Hmm. Im shocked to be honest.

I kinda dislike Coutinho now. He's just ruined any affinity he had with the fans unfortunately.

Yeah. It's Fernando all over again. Hand in the request after its almost become too late for adequate replacements.

On another note. **** Barca. Their reaction to PSG doing to them what they do to everyone else is priceless.

You want to replace Neymar? Pull someone off the bench or the second team campaigners

Feel like people here are being too soft on Coutinho. It doesn't matter if he plays well this season now, at the end of the day he submitted a transfer request the day before our opening game - he has tried to screw us. Completely dead to me, no matter how the season now pans out

 

[The Offerman]

We should play Coutinho in CL playoff just to piss off Barcelona.

Won't cup tie him.

 

[ADL9798]

Of real concern for me is that if the club can't convince Coutinho to accept their decision in the next week, then we'll have to qualify for the CL group stages without him, as he'll want to avoid being cup tied. I'd imagine this has probably been a driver in this coming to a head this week.

If we sell him we still wouldn't have him for the qualifiers, makes no difference. Complete dick thing to do by him but it's ill advised more than anything, nothing will change

**** this campaigner off, we have the cover up front. Spend the money on Keita and VvD and for mine the squad is better. Simple as that, no need for emotions, long term the club was coming from a dark place and we want a great squad and great kids in place for a dynasty, this 100m+ will help that.

 

[Zidane98]

I'm all for selling now just as long as we replace Coutinho this window. If we can't replace him he stays and gets sold after Russia 2018. Simple.

 

[Ratts of Tobruk]

It does seem out of character. He's always wanted to go to Spain, but the transfer request thing seems to be all about saving Barcelona money given the stupid amounts being spent. And it's at the cost of anyone liking him. Maybe we now have to think the bank injury isn't real and they've been fighting behind the scenes? Possibly he was promised big names coming in and with the trend from all clubs to not let their stars go, it just hasn't been possible. Obviously FSG would want to get in Keita and VVD, but they've been stopped by those clubs refusing to sell. Like we are refusing.

Latest bullshit from a "relative" is Cout and Klopp had a falling out over his role for the past 6 months...so that's what 3 weeks after signing on for 5 more years?

And didn't Suarez and Rodgers have that same falling out when Barca were involved?

It actually makes a bit of sense to get him to sign the new contract and then tell him afterwards that we want him in midfield. I would play him there. I think we were at our best under Rodgers with Philippe Coutinho Correia and Sterlo ghosting past panicked players in the middle of the park. But as many people are saying, Barca most likely want him to play in midfield too, so I don't really see this as being a reason for 'falling out'. He loves shooting from 25 yards.

It's a weird problem, but by having such a ridiculous forward line, they haven't kept any decent back-up. People like Pedro and Sanchez left. Instead Barca activated the buy-back clause they had on ol' mate Deulofeu.

150 mil and they have a deal, and only if we sign an adequate replacement

 

[Ratts of Tobruk]

If they're trying to keep some money for Dembele then we can make it 50M, plus Suarez. Phil is replaceable.

 

[Cooldude]

Season's gonna start today and the transfer window's been shit, we haven't fixed a few glaring problems in the team and Coutinho's threw the toys out. Not really acceptable but FSG has kinda made it the norm

 

[RossFC]

Under 4 hours until our first game of the season.

Expecting a side like this.

Mane-Firmino-Salah
Wijnaldum-Henderson-Can
Moreno-Lovren-Matip-Arnold
Mignolet

Subs: Karius, Klavan, Robertson, Grujic, Milner, Kent, Origi. (Solanke and Woodburn unlucky)

 

[FAITH]

When you state money state the currency.
IMO I'd take 130m pounds now.

 

[Cooldude]

I always speak in pounds

150 mil pounds, no questions asked, most of it upfront

We sign Keita and VVD, they give us Rakitic too in return. Solid deal

You're dreaming. He ain't worth that much.

Who gives a shit about worth? Worth means **** all, it's about what clubs are willing to pay for

Barca just got 200 mil from PSG, I don't give a shit what they think Coutinho's worth, pay the ****ing money we ask

If he sulks he won't be worth shite

 

[Milenko]

H

If he sulks he won't be worth shite

He can't afford to sulk in a World Cup year. We hold all the aces.

Barca got ultra aggressive after missing out on Verrati (their clear major target this summer), losing their marquee young superstar, then getting immediate pushback on all of their targets thereafter (Griezmann, Dembele, Coutinho). Sanchez would have been a logical Neymar replacement but they'd look ridiculous buying him back after selling him - plus new shirt sales wouldn't be as good as alternatives. The media spin machine and tapping up is next level compared anything they've done in the past.

tl;dr Barca are a bunch of carnts

 

[Ratts of Tobruk]

Can we hold off on the blaming FSG/Coutinho talk for a tick, so we can get excited about a new season and tonight's game?

3 hours away!

I like this team and our bench is just great:

Mane-Firmino-Salah
Wijnaldum-Henderson-Can
Moreno-Lovren-Matip-Arnold
Mignolet

But I reckon he might stick with Milner at LB, and I'd have Solanke on the bench after his pre-season. I also wouldn't mind if Solanke started and stood next to the goal mouth while Firmino and Sadi-Mo went nuts behind him. Can would drop out for me because his pre-season hasn't been great. But Emre, for all his inconsistency, can perform a playmaker role. He has set up some lovely goals in his time.

[Jars458]

He is going nowhere

 

[peternorth]

If phil goes he's nothing to me.

If he stays ill forget any of this happen and cheer him

 

[FAITH]

We will pump or get pumped tnit, no close game

 

[Cooldude]

Let's park the bus and cut teams up on the counter with Mane and Salah
