Coutinho only works on a subsidised loan. Otherwise, strategically it would be a bad signing

Get These Hands
Off of my purse !
No more of these big name signings from big clubs that don't want them.
Buy players based on the system we want to play. There needs to be a clear vision.

I'd imagine Coutinho would be intrinsically motivated to get back into the Brazil starting line up and become a go to guy again.
Özil dropped off after winning a world Cup and retiring from international football.
Country: Scotland
Player:Gabriel
Great player on his day but the position we're in don't think it would be sensible nor would the club be wanting to have this guys wages on the books whilst Özil is still here. That's £790k a week for a club who won't be playing Champions League football, madness.
What if he takes a pay cut like he did to remain at Bayern?

Barca have offered a Coutinho for Guendouzi swap according to footmercato.
Footmercato are not reliable there no decent link about us buying Coutinho it's just media talks for now.
Country: South Africa
Player:Nketiah
Even if this were true, I would still not go for it.
We need Guendouzi money to go back into this team.

The ****ing cheek of it if there is truth in that - we'd be swapping a kid with massive potential, who needs a change in attitude, on low wages, for a hype job on a massively inflated wage.
Really hope we stay away from Coutinho, but with Kia here calling the shots, I fear the worst.

The problem is the kid with massive potential having s**ty attitude and seem don't want to stay i don't want Coutinho but if we get him and Partey our midfield will go up levels.

If we get Partey it'll transform our midfield, yes, not convinced at all with Coutinho. He had ONE standout season at Liverpool, and even then was he really deserving of the hype? He's done nothing since, poor at Barca and average, at best, at Bayern, and not much on the international scene either. People suggesting he's the man to add the much needed creativity to our midfield or that he'll take our midfield up a huge level are fooling themselves. Personally I think we'll be wasting money signing him, there's far better out there.

Certainly creates mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I'd rate Guendouzi as a topclass talent that will most likely end up having a career at the top.
On the other hand, you'll find a kid that looks to be thrown out the door by Arteta already anyways and a straight swap for Coutinho would at least fix a desperate need in our squad.
One could argue that he's not what some might call "one for the future" anymore, but considering that we already have talented midfielders in abundance, with Willock, ESR, Azeez and possibly a young new signing by Arteta in his position, it will be hard to fit them all into a side anyways.
It's not like Coutinho is super old, he's just become 28 and is a topclass player. Think people are massively exaggerating - maybe you'd be looking too much as his worst, whilst I'd assume him to reach his old form of liverpool and at the world cup under Arteta.
Also, an intermediarey solution that isn't super expensive isn't the worst, since I believe in ESR and others which should not not be blocked entirely. Nice age in that regard with Coutinho, actually.

Yes don't believe anything you read unless if it's from reliable sources. Similar to Willian today he said he got no approach from any team.

Wasn't my post yesterday saying Coutinho is likely to end up with us from sport.es ?
Guess that's not a super bad source - at least there is smoke from various sources. Let's see..

Coutinho -
Premier league experience.
Shocking at Barcelona but most players in recent memory who have been transfered there have been poor.
Age? Like someone said hes only just turned 28. As a technically gifted midfielder he should have a lot more years in him at a top level.
Is he still a top class player? Yes, of course he is. Everyone knows he's talented.
In his loan time at bayern he racked up 8 goals and 6 assists in the Bundesliga in 15 starts and 1400 minutes.
Anyone turning their nose up at this player you need a serious wobble.

Wasn’t that only for a few weeks?

His stats were racked up against relegation trash in 6-0 trashings, he was otherwise poor and off the pace, according to the video I posted before.

I mean, nobody on here has so far said “I just seen Coutinho, he looks red hot, we must pick him up before our rivals do”.
say yes
forum master baiter
Time to lock this one?
