Transfer Rumour Philippe Coutinho

[Thomasc]

Obviously not happening, but the only reason people wouldn't want him here isn't because of his ability; it's because of the absolute certainty that, after being great for Liverpool, he'd be muck for us.

Still only 28, but wages will be an issue. I'd say yes only if we got rid of the Icelandic Ghost this summer.

You mean our 3rd highest goal scorer and leading assist? Ok then.

Digne and James have more assists than Soggy.

No no no and no.

Digne and James have more assists than Soggy.

In terms of what he's contributed, he's stepped up this season imo

Just messaged a RS mate: "How do you feel about Phillipe Coutinho returning to Merseyside?"

To which he responded: "Mate I'd have him back in a heartbeat, great player".

"Sorry mate I should have clarified, he's coming to Everton".

He was shocked.

Are we becoming the home for ex-galacticos with a point to prove? Makes a change from top four youngsters who couldn't make it at the highest level...

I'd take PC all day.

You just know that at this precise moment in time some RS mutant will be making a ready to burn effigy for the day he signs.

Never happen due to the wages he's on, more importantly I don't think he'd ever come to us out of sheer embarrassment for leaving Liverpool to "win things" then Liverpool go on to win the CL and league in successive seasons why he's been shipped out on loan.

Bit of a tampon these days but he is absolutely quality let's not pretend otherwise.

Thats where Ancelotti factor comes in.

 

[degsy]

No no no and no.

Could be a dangerous acquisition... for those sat in the Gwladys St.

Wow. That just highlights how ineffective our midfield is.

If going on Prem only, Digne/James have more in fewer games played, and James has as many goals despite playing far fewer minutes and not being on penalties, which Sigurdsson has scored two.

Sigurdsson this season has done the bare minimum required from a player in his role, and arguably has done less than that. He's a ghost; a player who week in week out harms the way we play. Four goals and assists from open play in 30 games is abysmal.

Yet he’s still more use to us than Gomes.

Genuinely stumped on this. I dont know if it could be great or an expensive mistake. Clearly a cut above some of our plodders.

It’s a different class of player.
Just a bit of a gamble these moves.
Pros
Class act
Only 28
Winner
Great CV

Cons
On the back of a long term injury
Would a nice to Everton excite him?
