My thoughts exactly - especially with their timing yesterday of the kids playing Liverpool last year minutes after Liverpool got their game called off.

They are just admin mate they know nothing but probably just trying to get fans like you excited with little potential clues. On a different note what number do you think he would want? With a signing like him he would demand what he wanted right? So we’d need to free up 10 or maybe he would want 14 which he is at Barca and is free because Conor is gone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the #24 jersey retired after Aleksandar Tonev? If not maybe he could be allowed to use that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows F all and him having a job at Sky is a waste of money Just watched the clip and the way he pronounces the word “club” is like nails on a blackboard. Proper ring-sniffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they would get a fee, but he’s probably not worth anywhere near what they paid for him. What would be the point in saying it’s a loan though, just say he’s for sale?

Made In Aston Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 9 minutes ago, sne said: Doubt Coutinho will ever come close to the level of player he was before he moved from Liverplop and especially before those injuries. But if he can be like say Juninho was when he returned to Middlesbrough then he'll still be useful. As one or two said earlier, some of the best players in the PL are in their late 20s early 30s, so it's probably a wrong assumption to think Coutinho won't be able to reach a world class level for us.

Most of those guys have not been bit part players for the last 4 seasons while also suffering major injuries and having surgery. If we sign him I'd be delighted if he could reach good top half PL quality. World class would be surprising to say the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for me but the problem is if he can get back to that level or even similar fitness levels. His last full 90 minutes was October 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His last full 90 minutes was October 2020 I've nothing against a loan deal (apart from it helping Barcelona to keep on cheating) but it feels unfair to the guy if people are expecting him to be world class.

The Fun Factory Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I would only be impressed with this transfer if he goes through if he nails 2 curries in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shouldn’t be forgotten, who in their right mind would choose to work with Eddie Howe rather than SG? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 42 minutes ago, nick76 said: If this happens and Gerrard can get the best out of him then he’s the closet thing in replacement to Jack we could imagine at our level. He literally was sold for £142m and if he can play anywhere near where he was then he’s as good as Jack in raw ability…the question will be, can Gerrard get him back to that level. Even at a level lower he would be our best outfield player but yes if it went wrong it would be an expensive fail. I like that we are trying, he has the connection with Gerrard and there is potentially massive upside. For me, this is a no brainer and will be delighted if we get him. I think a loan to buy covers us for that though. If he performs well for remainder of season then it's a good deal. If not we don't buy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
