.

Im not disagreeing that Barca and Real are a huge draw. In my mind though it's fairly obvious that if we're winning stuff we'd attract better players and keep them for longer. We won't keep every player we ever want for ever and ever.

I wouldnt disagree with that sentiment.

Apart from Ronaldo they haven't lost really anyone else like that. Also have managed to hold onto DeGea as well.

We've lost loads of players over the last while. Torres leaving was to do with winning trophies and not being part of FSG's project. He was right as he won trophies while we've won one league cup.

Torres going was good business, Chelsea found out at their expense he was a £50 mill busted flush. Our mistake was replacing him with a retarded grock.

I think you're giving them too much credit there - that's only because of a dodgy fax machine.

Barcelona are a team in decline. Neymar has fucked off, they have a Hodgsonesque nonentity as manager, and they're set to lose Messi and Iniesta when their contracts expire next summer. Meanwhile they're signing utter shite, like Premier League rejects Paulinho and Deulofeu. If Coutinho is going to move, he should wait until he has the opportunity to play for someone decent.

it worked out well for us as his best years were with us.

Point I was making though is he saw more ambition from another club to win trophies than staying with us.

From what I recall, Ronaldo had achieved pretty much everything at United and wanted to test himself at what he considered to be a higher level. This for me would be referred to as moving on as a result of boredom.

 

If Coutinho is moving because of boredom, he is most likely wanting to move as a result of being bored of not achieving anything so far.

 

As a group of players, they all need to pull their socks up and start delivering what they are capable of, if they really think they are that good as simply moving to another club does not always guarantee achieving success.

 

Ask Michael Owen.

They are a team built around a phenomenal footballer,  They have reaped massive rewards letting Messi be the main focus but given he can't be replaced it all comes at a price when his powers inevitably wane. With Suarez now the wrong side of 30 and Iniesta well past his best losing Neymar was a massive blow . They were always going to fade for a while as Messi faded but they were arrogant where Neymar was concerned and thought he was locked in belt and braces,  They face further decline imo and a huge problem dealing with Messi as he can't deliver in the way he has in the past. Mad as it may seem it could be in their long term interests to cash in at some point although unlikely the fans will agree,

Hey, if you want to believe any player we have signed \ will sign wouldnt push to sign for real and barcelona even if we were winning titles, knock yourself out.

Klopp has now said that Coutinho is 'ill' and doesn't know when he will return. Smells to me of he'll come back when I have told him he's well enough.

Oy vey, this situation.

Send him to Brazil, he'll join the national team in a week and then can come back and do his pre season.

[an tha]

Fuck Brazil...if he isn't fit enough to train or play for us then he isn't fit enough to train or play with them.

I wasn't being completely serious. I'll use a few smiley faces for you next time.

[Oh Buoy]

Score over 20 goals and we'll pretend this never happened, Phillip.

On the newer Football Managers you get a whole posse of his teammates turning up in your office demanding he be sold. Chalk up footy management sims as something else ruined in the modern game.

FCB to bid £101m with £36m add ons for coutinho. Player hasnt given up hope of a move this window.

 

Add ons said to be dependant on CL appearance, whether this is all is not clear nor the period of time for the add ons ie 2, 3, 4 or 5 years.

[TheHowieLama]

YYYYYEEEEESSSSSS!!!!!

 

 

100 million smackeroooosss!

 

Get in the boat.

[an tha]

101m upfront?

 

If the club could be trusted to re-invest that money properly back into the side as well as the original plans for centre half etc then i'd say take it.
