I am probably the definition of a plastic. Starts to support a club out of the random act that a manager i want to see redeem himself goes there.
And to think if Emery had waited a couple of weeks he'd have the Barça job...

Coutinho is still quite good at football... who knew? Elite in his last 18 months at Liverpool, good in his first 6 months at Barca and one of the best players at the 2018 WC. One bad season at Barca and an injury-hit season at Bayern (still had a big impact when he played) had people wanting us to sign Buendia rather than a 2 year loan for Coutinho or whatever
I said Buendia is more suited to play intern CM in 433 than Coutinho. Because he is much better defensively. Yes he is a better player in some aspects that Coutinho. And a better midfielder for 433. Coutinho is not a midfielder in 433. He can't do what Silva does neither he can defend.Buendia is a long-term solution, Coutinho is a short-term one. I don't think anyone suggests that Buendia is the better player of the two at this point in time.

Coutinho Is More a striker, in 433 he would be better as LW/Left striker. In 4321 he could play LW or CAM. But not in 433 because that requires a much much sacrifice without the ball. 433 is the most physical demanding formation for midfielders.
Fair. I do believe he is top quality, which we sorely lack. His wages don't bother me personnally. A window of Coutinho, and (fingers crossed) Partey takes us up levels, with Willian being a good rotational/mentor veteran addition in my opinion.There is better players than Coutinho with less wages. If he willing to take paycut and come here he welcome
It definitely seems like this is true with all the links at the moment which seem pretty genuine.Fair. I do believe he is top quality, which we sorely lack. His wages don't bother me personnally.

If it's true the club is looking for an additional 2/3 additions, I'm getting excited. We're showing top 4 ambitions, with views of potentially challenging a year or two down the line.
That said, when it comes to Arsenal, it's always the hope that kills you.
But apparently, he's not good enough for usCoutinho: 2 goals, 1 assist - 17 minutes.
Özil: 1 goal, 2 assists - 18 games
