Philippe Coutinho

[poorscousertommy]

If he puts a transfer request in what are we to do?

Let him sulk for a season and then sell him.

This is pretty ****ing depressing. Miss out on our 2 biggest targets and lose our best player is something that could happen.

Suarez put in a transfer request in the summer before he had arguably the best season a Liverpool player has ever had.

Honestly, if we don't sell I think Phil will just get on with it.

I presume this is something we knew about hence the public statement?

We're in no position to be self-righteous (we unsettled VVD and Keita), but to throw a transfer request in the day before the season starts would be very poor from Coutinho.

He can't sulk too much or he'll risk his place in the Brazil team at the world cup.

That FSG makes sense now, they wanted to get tgeir statement out before news broke of Coutinhos transfer request.

[ntto]

Klopp must be devastated

[DeeTheDog]

He can't afford to sulk, it's a World Cup year and it is only recently he has become a regular starter at international level. With the new contract only signed in January we hold all the leverage.

Joyce confirming now.

Tough **** lad!!

Do what Liepzig and Southampton are doing.

Correct
The club has all the power here.
We need to make a stand and show we cannot be bullied
So Phil misses a couple games whilst he sulks and then gets back in the swing of things
Typical Barca unsettling players - hope they have a crap season, finish in la liga and get knocked out of champions league early!

[labourRed]

There it drops. Agree with Chris. No deal.

So much for amicable. Awful timing.

[Pablo]

Joyce confirming now.

Tough **** lad!!

Yep.

Until they are willing to offer anywhere near what we want, which I honestly don't think they are, he's going nowhere.

If they persist with these undervalued offers with loads of it as incentives, and payments spread out over several years there's no chance a deal will be done.

[Maxiedge]

Yep all the big sources are confirming it now. He's asked to leave
