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

Can someone start a new trend on Twitter? It won't be difficult - #fuckbarca ... bunch of fucking cunts. I may have to start liking Madrid. Thundercunts.
 
fucking barca.
fuck them those thundercunts.
i'm just surprised we haven't heard messi or mascherano bleat on about 'Coutinho being a Barca type of player' ... fuck them.
There was a lame attempt by somebody called Pete Jensen n the Daily Fail, something about Suarez waiting to welcome his firmer teammate. No quotes, mind.
 
I bet you a pound to a penny he'll leave this window, his performances will be below par for us if he doesn't go, next bid will be 100m + and that'll be the green light from FSG not sure JK will think the same like.

Klopp will have the final say. FSG will be courting disaster selling Coutinho behind Klopp's back.
 
The headline is slightly misleading. Almost EVERY club is a selling club. Look at Juventus and even United.

The prestige in being South American and playing for Madrid is oversold. How many South Americans get a game for Madrid? Marcelo? Anyway I've digressed.

The only way I'd sell is €100 million plus Luis Suarez. Otherwise they can fuck off coming to us just before the start of the season playing this kind of bull shit.

Selling now is lunacy, that said Barca is an appealing destination for a latino player. In my opinion if teams are spending 60M euros on a reasonably good right back how much is Coutinho worth in the market? A highly creative player who scores goals... even when discounting the terrible inconvenience of the timing and the damage it would do to the spirit of the fans just before the first ball is kicked, a reasonably good right back for 60M Euros... How much for a highly gifted attacking player? 140M E and we will go away and think about it, until then, fuck right off Barca.

Better still I have thought about it, How about Iniesta plus Suarez...and 40M in our direction.... now that I would actually consider....

If we sell Coutinho now, I'd quit if I was Klopp.
He owes us nothing, and the owners would have seriously fucked him and the club.
If all the owners care about is $$$ for themselves and not where Klopp hopes to take the club, why the fuck should he be here?
 
I wouldn't want Iniesta, it's about 7 years too late. The last few years he's shown flashes of brilliance, but they are getting fewer and fewer.

Maybe asking for Suarez plus 100 million Euros is a bit much, maybe 50 million. But we know these swap deals never happen.

100% agree.
 
Why write an article saying that we are a selling club so he will go to Barcelona, when Barcelona have just been forced into selling one their best players? Nonsensical.

If I was a betting man, I'd have a pound on him going this window, right before it SLAMS. They'll dangle 110M or so and we'll take it.
 
What if...

We sold Coutinho for 110 million and then spent 220 million on new recruits prior the the transfer window closing. Would people still be angry?

No - recruiting with big $$$ doesn't work. Ask Barca about their pursuit of Dembele ...
If we have a lot of money, and clubs know, we'll pay far too much.
 
In previous years, you could sell your top player for an exorbitant fee and look forward to reinvesting that across the team.

That's no longer the case. You have to spend the majority of the fee for the player of lesser quality (unless you strike gold) and maybe there is some left over to put towards someone else.

Barca just lost one of THE stars of the game and if you believe the press will have to beat the previous world record transfer by 50% to sign a 20 year old kid with one top season to his name as a replacement.

There is no incentive to sell any more - the money doesn't mean anything.
 
Good post, agree completely. Selling will only lead to us being set further back, regardless of 130 mill "more" to spend.

Its quite critical that we dont sell in this window. We've been seen as a selling club for to long now.

That said, I dont think we'll sell him.
 
It's not usually all down to us when we do sell our better players, it's driven by the players themselves. If Coutinho really wants to go, we'll sell.

I think we can control the 'when' though. On a number of occasions we have coaxed the player to stay longer than they wanted to, but it is a matter of deferring the inevitable.

Yeah, that's true. But, maybe we already have delayed it to this end of the summer?

I think all this talk of behind Klopps back is probably rubbish too, he's been aware of this for a while, he may not be in favour of it, but he has to learn how to deal with it. He's ultimately responsible for having the best squad possible.
 
Nah, then we would have had a replacement signed already, or at least wanted business done before pre season.
That in itself tells you that this hasnt been on the cards.

We probably know they will be after him next year when Iniesta retires. The Neymar transfer pushed forward their interest and have made them a bit desperat.
They fucked up signing Verratti and lost Neymar instead to PSG.

He'll do a Suarez and stay 12 more months in my opinion. Next year he'll probably move on.
But it will give us time to find the best replacement and a possibly great World cup will see his fee increase even more.

FSG could see Klopp potentially leave, the season going tits up and the clubs value decreasing again. I'm sure the latter is something they do understand. There are to many risks by selling him this late in the window.

Just look at Leipzig. We dont have to sell Coutinho, even if he does want to go.
 
It wouldn't be like you to put a positive spin on things and always assume the best?

Thats a ridiculous argument, as usual, given the facts at hand. Whats your next one, some comment about a Twitter post 5 years ago?
Whats positive about losing one of your top players next season, anyway? Still selling, and losing him.

We might end up selling this summer, and look like a bunch of massive cunts. But I dont think, or hope, that we will.

Even RAWK have understood that there still isnt one reliable source claiming he's off.

That depends..

If we could like point at Virgil van Dijk, Keita and Forsberg and perhaps a Pulisic from Dortmund, and swap them for one Coutinho, then I'd say, yeah, definitely..

But that's obv not going to happen, so it's a bit impossible to answer that question, satisfyingly at least. I guess part of what is going on behind scenes right now - if Coutinho indeed himself has asked to leave - is us trying to count the eggs and potentially how many chickens we could be expecting to see hatch from them.

"So if we sell Coutinho, we'd be able to earmark another £10M on the VVD deal and seal that. And then we could try to persuade RB once again with an improved £120M bid for their duo.. but what if they say no, we should defo call them and ask them - only hypothetically of course - what they'd likely say?

And then perhaps Leipzig have to call somebody to see if their potential back-up targets are available, etc. etc. It's probably not the easiest thing to navigate in the current market. As @keniget said elsewhere, it's almost like you'd get nothing but trouble to sell your players, no matter the price, as of now..
 
The Liverpool manager added: "Today, no player on the planet is untouchable. But a transfer is also a question of timing and if you have the opportunity and the need to react to such a transfer.
"Also you have to ask, if you have the time to react. But just because of one request of one club, we don't have to think about that. We are not in that situation.

So barca are just too late , this year
 
Hansern misses the point as usual

Says the man who uses examples like Martinez to Barca for 32 mill, when argumenting about their negotiation skills with 200 mill in their pockets.
It highligts your level of intelligence.

Well, colour me pink and call me baconface. Who would have thought.
 
Klopp:

[article]"Liverpool is not a club that has to sell players. That is set in stone. So what they pay in the end doesn't matter."

"From a financial standpoint, there is no price limit to let him go. No price at which we are ready to give in."

[bcolor=initial]"Our goal is to have the best possible team. So we want to keep our guys and add new ones. That is our plan."[/bcolor]
