Transfer Rumour Philippe Coutinho

Suppose one way of looking at it is Bernard or Coutinho. I know who most would pick. But 40m for a 29 year old who's not really been in form, I dunno. Be far happier if that was around 25-30m.
We all thought we paid 25mil for james Rodriguez, turned out it was a free yeah big wages but still good deal. If we can get a good deal then I’m in, but I still have doubts especially with us having older players in the team.
 
Coutinho was a 1 in 7 player in a Liverpool side containing Sterling, Suarez, Gerrard and a Sturbridge that sold his soul to the devil himself to be Ronaldo 9 for a season. He would show up miles less than that for us. In that 1 in 7 game he would score an absolute worldie which looked good on MotD meaning the UK media and our questionable pundits went mad for him. No PL fanbase other than Liverpool’s thought he was anywhere near as good as he was made out to be.

He is the absolute worst signing pound for pound in footballing history and a big play in Barcelona’s downfall. Let’s not forget that Liverpool also became exponentially better without him. He’s bad juju and we won’t be signing him thank the lord.

“Yeah but he’s better than what we have” he has no hunger after already having his big moves, he would cost a stupid amount on wages that we could spend looking for, signing and playing someone younger and better and he’d look to play on the wings which would actually make us slower than we already are.
 

Good player, would be way better than any of our other attacking mid options (outside of James obviously) but we should be focussing on a top box to box midfielder who breaks up the play and carries the ball forward, a right back and a finisher imo
Get them in and a player like this and I’m in but I’m not sure we have the money for that!
 
Probably just one of the many dozens of rumours without foundation but then we probably thought the same about Allan and JR.

Coutinho would of course add something very different to our squad.

I would guess there are managers all over Europe who would love to sign him but the overall cost of the deal could be prohibitive.
 
Think it would be a good move.
Great from 20 odd yards no doubt
We sure need a some new faces if we make Europe

He looked really good when playing for Liverpool but could repeat that at Barcelona. Players can look better than they are when the team they are in is playing well and being successful. We don't need to throw another 30 million plus a huge wage on a player that looked really good 2 or three years ago in the hope he can regain that level of performance. We've collected too many players over the last few seasons that have been next to impossible to off load.
 

Really don't want this one to happen. I guess if it does it will be Carlos signing of the window and Brands will do the others and include some gems.
