Philippe Coutinho

I need you as my life coach Chris.

In the current market £72m for Coutinho is an insult.

Absolutely. They can double that!

[BG1973]

Don't matter what we get, we wouldn't be able to spend it anyway.

Up our bids for the two Herbert's by 30 million each and I think we'd be able to spend it.

There have been suggestions that Iniesta could be sold, or not feature anywhere near as often this season. This may explain why they've bid for Coutinho now, as opposed to next summer.

So it seems they won't double the bid for Coutinho this summer and Iniesta will consider it loyal to help out for one more season. Even with the Neymar money I think Barca have some serious debts to pay (mainly the front three's salaries, idiots).

We hold all the cards on this one, even regards to Coutinho not being a cnut.

I'm wondering if Neymar is actually leaving Barcelona for Psg and Barca are trying their get Couthino on the cheap

I believe the correct phrase is "our heads would fall off"

[Gray]

In this "inflated market" where Eddie Punchclocks are going for £30m surely Phil should be a £150m player right?

Mate your heads fallen off.

Mate your heads fallen off.

Ban this man!!

I would absolutely love to see iniesta playing for Liverpool, even if only for a season or two.

[Bender]

So while Liverpool have rebuffed a £72 million bid from Barcelona for Coutinho - it is far from the end of the matter.Barcelona will push and their starting point of €80m will go higher. It will be interesting to see whether Coutinho does too.

Liverpool had anticipated Barcelona coming at some point, but were preparing to draw battle next summer rather than this. (Paul Joyce)

The hunter becomes the hunted.

Don't know why but that made me lol

[ronanm]

72m is derisory but if Coutinho wants to go it won't be much more than that.

Don't know why but that made me lol

me too I imagined it in a Scottish accent aswell.
