Steero113 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 My first trip to VP this season will be Coutinho's first match for Villa (Man Utd). There's a statement I never thought I'd say... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest av1 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Just now, Peter Griffin said: He hasn't actually signed. He has agreed to join us. He has to travel to UK and undertake a medical. He is expected to travel in the next 48 hrs. He will not be revealed as a Villa player until next week. Agree, that why I think he’ll play in league game on the 15th.

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Great signing. The wealth of talent and experience will be so valuable to existing first-teamers and the youth coming through. Some serious quality now in the squad. A statement signing like Coutinho may influence the likes of Hickey or Digne and potentially a player like Zakaria to sign with us too. Shirt sales alone will be massive, his social media influence too is massive. The option to buy is good too as we get first choice. There was some talk on the radio earlier about how Gerrard probably has been speaking to Coutinho for awhile, get yourself fit and hit the ground running in January. Well let's hope so... UTV.

dubbs Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Talkshite being quite disrespectful too. Basically saying he went to Barcelona to be the best in the world and had fallen so far he's ended up at Villa- bunch of tits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barca spent a stupid amount on him just to loan him out the next season so he could knock them out of Europe They’ll want at least that back and know they’ll get it from any given PL club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 The deal is very good for us - PC must have made his choice early and given Purslow all the cards in negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purslow might be what you say but, if true, this is also a measure of Barcelona’s financial problems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudevillaisnice Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Really happy with this deal, also excited to see who else we can attract. It’s clear Gerrard has a pull as a manager to attract higher quality players. Probably was in the board thinking long term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aston_Villan4 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I figured you would appreciate this Twitter thread @CVByrne Don’t know who he is, nor do I speak Spanish but he does a great analysis of what Coutinhos contract numbers mean for Barca and their books. And I guess how it would effect us as well now that we’ve loaned him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
