If we are seriously going for Coutinho then I don't know whether to be impressed with how much Rodgers may have at his disposal this summer or very concerned that we are moving away from the model we have been so successful with in recent years. Our transfer model has also included bringing in experienced senior pro’s as well with considerable success. The likes of Morgan, Huth, Simpson, Cambiasso, Fuchs, Evans, Ricardo come to mind. Of course, the less said about Inler the better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean a player who was here for one season and we won the league ?? I’ll take another signing like that ! the coutinho links are strange. I assume it’s just talk for other reasons and his previous relationship with Brendan makes us the easy link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 Not a transfer I'm interested in. It would be all headline and pomp. But don't see the value added in the team. His best years are well gone and he doesn't strike me as a Cambiasso sleeves up lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOXYTALK Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 Happy to take him on loan ala Under. As long as the fee is not outrageous and pay 50% wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 Jokes aside, bringing in a player like him, could help us to convince players like Tielemans to stay with us as we're showing great ambition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 He's 28 years old and Rodgers knows him. He is not the first "superstar" to go to Barca and not shine. He'd come here and I have no doubt he'd be close to amazing. However, I just dont see us doing it. Mainly because of the money involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban fox Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 It is an automatic, and understandable reaction that we couldn’t afford him. However, we have no idea what his wage demands would actually be. This is a guy who has been earning 10m a year for the last few seasons so already has enough to live a life of luxury for the rest of his days. He may just decide that a 50% cut at this point in his career is still enough to get by on if it means a regular start and picking up a couple more medals. Barca need to offload so would also be willing to negotiate on any actual fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 Liverpool made 100 million profit on Coutinho , that has to be the best piece of business ever done. I have always thought that lightweight players get more protection from referees in this country. In Spain the opposition were quick to bully him out of games. Yes he would do better back in England but he has priced himself out of coming back here. Take the money and run your contract out I would advise him and when he is available for free he will be a lot more attractive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les-tah Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 (edited) 2 sides to this.. 1. We don’t need big players our transfer policy works. or 2. Experience helps balance the squad and it worked with Cambiasso. so whatever happens there will be a positive side. He might actually want to achieve something again and probably feels he would settle in quicker with BR. .. never gonna happen but who knows.

jerry Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 Feel we would be moving away from the blueprint that enabled us to win the League. No big time Charlie's or massive disparity in wages within the group.. Only way a club of our size with limited resources can afford to splash the cash is by courtesy of the owners. Appreciate that they show no signs of losing interest at the moment but should that happen in the future you would look at a club like Portsmouth to see the consequences. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeyTennis? Posted 14 June 2021 Share Posted 14 June 2021 On paper as a player, he would be a really good addition to the squad and could do a job for us. The problems are his wages, and it sounds like he's crocked. Risky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They pay a player 300 grand a week to do nothing that is their problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
