Coutinho gone. 142m

How could it be club first when you’re so obviously putting player first?
It's not, I'm just stating that it's obvious. However, as I don't see us getting anywhere despite him staying, what's the point? Let him leave and win shit.

Okay, are we better with Coutinho in the squad? Yes? Then advocating him in leaving to ‘win shit’ is not putting the club first. Hope you understand.

All I'm saying is despite what's best for the team, I don't believe we're going to win anything this season. Coutinho will still leave in the summer. Mind as well get the money now and start adjusting to life after Coutinho.

How about we qualify for next year's CL before we sell up on one of our best players?
 
And now we are linked to Jonny Evans. You will like that eh Doc? If you dont sure dont worry, i am sure you will still have the usual bells on this site browning you.
 
Just don't see it happening, sorry.
Whether it happens or not only time will tell. But considering we are equal points with spurs in 4th and 4 points behind Chelsea who are 3rd would you REALLY say it's in Liverpool's best interest to sell coutinho?

Never said that's its in our best interest. Of course it's not. My reasons are stupid, but I just hate seeing that guy score a hattrick and not be happy about it. So yeah I'm thinking about the player. If the money's good, sell him and be done with it.
I don't see Klopp strengthening the team during the winter so how are we going to improve?
If the first thing Klopp does in January is sign a defender and a DM, I'm all for keeping Coutinho until the summer. But we are being linked with Kovacic. The fuck is he going to do to help us defensively?
Like I said, I don't see us getting fourth this season. Also, it's not like our schedule is getting any easier after Christmas.
 
Definitely don't sell in January unless he does a mascherano. It wouldn't surprise me if does try a similar stunt.

Not in a WC year he won’t and not mid season.

In an ideal world I’d like us to try keep Coutinho but it’s so so obvious he doesn’t want to be here so what can you do.

I have some sympathy with the argument Modo is making - keeping a bird caged and all that - but just can’t get on board with letting him go in Jan. That is madness.

Agreed. Just think he will throw a strop early to rattle the cage. If he came out with the statements about Barca earlier in the summer, I reckon we would have caved into his demands. The statements came so late that we had no time for an adequate replacement and the market was growing crazy. You only hope the lessons have been learnt, just in case....
 
I don't think we'll sell him in January, but I didn't think he would be a cunt in the Summer, yet he tried to be.

What's with the attitude of "sell him now coz we'll win fuck all anyway"? There's everything to play for (bar the league cup). We're in the CL and FA Cup, we're doing fairly well in the league and need to get back in the CL. Selling him now does what to the team? I'd imagine it'd have a negative knock-on effect on confidence and desire to play for the club, which is worrying going into a Summer with him already sold. Who says Salah and Mane then won't think, "what am I doing here?". It seems like typically detached, seller club mentality to me, to be thinking that way. And it's dangerous to us.

It's like this idea that we kept him in the Summer and it was a bonus, we then already resign ourselves to the fact that he's gone next time around. That's the shit cycle that this club is stuck in and it's starting to infect the fans too. "Oh he stayed, he's given us a year so he deserves to be allowed to go now and win stuff".

I get that we have to get the best deal for the club, but we stood our ground once, I don't see why we can't again.
 
Bringing back hardcastles point from earlier...

Semi finals (well, some) and big league games he performs in

Against the dross (in a title challenging run) and finals he was shite

He's inconsistent.

I'm up for selling him in the summer when we've got keita coming

Getting called a bell by you, I'll take as a compliment.Now is not the time to sell,we're still in the CL and we'll need the whole fab 4 to get to the end of the season unfucked.And fuck Barca by the way and all who see their demands as 'irresistable'.

Yeah let's sell coutinho lol.
 
He's my favourite player and just like Suarez I really don't want to see him in tears just because he's surrounded by average to crap players. I want him to go and win something.
Of course, the club comes first and we'd be severely decimated if he leaves.
How do you reconcile "Of course, the club comes first ...." with "let him go and win the league (La Liga) ? Which basically means fuck Liverpool (and our ambitions and need for squad depth) and let him have his glory ?

That's merely your belief. Not a fact. I'm sure many thought that on the way to Istanbul too.
 
I find it hard to fathom if a Liverpool supporter at this stage would write us off in any of the cup competitions as we have so magnificently proved that on our day, with this current lot, we could tear any opponent apart. Even City would struggle no end if our fab four showed up.

As always, we obv won't win the league until next Season, but anything else is well up for grabs still.
 
I'm enjoying watching us this season. Yes - there are games with huge inevitability about them but I will always try and tune in because there is every chance we will play glorious football and play the opposition off the park.

I can't see Coutinho going in Jan, and agree with the points that we are still competing on a number of fronts. The league is exciting - ignore City flying at the top, but we could finish anywhere from 2nd to 8th.
