Philippe Coutinho

[TheHowieLama]

He's bigger than the club

[Guest Pistonbroke]

It did put CL at risk.  We're a better team with him in it and the tie was still in the balance when Hoffenheim arrived at Anfield.

 

If you think it's okay for him to strike for a month I'm fine with that.  Personally, I think it's a cunt's trick. 

 

Your proof that he was actually striking? 

[Pureblood]

The trend of him having nearly every January off goes on longer than the trend of him faking injury to push through a move. So in this case that's what I choose to believe.

 

Okay.

[TheHowieLama]

The trend of him having every December off goes on longer

 

HAAHHH -- see what I have done!!!

 

I made a funny about the top wage earner at the club  -- hahahaha

[Pureblood]

Your proof that he was actually striking? 

 

Daft question.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Daft question.

 

Why? 

[Pureblood]

Why? 

 

Because you know well as I do that there is no proof.

 

Look, if you want to believe that he had a bad back for a month and then returned to action with no drop off in form at all like a player normally has when returning from injury, like Coutinho himself on some occasions, that's fine.

 

I'm allowed to reasonably infer that he was faking it.

Ballbag reporting:

 

"About Coutinho. Barcelona will soon make an offer of €110+40. Chairman Bartomeu feels in debt to him for how hard he's trying to go to FCB. Their top players want him. LFC have changed their tone but have not put price to him. They will act when offer arrives. Which it will."

The annoying part of that whole Nike fiasco is that if New Balance had Van Dijk on their website last summer, or we had one of our players in the media joking about finding him a house in Formby we'd be balls deep in a lengthy transfer ban right now.

But you are using it as if there was proof, when it is just fans speculation and opinions. Suit your agenda? Opinions are fine because we all have them, but using them to make up excuses why you think XYZ is a cunt without any proof, shake your head lad.

No I'm not.  I'm making an inference, like I just stated.  Is that okay? 

[Funkasy]

Are there people here that really believe he was injured at the start of the season ?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

No I'm not.  I'm making an inference, like I just stated.  Is that okay? 

 

No, because you are just squirming like a worm on a hook now. You were clearly using it as if it were fact, why would you ask if I was fine with him striking for a Month etc?

 

In fact, treat that as rhetorical, i can't be arsed with getting into an argument, I've said what I wanted to say.

Acute Van Dijkicitis - yes , painful

[KMD7]

I think he was faking it and he's probably faking it now.  Probably under the advice of his agent. 

 

Just makes me hate him even more

I'm not using it as fact.  You appear to have comprehension problems.  I've stated several times that it's an assumption and not proof, because there isn't any.  Are you drunk?

AGENDA

[TheHowieLama]

I love him so much I pre-ordered the Barca jersey - IN A SMEDIUM

[Funkasy]

There is no doubt what so ever hes faking it, there is no injury in the medical lexicon that starts and last for a transfer window except it should be added for football players.

[Aventus]

I reckon he was faking it in the summer, but it's too early to say if he's faking it now seeing as we're only on the second day of the month and he's missed a grand total of one game. He always misses a couple in January so I don't think this year is any different.

 

If he's not back by the time we play city then he's deffo faking it and I'll go and buy a Coutinho shirt just so I can burn it and post the video on Facebook, that'll teach him.

This is much more like it. 

 

Phony Phil, I'm calling him.

Meanwhile as reports of our small hero continue to blossom:

I feel like Cuntinho has a better ring to it.

[3 Stacks]

Maybe he's just a high profile player with a turbo cunt of an agent.

 

Most of these players haven't got a fucking clue what's going on. They just have someone a bit more intelligent than them with all the scruples of a Tory cabinet member whispering sweet nothings in their ear every day.

 

I have no doubt he'd like to play for Barcelona, but the idea that he is masterminding all these transfer shenanigans is a little fanciful.

 

You're deluded if you don't think players pull tactics to get what they want. Agents work for players not the other way around.
