Re: The Transfer Thread

I've seen that one used on several occasions (when Lebron left Miami is one), but this particular one was very well done! Haha, that never gets old!

Re: The Transfer Thread

Not that it'll be a total shock, but it seems as though Barcelona is close to getting Coutinho. The funny thing is one website said $82 million and another said $108.8 million. Haha. If it gets done, I'm guessing it'll be closer to the 108 million.

I'd like to see him stay at Liverpool. I'm a fan of him, and I think he, Salah, Firmino, Mane, etc. could do some real damage in the Premier League this season. And I don't like Barcelona much, so there's that.

Is there anything substantial to it or just the usual transfer talk?

There's nothing substantial to it whatsoever.

Wouldn't necessarily say that, no smoke without fire and all that.

Coutinho would go to Barca for sure if given the chance, he's just also a nice guy and probably won't force a move.

Can't really say there's nothing substantial when reliable sources from both sides have admitted there's contact and all that. Liverpool don't want to sell, but that doesn't mean they aren't discussing it.

Re: The Transfer Thread

If ESPN FC (I can't keep a straight face while I type that) is to be believed, the deal has already been completed.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Im guessing the 108 is with add ons and maybe salary. The rags like to do that to some of the clubs.

Which changes from article to article depending on the narrative said rag wants to push on that particular day.

Unless of course that player is Raheem Sterling, in which case the narrative is and will always be that he's basically Hitler in a football kit

Re: The Transfer Thread

Are their any Liverpool fan twitter pages saying they'll give each of their followers $50 if Coutinho leaves? That's become a thing lol. The ultimate denial jinx.

Re: The Transfer Thread

There hasn't even been a second bid, Barca still haven't improved on the original £72m lol.

Re: The Transfer Thread

This mysterious Barca negotiation team was apparently in Liverpool and Dortmund at the exact same time. Very talented.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Klopp pretty much keeps saying no means no, so I doubt Coutinho goes anywhere. That's fine with me. I doubt Dembele goes this season either.

Re: The Transfer Thread

If Barca offer 130m or more Dembele will leave for sure, Dortmund won't turn down that kind of cash

Re: The Transfer Thread

Come on Coutinho, hand in that request. You know you want to play for Barca.

Re: The Transfer Thread

And then Liverpool backed off and now the player has handed in a transfer request. Coutinho is free to do the same. If he doesn't he isn't going anywhere this summer.

Especially if he plays in a week at Hoffenheim. Barca ain't spending that kind of cash on a CL cup tied player.

Re: The Transfer Thread

I still don't get why Barca are after Coutinho at all. He's massively expensive and doesn't even really fit their system unless they plan on using him as a CM.

Dembele is younger, dreams of playing for Barca and fits their system perfectly.

Just seems like a no-brainer and yet here we are.

Re: The Transfer Thread

Coutinho is going to play CM though. And be very good at it.
