Yes, but everyone knows he's originally from Bedford.
It's their problem if they have. Building long-term is the only viable strategy for us. As for almost anyone, for that matter.
Agreed Mark, if the Echo is right and we sign Coutinho and Ince as well as Sturridge then I'll be the first to applaud FSG. That's good money invested in good young players, which is all I really want from them on the transfer front.
Personally I was never that keen on the Sneijder signing. Admittedly I've not seen much of him the last couple of years, but his outright greed in refusing to take a pay cut in return for more pkaying time should be a real warning. Would he have had anything like enough hunger? That sort of behaviour really pisses me off in a player already rich beyond most people's wildest imaginations.

Is he an Eriksen type of player or more a tricky winger? I've never seen him play, and as I reckon you have loads I'd love a more thorough breakdown of his PROs and CONs ability wise.
I am quietly optimistic on behalf of this signing judging from peoples reactions (and his name) I am however slightly concerned he's not Danish (and the fact that he seems to struggle to get a game with Inter, doesn't seem to score much and looks very light-weight overall and Coldplay is being used in a compilation of his).
5 goals in 16 games for Espanyol is a decent scoring record.

Yeah. I wanted Sneijder but only if the deal was right. Now that he's chosen Turkey because of money I'm not at all bothered we lost out. I'm glad we tried though.
Sneijder is already behind me and now I'm firmly on board the Coutinho bandwagon.

Ok, yeah, that's not bad at all. I had only checked his record with Inter.
I don't know anything about Coutinho (unfortunate name - you know what that is going to become amongst rival supporters) but the first trick on the first Echo link had me .. and then it got better. I've just wet myself.
We bought Agger, Skrtel, Mascherano, Suarez all in mid-season. It's true that they may not have much effect on the current season, but that also gave them an extra 1/2 season to prepare and adapt to the new season, especially the foreign based players.
There are pros and cons, depends how you look at it.
Arbeloa too.

What do you mean 'rival supporters'?
Hah, I bet Brendan can't wait for him to flop.
I'd heard the name but hadn't knowingly seen him until Jr.Windever posted a Youtube clip, a couple of days ago.
As jaded as I am with the state of things LFC/fottie-wise, generally, I'm a sucker for some new dead skilleh player.
I'm definitely having him.
Here's another one for you then. Be warned though. If you watch this, a little bit of wee may come out

Having just watched his youtube's I am getting more excited about this signing. A real tricky winger. Apart from a few splendid cameos from Sterling when was the last time we had the honor to watch a real dribbler on our wing? Love to get one of those again.
And he's already wearing a scouse wig.

If he clicks, Suarez and he with Sturridge between them will drive defences mental.
It would be a waste of time if we were signing some Riera / Pennant esque signing to go into the first team now. Someone like Coutinho is a real talent and now is absolutely the right time to buy someone like him. We've got half a season left where he can bed in with no real pressure because the team is in transition.
But to be honest I don't really care about any of that:
1. His name ends with 'nho'.
2. Not only can he do stepovers, he can do all the other cool shit too.
That's all I and anyone else should need to know. Sign him no matter what the cost!

It actually is quite exciting. For years we've all said we need to sign top end talent before they become so desirable they're out of our reach. This is a prime case of this. The lad has skills a plenty from what little I've seen and certainly pace to burn. He could improve the team and, if it didn't work out, we're still likely to get a healthy return on our investment. I'm excited at the though of this more so than Sneijder as he's young which means he'll be hungry. The downsides are youth, a new country to settle into and inexperience but well worth the risk in my opinion - for what little that's worth
I would post that Randy Marsh-spunk everywhere picture here, but I don't want to go down the NSFW route, just now.
*in a "tittay-Coutinho quandary*
He can flick the ball over defenders !
Once again, this man...he doth know.
Ooo, that's a much better clip. Nice to see he has a decent shot in him too. Loved the Ronaldinhosque free kick there.
