Don't see how he fits in unless Maddison goes. Maddison and Tielemans don't really work as a pair unless we're miles better than the team we're playing so I can't see him displacing one of those

I think BR would play him wide

Gives him another year on the same big contract at Barca while playing CL football under a manager who knows how to get the best out of him. Regardless of who covers what percentage of his wages, he still gets full whack. The only way he earns that after leaving Barca permanently now is as a forgotten man in China.


I’m not sure how long he has on his contract, but if there’s any left on it and Barca want to sell him. I think they’ll have to pay the difference between what he gets on his new one and what he was contracted to at Barcalona (or come to an agreement with him and the new club).

Madders would simply stick to his position. Philly can play wide left, which is where he spent a lot of time playing in the season they had Sturbridge and Suarez. BR prefers to play with two wide midfielders that out and out wingers doesn’t he? So I’d imagine it would be something like;

 

—————Vardy

 

Philly——-Madders———-Barnes.

 

 

But it’s all if’s and buts.

I wonder if Barca might feel they need to tickle us under the armpits re some future transfer dealings ......

Could well be true. Unless they rely on their pull and finances to be able to steamroll us when they do come knocking for someone.

Most likely end up at Arsenal or Chelsea.

Quite doubt Arsenal would take a look at him, particularly with his likely massive wage demands.

Think they'll be on a cost-cutting exercise now, certainly after not being a 'top-six' club any more and bringing some of their own youth gradually into the first-team squad.

My money remains on his staying at Barca (and excelling).

 

You have to ROFL at the idea of Maddison or Tielemans not being displaced for Coutinho.  In the unlikely event LCFC had any chance of bringing him in you worry about where everybody else plays later, because he's the first name on the team sheet every week.

Its not that hard. 

 

Barnes Vardy Coutinho front three. 

 

The rest of the team picks itself and Perez moves to the bench.

Yeah I would agree with this too.

 

Probably Coutinho the other side but that’s just being pedantic!

They well still have more money and pulling power than us.

 

The only reason we are in the frame at all is more them likely Rodgers.

Not happening his agent has said he's nit even spoken to Barca yet abd wintvtill he's available.  He's not spoken to any clubs. 

It’s an interesting window re stuff like this - if the player wants CL football then committing to anyone in the prem before second half July could be impossible ....  surely Barca can’t wait that long re their own plans ....... he won’t be the only one in this position either .... and the buying clubs not knowing their budgets aswell .....

I think the training ground will be massive in this all too. Everyone I’ve spoken to in podcasts and stuff keep saying how big it’ll be for the club and getting lads in

For sure, there will be players that fly in "just for a talk", will see the training ground and think "whoa!"

 

If Coronavirus didn't happen, I could have seen the Coutinho loan deal happening. Now however, I think a player on those kind of wages is out of our ballpark. Revenues for all clubs is going to massively diminish so I think pragmatism and being prudent is more important than spending big and running into financial problems later on. Next years PL and Champions League money will be less than it would normally, plus lost revenue from home gate receipts. Thus I think it will be a quiet transfer window this time round with spending massively reduced across the board, with only the Manc clubs and Chelsea spending big. Even Liverpool I think will be fairly timid this summer but probably spend big the following summer instead. I think we will get players, but think signings like Lallana, Ryan Fraser, Josh King even are more likely. IE "proven" PL players that have something to offer, but not marquee signings.

 

Only counter point to this is that our owners have backed the club many times before. Cambiasso was a marquee signing, Slimani might not have made the cut but was a record transfer fee, and last summer both Perez and then Tielemans were record signings. But the King Power's main source of revenue is Duty Free at airports, and that must be taking a colossal hit right now. It's very understandable if we "tread water" for 6-12 months IMO, and as long as we keep the core squad together we will still be in a good place.
