Looks to me like we’ve received most of the money bar £4.5 million, but Barca took out a loan to buy him and they still owe £84 million of that to whoever they borrowed it off.

Terribly written though.

 

This. 

 

And yes, I’d expect a better written piece from my 7 year old niece.

I’m assuming, Barca borrowed the majority of the money from a third party lender who have paid us. 

 

Barca still owe a massive chunk of the Coutinho fee but to the third party lender and not us. 

Fools never differ!

Yeah, that was my take on things. Like we have all said, poor Journalism where they use a headline to sensationalise a story.

Seems dodge. Do they allow third party ownerships in La Liga then? cc @Jairzinho

Ah this makes sense.

‘Lender’, it’s a loan not third party ownership.

Yeah, I read it again and it made more sense i.e. has very little to do with us.

We broke them and left them broke.

Why is this cunt still being talked about. When he played against us last after being stuffed 4-0 he left the field with his hair perfectly intact. 

Just like the cunt no fucks given. 

[sir roger]

I read that on the Mirror website this morning and ended up with my eyes like the snake in The Jungle Book.

They unsettled Coutinho to get us to sell him, and they did the same with Atletico and Griezmann. When Coutinho failed to meet their lofty expectations, they immediately wanted to flog him to the highest bidder and ended up loaning him to Bayern. Griezmann hasn't pulled up any trees yet either, and the various Barca mouthpieces are already whispering about throwing him into a part-ex deal for Neymar. They are poison as a club.

[aRdja]

He’s not starting tonight either.

Rummenigge has suggested a salary cap. Bayern cannot very well be seen to be buying someone like Coutinho (even if they could afford it). It also makes it unlikely they could financially rival an offer for Werner.

Which is why beating them was so enjoyable after giving them s 3 goal head start.

Do one of those Italian type loan offers where we pretend to buy him in 2022 but in reality we use him to bolster the squad until we buy Timo next summer.

He must be absolutely sick.  He had it all here.  The club were going places and he was our best player at the time.  What a complete mess of a decision it was to go there.

[LFC 6 Times]

A real fall from grace, really compounded by our growth into the best team on the planet. An absolutely splendid player to watch. Was still the top man here, and said fuck it. Bet he regrets it.

[Duff Man]

I'd still take him on loan/at a cut price.

The shit we've won and are about too. We're the ultimate fat ex getting into shape and looking hot as fuck.

Unless he goes to Utd I hope he doesn't get booed when he comes back here with whoever. Even Chelsea.

He's not worth booing.

[The Guest]

All the shenanigans he was pulling to force the move as well.  He must feel pretty embarrassed about all that now.  He’s got to take responsibility for his own actions but I bet you he was getting a lot of pressure from his friends and family about moving there.  They must feel pretty shifty about it too.

 

Klopp is not just the greatest manager he will ever meet he’s clearly the nicest man in the business as well and is clearly loved by all the players around him.  He will have had Coutinho feeling the top of the world and you can imagine the sort of inspirational stuff he will have been saying to him to convince him to stay.  He still decided to leave and acted a complete cunt about it.  As nice as Klopp is he’s no fool either.  He won’t let a rat like that back on the ship.  Fuck him.

100% unless we actually try and replace him.

I remember him scoring very early on against Southampton, I was watching in a pub down here  I'd just got in and ordering me pint and thought has that gone in? One of them, off the underside of the bar, a cracker so I can't forget that and other moments. 

I doubt he'll be the last to depart as he did and I can't really have grudges against any player as its not important, well maybe one or two players, saying that though LF.C have risen to the top again so I doubt how anyone would think the grass is greener right now, but if it was me playing for Liverpool it wouldn't get any better even if we in Division 2,

I went to that game with a few of the lads off here. 3 rows from the front, it was pissing down and you couldn't see the goal. I ended up two rows ahead on the floor. I think Sterling sealed it near the end and I remember a fella running on and getting tackled by a steward. Then saw this in the paper the next day
