This is true.
And Unlike Southampton who will probably replace Van Dijk well, we will almost certainly not do the same for Wee Phil. So fuck off Barca. Southampton on the other hand should be laughing all the way to the bank.

Up until last year I'd have happily sold Coutinho to buy players that are better suited to more traditional roles. He is too slow out wide and was very wasteful in the centre of the park. I often felt that his presence (although capable of brilliance) was detrimental to our overall game.
He really stepped it up last year and his strengths now far outweigh his weaknesses. He has the ability to completely control games and he is fucking wonderful to watch. Panache!
Even If we sold Coutinho I doubt Klopp would sign another striker or winger to replace Firmino, Salah or Mane in the starting 11. He obviously likes Lallana so we'd likely look at bringing in a top quality Cm ... which is what we are trying to do with Keita and that's without the loss of Coutinho.
So, if we sell Coutinho...the likely result is Lallana filling his spot, a bucket load of cash that we can't spend and someone like Mahrez getting shoehorned into AM or on the bench waiting for Mane or Salah to get injured.
In conclusion, selling him is pointless.

We won't sell him, because there isn't another player in world football with similar abilities. Klopp has said we're building around him
Plus, if neymar is going, why the fuck would Coutinho go where his mate isn't. PSG bid next year I reckon
Never mind barca.

Good job last season is over then.
Coutinho works hard and played in the midfield three a number of times last season. He is definitely a Klopp type of player. I think he's most manager's type of player.
Although he has played Coutinho every single time he has been available to play. Which makes this assertion at best unfounded.
You look at Coutinho and see a slow, indirect and lazy player? You look at Lindelof and see potential? I think the Lucas incident has destabilised you, perhaps you could take a few days to pull yourself together again.
I also think he works hard, but the question is if he's the type of attacking midfielder he wants. I can only judge Klopp by his time in Dortmund. If he's looking to emulate that team, I can't remember them having a player in the Coutinho mould in his team.
Yeah I called him lazy and slow.
Different league, different players and if he didn't already know, he now does . I think he's already recognising that Karius (at least at the moment) and Klavan aren't up to scratch in England even if they were so in Germany.
But I think Coutinho is a key player in Klopp's Liverpool so the point is moot.

You implied it, perhaps to prepare yourself for his departure.
So even though Klopp is always purring over coutinho and wants to build his team around him, you don't think he's a klopp type of player?????
Just a feeling
gundogan?
Gundogan played further back. He's not a finess player like Coutinho.
Klopp had Reus or Mkhitaryan in that role.
With Gerrard they made inquiries and were swiftly turned down.
Poor the Modo.
If Gerrard had wanted to leave Liverpool, he would have done. It wasn't our decision or steadfast refusal to countenance offers.
Which is why he almost left at least twice, and both times it was entirely down to him to stay,.
I don't think Coutiniho will be the making or breaking of us being "somebody" or "nobody".
Kagawa had similar attributes, but was half the player Coutinho is. And he started most games for Klopp.
But it SEEMS like coutinho will be player deeper this season.

I was thinking the same (as Modo) about Coutinho at times last season – but he's evolved since then and I think now it's harder to make an argument that he's not a "Klopp player." Klopp is not a very rigid manager either – sure there are some players who you just know won't work in his system (like Benteke), but Coutinho is not one of them.
No he cannot make us a top team all on his own obviously,
But considering he's the only top player we have, and bearing in mind that we need to have about 2-3 more top players to really restore our position in world football, I don't see how selling him helps us being taken seriously in Europe any time soon.
Are you fucking serious or what?
What's fucking wrong with expressing your opinion on a football forum? If you disagree, make an argument as to why, not just jump on a bandwagon to kick a poster expressing an unpopular opinion.
BTW here's a poll I did in the aftermath of the Leicester home game, 72% of you wanted Coutinho benched for the next few games.
