"It's complicated"? -- No it isn't, fuck off Barca - £113 Million bid rejected

[Skullflower]

This is true, especially the bit about making ends meat. My teen years working in a sausage factory are probably what made me the man I am.

I have noticed that you always seem to fear the wurst.

 

[Woland]

I blame Salah me.

Growing up is a chore I soooo don't miss it.

Thats why i gave it up when i was 12

To be fair, I'm 47 and I feel like crying when shit doesn't go my way sometimes.

Live to make sausages, or die a brat.

Guys, you've got to remember that lots of footballers are mentally still kids. Coutinho's job is to play football for tens of thousands of pounds a week, he's never had to face any of the real challenges that turns you into a man that you face between the age of 16 and 21, no hard decisions about careers, no grafting through a shit job to make ends meat, no struggling to pay for a house, or to live, no disappointments at all to be honest, he's had it as easy as easy is. This is probably the first real disappointment of his life, and he's handling it like a 16 year old would, it's a bit embarrassing but kinda expected to be honest.

That post is not baloney, but the fact Coutinho's got two kids should at the very least have made him cherish the real values in life..

So unless his family is unsettled in Liverpool he should've been acting far more mature in all of this, if not for himself and the club that pays him, then at the very least for his fam and kids.

Judging by that Rio Ferdinand documentary, having kids when you're a rich footballer doesn't particularly ground you. Don't know if you saw it but basically Ferdinand admitted he had no idea how to use the fucking washing machine in his own house, so completely removed from the reality of raising a family he actually was until his wife died. I wouldn't be shocked if Coutinho was the same. The missus deals with all that etc.

Huh - I read about that doco. Worth a watch?

Yep, added to that i'm pretty sure Coutinho's extended family live with him, and I think it's safe to say his wife doesn't work. The guy has that all taken care for him, kinda jealous to be honest.

I guess. It sort of showed how completely divorced from reality footballers are. Plus also the overwhelming effect grief has.

Sounds like a downer but at least it's real. I'll check it out. Thanks.

You have to wonder would they sell him next summer if a massive offer was made. He has peaked and his value will start dropping as he gets further into his 30s. On the other hand he's got them by the balls now that Neymar has left he's the only superstar they have got and it would be a huge blow to their image to lose him.

I'd swap half our team for their non-superstar Suarez to play for us.

He is free to start negotiating with other teams in January. If he decides to leave, there is nothing Barcelona can do.

 

[Hyena]

Everyone's thinking it but I'll say it.

Let's tap him up for the heck of it.

 

[keniget]

Can we be his Napoli of sorts?

City is most likely destination if he leaves Barca though.

I'd leave the country if I was Bartomeu and that happened.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

City will get Messi.

Manure will get Ronaldo.

We'll get Suarez

Frank-ly I couldn't be bothered

   That €160m bid we all heard about? Barcelona never made a bid of more than €95m with stupid “Win Golden Ball” bonuses and similar.

   All that talk of talking to FSG directly, making multiple bids that never even reached anything close to what Liverpool would even consider.

   Barcelona knew Liverpool wouldn’t sell Coutinho from the start, they used the press to pretend they were trying. Theatrics, all of it.

Gotta do something to pass international week with Ireland blowing their chances of qualification.

You probably had less drama than our national team ... our best player & captain was booed the whole game against Macedonia, lost it, threw his armband on the pitch and was banned for a year ... and has retired from int'l football.

Ha I wish Whealen would do that the useles prick.

Why was he booed?

Who was that mate?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

Why was he booed?

Game was in Haifa, and their fans hate him because he was so good for a few years here and won leagues for Macabbi Tel Aviv ...
I've stopped watching the national team though - the managers are utter shit, which doesn't help make the most of our players, who are poor and unprofessional in general. It's just not worth investing time in 'hoping' they could pull a miracle and qualify for a major tournament.

Who was that mate?

Eran Zahavi.
