Philippe Coutinho

£75 wouldn't buy Dembele as mad as that sounds.

Yep I think you could add Dembele to the list of players who if sold would break the transfer world record. £100m+ if he goes.

Reckon Coutinho's price is being set as to whatever Monaco are quoting for MBappe and that we would only sell if we could buy. I think that would imply that we would want cash up front as that's the only way we'd outbid the opposition (by offering the full price up front). Don't think MBappe would agree to com here though. I think it's all stuff and nonsense tbh.

True, but Keita is (apparently!) regarded as being an absolutely special case. I haven't seen anyone suggest there is another player like him on the planet. Which admittedly strikes me as a little unlikely, but still

£70m for an outside forward is insane. He'd need to be one of the best in the world at that price and he isn't starting in place of Mane or Salah

Ability wise he has a higher ceiling than both imo

Put it this way before the start of the window if you were offered the chance to sign Ousmane Dembele or Mohamed Salah most fans would have chosen Dembele hands down imo

Without a doubt.

I still think Salah represents far better value for money though.

I think he's better than both. If not now he soon will be.

He'll be ballon level in a few years IMO.

Also true.

Hence I would offer them a fee they would find it extremely difficult to turn down.

The best case scenario is for Coutinho to stay but I will be very worried (until the window slam shuts) if Neymar leaves Barca for the reported £196m.

Aye, he's one of a few players that would appease me if we sold Coutinho.

Bottom line is the greasy Brazilian WILL LEAVE,Just a matter of when!

Next summer after we done the PL and CL double.

[Gingawaria]

I think he's off - just a gut feeling.

[Roboklopp]

TOp Top Lurking there!!

WELCOME !

I think the best bit is that he has an avi! Was it lying there dormant & unused for years waiting for the right moment? Or did he add it especially for the post? Will we ever know?

[QUOTE=Shaggy;3388314]Tim Vickery saying Coutinho to Barca is inevitable if they sell Neymar to PSG. Quite speculative.

Not sure Barca would be prepared to spend big bucks that Liverpool want for Coutinho (133M) unless Neymar is sold.

If we did get that sort of money for him, Liverpool should go in for Gareth Bale.I would be pretty happy with that outcome.

I think Liverpool should not wait to sell next year if they can get 133M now because I dont think prices will be so inflated next season, even with the World Cup.
Any sale of Coutihno should however be subject to a suitable replacement being available and organised.

Couts = 100M + Saurez .... would you?

Yes 100%. Spend the £100m on Keita and Mahrez.
