Very bold statement by this dude

Already getting emails from Barcelona offering television coverage of @Phil_Coutinho Barca presentation this Friday #keen
— Andy May (@andymay) August 9, 2017

Okay someone proved it is fake news. But Catalan press says Friday presentation for Coutinho.

by BarcaLearning Wed 9 Aug - 18:49:29

Too much money we are talking about for Coutinho...or Dembele... again I would prefer that we dont buy anyone rather than gamble with such huge amounts of money.

If they do buy and fails, there will be demand for changes at management of the club, which also may not be a bad thing though I guess.

by windkick Wed 9 Aug - 19:02:27

Yeah I'm with you.rather wait than to get ripped off. Both Pool and Dortmund asking for ridiculous money

by Myesyats Wed 9 Aug - 19:35:31

Negotiations for Coutinho have accelerated significantly in last few hours & Barça could be ready to present him as on Friday [El Periódico]

Sources battling each other. Some say it's hours away from being done, some that there has been no contact for 3 weeks between the clubs.

by Nishankly Wed 9 Aug - 20:21:33

News from solid sources in England>>>

The truth is more mundane. #Coutinho really does have a back problem.

#Coutinho has made clear to #Klopp that he'd be interested in speaking to the Barcelona IF #LFC are interested in selling.

Klopp though, is adamant he will not even consider an offer for #Coutinho - even if it grew considerably beyond £100m.

That's led to a farcical situation with #LFC officials continually forced to deny claims Barca officials have travelled to Anfield

Those stories have been repeated every day this week so far, and yet there has been no contact between the clubs. #LFC #Coutinho

#Coutinho hasn’t yet been ruled out of the game vs Watford but he’s running out of time to prove his fitness. (James Pearce)

Second bid of 100m rejected for Coutinho, Solid sources in England.

by windkick Thu 10 Aug - 7:35:46

Haven't seen much of Dembele, is he as good as billed?

by guest7 Thu 10 Aug - 10:11:20

Danyjr, I wasn't speaking on Dembele vs Hazard. I meant that Hazard in general, outside big games, isn't a heavy scorer!

by Nishankly Thu 10 Aug - 12:42:50

Klopp finally speaks out.

Apparently we will finalize the transfer of Paulinho from China. WTF?

I am definitely pissed off at this board. I will buy no shirt or spend any cent on any merchandise until this *bleep* monkeys of the management are changed.

by zenmaster Sat 12 Aug - 18:05:57

More then happy if Barcelona does not pay 100 m for Coutinho. Not worth that money ... Market is too bad ATM.

by danyjr Sat 12 Aug - 18:26:30

Dat Tottenham reject for €40m rofl

I am now 100% sure some dodgy agent is behind all these transfers, making some good dough for himself. Douglas, Gomes are some of the names that cross the mind.

by Myesyats Sat 12 Aug - 18:48:46

Expected lmao.

Names thrown around: Coutinho, Dembele, Dybala
Names signed: Paulinho

Welcome to Barca.

FFS. The guy is 29 years old and a Tottenham reject. What went wrong?

by guest7 Sat 12 Aug - 19:01:49

The source is Daily Mail

Take it with a grain of salt

by Beautiful Football Sat 12 Aug - 19:09:06

What the hell Paulinho!! are you kidding me 40 millions!! i mean seriously!!! How did Paulinho manage to get his price up playing in china!!

This Bartomeu board need to be thoroughly investigated for corruption and money laundering, not a single player sign they made is world class. All of them are below average and overpriced which is unheard of.
And they also manage to lose Neymer. why socios are still sleeping? This is day light robbery . Unbelievable!!

by Myesyats Sat 12 Aug - 19:14:43

Sources in Spain also confirm (hopefully they're citing daily mail, can't be bothered to look it up)... I really do hope it's just a misunderstanding though, we don't need another Gomes....

More about Coutinho:

Coutinho doesn't want to play for Liverpool again. No going back. Relationship w/ coach not great. LFC still in strong position. [@SkyKaveh]

by Beautiful Football Sat 12 Aug - 19:19:35

If we end up with Paulinho instead of Coutinho and Dembélé and losing Naymer in the same transfer window, it will be most disastrous transfer window in the history. So depressing. i am gonna fly to barcelona and take on this stupid board.

by zenmaster Sat 12 Aug - 21:07:12

Not sure what is wrong with the board. Surely end of an era.

by guest7 Sun 13 Aug - 9:36:14

Valverde "I don't know anything about Paulinho"

by Myesyats Sun 13 Aug - 17:45:04

WTF... so apparently he's already on his way to Barcelona, i hope it's fake

Also on Coutinho:
@SkyKaveh
Coutinho's Liverpool teammates sympathise with him. Understand why he wants move. Nearly all players will say yes to Barcelona & Real Madrid

by windkick Mon 14 Aug - 3:00:17

More I think about it, after todays game it's becoming clearer why they are so obsessed with a player like Paulinho. Casemiro has been running our slow midfield up and down, a midfield that doesn't have much grit.

I think once we have a lead, they plan on bringing him on to prevent the other team from running us down, as oppose to going for a more technical technician like the guys we already have (notice Sergi came on today and got bullied and did nothing with this minutes but lose the ball that lead to a goal). Not saying I agree with this signing 1 bit, but I think that's the train of thought the board is having here...signing another Keita type player to bring off the bench to run up and down and take some pressure off of Iniesta or something like that.

I agree what you said here. But remember he is 29.

by danyjr Mon 14 Aug - 19:03:18

Except you signed Keita for €15m not €40m. He was a good talent for Sevilla and not a Spurs reject who has been playing in China. Not to mention he was younger than Paulinho with some resale value (not that Barcelona exercised that option, you let him leave for free Laughing

).

Barça target Philippe Coutinho is not in the Liverpool squad for tomorrow's Champions League qualifier at Hoffenheim. [via @SkyKaveh]
