    Normally we rely on our ex-players or ambassadors of the club. Barca players have been mouthing off about Coutinho for ages though.

      Well we should 'do a Southampton' and report them as soon as they overstep the mark.
      The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

        Last time we made CL we lost our best player in the summer, I just pray that doesn't happen again. With the team we are building, next season could be one that lives long in the memory, but Coutinho is central to that.

            If it meant getting Keita, VVD and Aubameyang, would you sell Coutinho?

                No, we know what we get with coutinho. The other three are great players or players with huge potential but still they constitute more of a risk.

                Phil hasn't even peaked yet and is already world class. It's genuinely possible he becomes the best player in the world one day.

                  The issue to consider for me isn't how good he is now or will be, its how successful the team is. Those 3 would make us genuine title contenders

                  What about a straight swap for Suarez?

                      If we signed VVD, Keita and kept Coutinho I would hope we would be genuine title contenders.

                      Suarez is world class so if we swapped Coutinho for Suarez and signed VVD and Keita we would be in a similar position.

                      But a swap for Suarez is never going to happen, Barcelona are looking to replace Neymar, they aren't going to swap another one of their first choice front 3 to bring in his replacement.

                          Possibly, but we won't get those all over the line irrespective of how much cash we have to spend.

                            Assuming they were all a success you'd be daft not to.

                            And I've always been nuts about Phil.

                              I like Coutinho but he is often inconsistent, he has never had a good full season. No where near the same bracket as Suarez or others. Now whether that is due to England, Injuries youth etc i dont know, but, at 25 i can think of players who have done it more consistently than him.

                              Whilst i don't think there are many players out there who we can realistically buy to better him i don't think he is world class. Potential to be yes but not at the moment. He is improving every season and I firmly believe he has his best years right in front of him, now is the wrong time to let him go as whoever has him is about to inherit someone hitting their peak.

                                Suarez came to us around the same age Coutinho is now. There were a few fans that criticised his finishing in his first season with us.

                                I think the above should give you an impression of the trajectories of thier careers, with the caveat that players progress at different rates. Still we'd be mad to sell him. He's approaching world class FFS.
