Philippe Coutinho

[labourRed]

Well, he's not wrong.

[danperkins]

Yep He is absolutely spot on. Without signings this current side will do nothing...its just too short in quality and the balance in midfield and at the back is all wrong. That is not even getting into how injury prone alot of our players are.

[Leyton388]

It's just going to be another wasted year. This team isn't going to do anything. After the feel-good factor around the club in May it really has gone downhill fast.

[danperkins]

It's just incredibly frustrating the opportunity we have to push on this year and in this current moment it really does feel like we are way short.

[Liverpool]

I'm gutted/frustrated like everyone else but the devil's advocate in my head for my own sanity.. champions league football back at anfield in the new improved stadium, genuine class manager and some cracking attacking football.

Missed opportunities and lack of ambition aplenty, failing to kick on but still we have it better than most other fans.

If we had signed Keita who we all have watched 2 minutes of, and VVD whos had a 6 month lay off, we'd all be bouncing off the walls, fine margins

Who the hell do you think you are being so positive?

Don't forget the new club shop with its fan activation space. Reason enough to be optimistic for the future.

Here speaketh the holy whinetry

[Leyton388]

We'll see who's moaning when the window close's and the same excuses start coming out. If your happy with Moreno still being here actually getting game time then fair enough.

Looks like Dembele is really acting up

There is way Barca can afford both for the amount of money the selling clubs would want

[The_weatherman]

Dembele is ensuring he will be first on board, meaning Phil will be left to rot here. ****house tactics really, the first one of you to get a transfer through will get the move.

No they cant afford both. But it isnt stopping them ****ing two clubs season preparations over! Shocking behaviour... they cant have both but have unsettled them both and their squads.

They need slapping with a fine... surely telling all the media outlets you want a player and that you are going to open talks is tantamount to tapping up?

[Daffy Duck]

Don't think it is... Officially they haven't really done anything besides put in a few bids and comments in the media. The rest was up to Dembele and Coutinho, there's no proof of what Barca might have told them to do. There's no photos of them taking the players to a funpark in Blackpool at least.

Thats what I mean. Releasing info to the press that you want a player is just the same as phoning him up and telling him you want him. It very underhanded and a tactic that Barca use repeatedly.
