Transfer Rumour Philippe Coutinho

Cannot see this being true. Huge wages, getting towards 30 therefore no resale value, ex RS. I’d have to start questioning Brands because he should be trying to find the next one, not the one who’s on the way down in their career.
I know we all love the guy, but I'd suspect if there was any truth to this whatsoever, that it would be Carlo doing the pushing. He loves a seasoned pro.
 
*dons FM hat

Sell :

Kean 40m
Mina 20m
Delph 25p
Bernie 10m

Buy :

Coutinho 35m
Striker Loan
Aarons 30m
Midfielder Loan
Winger 30m

Easy peasy
Make it even easier. Brands is going to get Donnarumma and Depay on free's, and then we just need one loan and we can buy all of the players. Its basically a done deal at this point.
 
Always saw him as a one trick pony myself
because he is although very good at it, He would cut it on his right and just smash one into the top corner, I don't remember him doing much else myself apart from freekicks maybe and making Matty Pennington stain his sheets.
swerve him anyway.
 

Yes, keep the 1 thats injured less and has outperformed the other by a considerable amount.
Do you mean the one that dooms us never to play in the opposition's half and not be caught on the counter by literally every other team in the division.
 
There again wouid be a real lack
Of pace, in that line up. The 3rd midfielder wouid have to be a great player.

And that team wouid have to be brilliant defensively, to challenge for a top 4 place, because you couldn’t see it scoring loads of goals.
This team isn't ever going to score loads of goals though, and this formation is the one Carlo used at Milan so i would tend to trust him with it tbh.
 

I don't think you'd need a third CM in there - I think you'd need a rapid/dynamic wide player.

So you'd have an anchor of Doucoure/Allan (and we'd need another as Gbamin isn't happening), with a three of James-Coutinho-Richarlison and DCL up front.

So we'd need a midfield cover option in the mould of Gana, a winger like Saint-Maximin, a striker because King isn't happening and a right back like Aarons in the summer, in addition to Coutinho. Can't see all that happening.
The midfield in this system is about recycling the ball and getting it back upfront asap though. I don't think we need a wide player tbh as we don't really play with wingers anyway and Richarlison is not a winger so if you bring in a really good RW then we will need to bring in a good LW to balance the team out as Richy ain't no winger. This is the system that got Carlo his success. The reason i prefer this system is Allan and Doucoure are not good enough in a 2 imo and most teams play with a 3 so we will just keep getting walked through all the time with a 2. Also are best football was at the start of the season when playing 4-3-3 and this is just a variation of it. If we sign Saint Maximim i'm never watching again tbh, i could'nt think of a worse signing, i know people don't like stats but his are not awful they are just rotten, people just blinded by a few stepovers also his injury record is dreadful.
 
The only link I've seen people reference is to that rag. Can't imagine them having a source close to either us or Barca.
Totally agree, it's the classic newspaper transfer generator, link player that everyone knows will move to club with rebuilding project, chuck in nonsensical insider guff and you're done.
