coolhandfox Posted 13 June 2021 Posted 13 June 2021 Could see a loan, no one is buying him, his on mega wages and just coming back from injury. Best Barc can hope for is loaning him out and get someone to contribute a % of his wages

He has been found out in Spain and in Germany .Not his fault he is a small guy but we need more not less power in midfield. But he was absolutely outstanding in the Premier League. The division we play in, in case you weren't aware. 4

Wouldn't say he was found out in Germany, statistically he was very good for Bayern: League: 23 appearances (14 starts, 1,414 minutes played - 15.7 games) - 8 goals and 6 assists - goal contribution every 101 minutes Champions League: 11 appearances (5 starts, 515 minutes played - 5.7 games) - 3 goals and 3 assists - goal contribution every 86 minutes Cup: 4 appearances (2 starts, 216 minutes played - 2.4 games) - 0 G/A Total: 38 appearances (27 starts, 2,145 minutes played - 23.8 games played) - 11 goals and 9 assists - goal contribution every 107 minutes His stats for Barcelona this season before his injury aren't horrendous either - in an underperforming Barcelona team: League: 12 appearances (8 starts, 656 minutes played - 7.3 games) - 2 goals and 2 assists - goal contribution every 164 minutes Champions League: 2 appearances (2 starts, 136 minutes played - 1.5 games) - 1 goal - goal contribution every 136 minutes Total: 14 appearances (10 starts, 792 minutes played - 8.8 games) - 3 goals and 2 assists - goal contribution every 158 minutes Edited 13 June 2021 by moore_94 3

Hes certainly no less physical than Maddison or Perez but arguably a better player Edited 13 June 2021 by MPH
AS78UK Posted 13 June 2021 Posted 13 June 2021 Get this guy in his prime would be amazing. A bit like Mahrez, don't expect him to defend much though.
jayfox26 Posted 13 June 2021 Posted 13 June 2021 Would cost about £40m just to pay up his remaining contract at Barce. Barce are in no financial position to play hardball. Offer them a 2 year loan and we pay £20m a year for the loan which covers his wages and then we get him on a free when his contract expires. I know this would never happen. Realistically, we are never going to be able to afford Coutinho. And with his injury concerns and his lack of form recently, I'm not sure its a risk worth taking for the amount it would cost.

Finn Claw II Posted 13 June 2021 Posted 13 June 2021 Anywhere near his Liverpool level and he is our most creative player.

Silva Fox Posted 13 June 2021 Posted 13 June 2021 This transfer window is either going to be our best and most exciting ever or one massive anti-climax. Strap yourselves in for an interesting few weeks! 2
