Wonder what club he's trying to get transfered to this time?

[Assassin]

Seeing this smiling toad all over the internet is really gripping my ****. I hope all of the pearly white caps in his head rot and fall out

[Snigger]

Barca confirm Coutinho thigh injury and expect him to be out for two to three weeks

He hasnt put in a transfer request with Barca all ready has he ?

[RedReet]

Now the wee ****er is screwing us out of those £4.4m instalments.

The only logical conclusion.

[-V-]

He's no Luis suarez

[Alex]

So we have actually only lost him for Feb, March, April and May if he is out for the next 3 weeks or so

Good business LFC

[Maxiedge]

Is he going to have to do those keepy-uppies like a trained seal at the presentation?

[Helios Creed]

Why are you thanking Rafa?

He sold him to us at a bargain price did't he? Still looking after our interests even after he had left..

No, Rafa were there in 2010 we got Coutinho in 2013 - but someone had the
correct answer for you a bit earlier

[Buzzo]

Barca have been asked whey they initially said they wanted no bidding war but then shelled out £142m to Liverpool for Coutinho.

Mestre said: "There was an important reduction in the cost of this transfer. We can't go into number."

Wonder what this means?

[McDermotX]

Nike and himself ponying up some of the cash ?

[baitman]

Wonder what this means?

probably the smaller initial fee and the rest at 50p a week.

Nike and himself ponying up some of the cash ?

Nike given the ad were obviously involved. The stories subsequently confirm that. I don't think Coutinho paid any money himself rather he forgone some sponsorship money over the course of the contract. About 15m IIRC.

I think we squeezed Barca for the absolute maximum. If they go any buy some other ****er for 80m later this month I'll reconsider but I'd doubt that'll happen.

[Darkon]

Wasn't it reported at some point that Coutinho chose to pay a substantial fee himself, which could mean the outstanding on his contract and maybe wage reduction?
