Coutinho gone. 142m

We're not selling him mid season though. If someone stumps up the cash this summer he'll be off, mind.
 
Except he wasn't. Just about everybody knew he was moving-- just to where was the question even if Man City did brief journalists that it was almost a done deal.
Everyone knew he was moving because out of nowhere he got dropped for 3 games in a row. It was still done quietly with us. No one knew a deal was about to be announced with us.
 
I've always considered Mahrez to be a winger. He's not an ideal replacement for Coutinho. He'd be competing with Salah, Mane and Ox.

He can play deeper. Personally I think he's plan B if we can't get Lemar, who definitely is more of a forward player.
 
Coutinho most regularly plays wide in a front 3. With Keita coming, if he was staying I'd say he'd be cemented there most of the time. Therefore Mahrez does represent a reasonable fit for what we're going to be missing with Coutinho.
 
Just looked at La Liga table...why the fuck do they want Coutinho for ? Their current sranding is so much better that anything in the past when comparing to Real. By losing Neymar they have made a more solid midfield. Idiots !!!

He most regularly plays behind the front three, thus the ‘fab 4’ moniker.
 
Stats!

But you will have seen him more than me and that's quite a good return. I'm just going on hearsay. Albeit trustworthy hearsay!
He is right, it's 19 goals and double digits in assists but it is the French league.
The way I'm thinking, if mahrez and Salah click there's going to be a lot more goals.
 
Despite both originating from North African countries, I doubt that Mahrez and Salah have a lot in common except maybe their religion. Mahrez was brought up in France, I don't think he even speaks Arabic, also Egyptians and other North Africans don't really get along.
Very different culturally.

I've been to Edgeware Road in London, they all get along fine.Give them some falafel, hummus and shisha and then watch the goals go in
 
Ok - so say he goes in Jan. Do we want to buy a replacement (even if it is someone to bolster the attack) in Jan or do we trust that we can continue on with an in form Ox and a returning from injury Lallana to take up some of his output?
 
Load of people tweeting that he's asked not to play for us again.
Zzzzzzz I don't believe that we didn't already come to an agreement with him last Summer. It would be illogical for us not to have.

Therefore they'd be no reason for him to down tools at any time.
