Philippe Coutinho, Part II

[Jerry Laser]

Surely the best thing is to meet half way between our valuation and theirs.... so around £9 Million.... Isn't that the way bartering always worked?

 

[LeTallecWiz]

So not only is he gifted, but he wants to come to the better club? Yah, give 'em an extra million and we'll call it even.

 

[juniormember]

Posters who haven't seen him play to top it off.

He's a legend.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

" He wants Liverpool"

Southampton offer 10.2 Euro but The Playmaker wants time to wait for The Reds.

That's the story on Twatter too:

#inter hope #lfc and #saints get into bidding war for #coutinho. Player prefers #lfc but #saints have made the bigger offer so far

 

[Halmeister]

Whoosh?

I hope not. I like Mamma Mia. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt!

Apart from in The Life Of Brian.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

It seems that Coutinho's price is fixed at 13m euros. It seems unlikely that they will sell for a lower price - especially as Liverpool, according to reports in Italy, have not bid more than 8m euros. That's a big gap.

 

[gkmacca]

I suspect the more important issue is how the payments will be structured. If we pay more upfront that could sway it.

 

[Woland]

John Henry just spent more than that on a round of gerbil cocktails at Davos.

Bartering doesn't involve money.

This is all getting a little tedious...if he chooses Southampton it will be the stupidest thing!

He has a chance of becoming a first team regular at our club and playing alongside a very good bunch of players.

if theres a difference of 1.5-2m separating the two clubs from agreement we should just pay up...the boy is raw and green but could be developed into a top attacking talent!

 

[Hansern]

We had a bid of 7,6 mill £ rejected which is about 9 mill€.

We might have to bid 11ish mill € to get him.
If the Paulinho deal goes through, then Inter will accept that imho, as they need the money

He doesn't have the chance until Inter accept our offer. If his options are to stay on the bench at Inter or to play regular first team football at Soton then moving there wouldn't be stupid at all.

Well Inter can't go for Paulinho until they sell alvarez or countinho.

 

[Hansern]

They got no bids for Alvarez and will now sell Coutinho. Latest from Italy is that they will accept 12 mill euro.
If we bid 11 I think he's ours.

thats because alvarez is shit and everyone knows it. he's been awful at inter.

 

[Hansern]

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Inter have given Liverpool and Southampton 48 hours to complete any deal for Coutinho.

Quick update on Coutinho, Ayre still working with Inter on add ons. Although players has agreed move to #LFC.

 

[Silver Sean]

He'll have to do well to score as many crucial, and great goals as Garcia did.

Well, for a start we'd need to be challenging for the top and be in the Champion's League. He might help lift us the heady heights of 6th.

 

[Sunny]

Spurs allegedly had a £9.5m bid accepted. Surprise surprise.

 

[Hansern]

Where is that from mate? Spurs are after Holtby this window instead of the summer

 

[Mystic]

Spurs signing another attacking midfielder would be beyond bizzare, I suspect Sunny is on a wind up though.

I see someone on RAWK wanted to start a Coutinho rumour

Edit: And they did with this Spurs rumour, its BS

It is indeed - Those little RAWK scallywags....

heres the start of it - http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=302393.msg11323369#msg11323369

cant believe skybet has dropped from 20/1 to 4/1 for coutinho to spurs! Goes to show how easy it is to spread shite around

 

[gkmacca]

Rawk are the Sidney and Beatrice Webb of forums. They seem to take more pleasure at reinforcing their view that most other people are moronic lumpenproles than they do in seeing us actually sign a good player.
