Philippe Coutinho

[EwarWoo]

I know it's very early days and I'm not usually one to panic , but if he carries on his early form for us then it won't be long before he's linked with a move away too.

On the other hand if he keeps this up it's another reason for Suarez to stay.

Coutinho and Sturridge. Another window like that and we'll be laughing. And that was just a January window.

Very true. Very true.

My thoughts:

Daniel Sturridge, time to be the man.

Philippe Coutinho moves into the hole.

I love it when a plan comes together. Coutinho was fantastic. He is our future. Time to get this team into Europe and back where we belong.

Me and a group of mates rocked up to a futsal tournament in Amsterdam several years ago thinking it was just indoor 5-a-side footy.

We got annihilated.

World Class display on Saturday - good to see him giving some out too...

[baitman]

quite a few times the newcastle players clattered into him - he just takes the challenge, keeps the possession and carries on.

still early days, but if he coutinho's like this what a signing

very reminiscent of the ex middlesbrough player Juninho, who wiki says is his cousin. little guy who can 'ride a challenge' to protect himself from some grunting challenges.
this guy will be world class

I loved Juninho and always wished we signed him from Boro. Proper little player! Clearly runs in the family.

The Soul Glo look gone

[Cormack74]

Blimey looks more like Suso.

[Tee]

Looking more and more like Neymar....

[barnes10]

dunno. i think soul glo inspires an element of 70s magic. which we could do with again. also, its a scouse wig isnt it. all the players should be wearing it

[Chris]

Holy ****. 20 years old!

[Tee]

We got a live one here!!!!
