Coutinho

Iniesta's replacement? Big big boots to fill, but he probably could with the right coaching and players around him.
 
Firmino probably his replacement. Would not surprise me if it was part of the new contract that we will let him go next summer and that is why he only got £80k a week.
 
Normally I would be very cynical, but Coutinho seems like one of the few that actually enjoys playing for Liverpool.

Granted I can't blame him for wanting to leave.
 
For what its worth , ive never rated him as much as some of you do.

I dont think hes good enough to start for them at present either.

Id be far less bothered by him leaving than i was Raheem and Sterling.

Losing Coutinho is pretty depressing to think about either way
 
Got the article?

Neymar and Coutinho go way back so there might not be anything of real substance behind this, just someone talking up his mate.

I don't see where Coutinho would fit in at Barca at the moment anyways. They've got Rafinha who they really seem to like and Turan who they've just spunked 40M Euros on.

Rafinha is out injured and probably won't be back until next season. Turan play in a different position. He is the Pedro replacement.
 
Meh. I don't care any more. We're not going anywhere with or without him, so might as well sell him. At least he doesn't have to stay with this current shower of shite in that scenario. He should be playing in a better team.

I don't think he's good enough for Barca yet, though.
 
Barca are always at tapping up players like this. Even Iniesta was at it just before they made a move for Alex Song.

"I know Song from seeing him play, and from playing against him," said Iniesta. "Technically he is a very good player and is also very strong physically too.
"If he comes it would be because he has the qualities to play here, there is little doubt about that, and we'd welcome him."

Hopefully Keni is correct about it being a coincidence as Neymar and Coutinho go way back to their Brazil days. I would not be surprised to see Coutinho leave in the next year or two though.

Oh yeah, forgot about him going off the other week. Is he out for the season then? Shame for him.

Turan can play out wide but I don't really see him as Pedro's replacement per se. Pedro's main strength was pace and ability to make runs in behind. That's very different to what Turan offers...

This.
 
IMO he plays in the wrong position. He should play as the playmaker in central midfield. He doesn't get the ball often enough as the attacking midfielder. We need someone in central midfield that can control the play.
 
Means nothing though. They've been playing together since they were kids.
If we continue to be shite he'll be off regardless
 
If it happens, I hope it is not a long drawn out saga. And since we are going to waste the money anyway, dont care about the transfer fee also. Give them Sturridge too in fact. Get Mahrez or Bolasie or whomever is playing well at Southampton in quickly.

I am mentally ready to accept LFC as a mid table club. It is the hope associated with a long drawn out gradual descent into mediocre status that kills.
