What he's won is irrelevant. His record speaks for itself.

 

41 goals in 97 games for Saint Etienne

141 goals in 213 games for Dortmund

41 goals in 65 games for Arsenal

You sign top players to win stuff. They'll have bought him at 28 for 50m and they'll eventually lose him for far less or nothing having in all probability won fuck all. You said it was madness other teams let Arsenal have him. If Arsenal were world beaters that would be the case, except they're not, far from it.

Felt for them Echo writers this summer, mind.

 

They’ve rehashed the exact same story about signings hundreds of times now, including shite like “How Liverpool have scared the rest of Europe into buying players”.

 

Filling 5 or 6 articles a day with tales of Dutch children and a man-bun on legs in a pair of Spliffy jeans.

Mancs have caved in to Leicester's demands and are paying 80 million for Maguire. Hahaha. About 40 million more than he is actually worth.

Barcelona have received a “secret” Coutinho bid.  You aren’t kidding anyone.  Clearly trying to flush Liverpool out.  If they’d received a bid from someone they’d be all over the newspapers telling you the exact details trying to start a bidding war.  I think it’s actually a good sign.  If we want him we will get him and relatively cheaply.

If we do go for him, it should be something like a 2-year loan with (non-obligatory) option to buy. Barcelona cover a significant portion of his wages, and we get the player's prime years knowing we don't have to pay a bean once he's past them.

Have they even paid us all his fee yet?

I can see Barca fully agreeing to those terms.

More realistic will be a year long loan with us paying the full wage. Plus option to buy obviously, would be about 80 mil

Highest paid goalkeeper in the world in nets.

Most expensive defender in the world in  front of him.

Most expensive midfielder in the league in front if him.

Most expensive striker in the league (until he's dumped) in front of him.

 

Yet they're shite.

I think there was one more realistic instalment to do with making another 25 appearances where we would get another 4.5m.

 

If I’m remembering correctly it was 106m initial fee which has to be paid.  Of the 36m add ons it was 4.5m for every 25 appearances and 4.5m per season for qualifying for the CL for 2 years and similar for winning it.  So really we will only have missed out on 13.5m if he moves on this summer.

 

Personally I’d offer them 65m and tell Coutinho to tell them he’s not going anywhere else.  If he really wants back here he’s going to have to act the cunt with them as much as he did with us.
