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

[LeTallecWiz]

If we win the league or Europe, Coutinho will stay.

 

[Rafiagra]

If we get some ridiculous fee which enables us to sign Mbappe, I'll make my peace with it.

 

[Dreambeliever]

I cant ever remember a player coming out and saying what Coutinho has.

Is he showing some class or should he be saying he is happy here?

Still positive he'll stay and leave next summer

 

[Oliver Twist]

What's he said?

 

[Modo]

I honestly wouldn't be totally against selling Coutinho for over £100 mill if this was done in June, but now?
I'm firmly behind the "hell no" camp. We won't be able to find a replacement this late and whoever we find will pull a Newcastle and ask for crazy money.

 

[reuque]

Why can't we just be the cunts we accuse Leipzig of being...

A team with excellent foresight could have smashed this transfer window. Big early bids in May could have wrapped up deals immediately.. the same players are now double the price and teams are hesitant to sell because of the inflated market.

Monaco did a great job with Tielemans early on. 22mil or something. A fucking steal.

I reckon a 70 - 80 million upfront bid would have landed us nearly any player in the world in May (if they obviously agreed to join us). Instead we haggled and the inflation in the market has well and truly fucked us.

 

[Zlate]

If we sell Coutinho, we should be all over Isco or Asensio from Madrid. I hope we don't but only either of them coming in would make me okay with the situation.

Asensio - imo - will be 5th (!!!) choice in the forward 3 for Zidane - Ronaldo, Bale, Benzema, Isco ...

You serious?

If only I'd known the stock market crash of 2009 was coming !

They'd never sell him, and who could blame them.

1. Catalan press should stop using the 'it's a matter of hours' in regards of Coutinho transfer. These are the reasons...
2. LFC not heard at all from FCB since that offer they received while in Hong Kong. They insisit they not selling and no plans for meetings
3. FCB have strategy based in patience but also admit that if it's not Coutinho it will be another one. And that they won't overspend on him
4. Coutinho has NOT handed a transfer request, has a back injury and still behaving impeccably according to club

 

[Hansern]

LOL if true

Yup. The same points were made in the Echo's Blood Red podcast last night.

 

[Markeh]

Meanwhile talksport are going with the news that a 3 man delegation have arrived in England to discuss terms for Coutinhos transfer. However they don't know if its to meet the players agent or the club.

Too much nonsense from everywhere

They've just turned up early for Beatle Week.

 

[Mystic]

Another day another Barcelona delegation

 

[HC]

 

[Woland]

No-one expects the Spanish Delegation

 

[Mors]

So Coutinho has a 'back strain' and Sanchez has a 'stomach strain' and neither are likely to feature this weekend? Pair of cunts if true.

Heaven forbid he might actually have a back strain.

 

[Oliver Twist]

Heaven forbid he might actually have a back strain.

What sort of conspiracy theory is that?

 

[Skullflower]

I'd say 7% he actually has a back strain

 

[Insignificance]

Didn't Peter Moore just give an interview were he underlined that he had nothing to do With the sport side of Things, as we had perfectly capable People to do that. But when we announce some shirt sleeve deal we drag in those people for press Conference?

 

[Rosco]

Has everyone forgotten how we staged Torres' exit ?

 

[Modo]

Please remind me. Just remember seeing photo's of him sulking on a training pitch alone.

 

[Modo]

Sad Coutinho:

 

[Zlate]

You serious?

100%. I'd rather Coutinho, but if he goes, Asensio has amazing potential and Isco ran the show v United

 

[Hansern]

What sort of conspiracy theory is that?

You'd think some want him to be sold.
