Philippe Coutinho Post-LFC

[dom9]

Lovely farewell letter, all understood and all is forgiven. YNWA Phil, all the very best (except against the mighty reds)

Meh.

There's nothing in there which justifies leaving the club in the lurch in January.

Another 3 months wouldn't have killed him.

Absolutely no I’ll feeling towards phil or anyone else, what a player he was for us, seems genuinely a great bloke too. This move is a dream come true for him and I’m happy for him and his family. Thank you Phil.

Nothing in life is guaranteed and that includes the chance to join in the summer.

Also, once you've mentally checked out, it's hard to be at your best.

Professionalism at its finest.

Totally unacceptable for someone in their mid twenties...

[S-RED]

3 months isn't long, but potentially he would as always have been one **** tackle away from a long lay off; so i get why he wanted it to happen sooner rather than later

Jesus, you're in an argumentative mood today.

Just bantz innit, I thought this style of engagement resonated with you!

Sure I read somewhere about a potential transfer ban for Barca on the horizon (might have dreamt it up!) if so that would certainly have hurried them up to get the deal done.

Anyway, regardless he’s gone now, hope he does well at Barca as long as it’s not at our detriment

In fairness Barcelona did seem to lay the now or never card quite strongly and Iniesta is very much at the end of his career IMO.

It's waaaay too early in the morning for bantz.

It's bloody evening! Kids these days, just because you lig in bed all day doesn't mean it's still morning!

[gratziani]

Now the dust has settled on this move , anyone feel we got a good deal for Phil

Reading all the **** now , no way was he going to stay once they came calling

[dww]

It happened at a time when we have a decent squad capable of doing well without him. We got a lot of cash. It went about as well as it could have done for us I think.
