AvonVillain Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Can't help but think that if Arsenal make that 4th spot, which looks likely, they'll put a tempter bid in for him. London, Champions League? Or Steven Gerrard and 'a right good go at the top 8'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see them chucking 34 mill at 30 year old Coutinho. Can we not just enjoy him and see how it goes? If he plays every game like Saturday, we’ll be in a great place to attract talent even cos we’ll have finished in the top ten. If he doesn’t then, I would bet it’s us who have the decision to make, not him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's "happy" here, I think he'd "happily" sign for us permanently rather than seeking somewhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isnt desperate now for medals either. Pretty sure he wants to get to the World Cup and thats his goal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted March 8, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted March 8, 2022 I think he seems the kind of player who needs to be happy first and foremost, and given how badly Barça when for him, I don’t think he’d gamble on a move elsewhere if he is happy here.

TRO Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 (edited) just been laughing at Chris Suttons comments on Phil..... so according to Chris, Phil has to single handedly get us in to Europe next season.....before he is convinced, its a good signing. How do they get these jobs? Phil is not only showing what a special talent he is......he is dragging some of our players with him, their belief as risen too.

punkiller1981 Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 Just a thought do we have to wait until the end of the season to activate the buy clause? Might be worth going yep your still decent let’s get this wrapped up. It’s good for him it’s good for us win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do they get these jobs? Phil is not only showing what a special talent he is......he is dragging some of our players with him, their belief as risen too. I listened to this too. I think Sutton plays a bit on his quarrelsome, contrary image, and actually think he's pretty good at his role on the radio. There's plenty of ex-pro's I roll my eyes at when I hear they're on instead of someone else, like Dion Dublin, sadly, who comes out with such insight as, "Well I think Messi is world class," and my ears start to hurt with the blandness of it all. This is where I despair at people given a role they clearly have no aptitude for, instead of a sports journalist, say; people who are paid to be informed on the subject at hand. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 He could have legitimately had 4 goals and 2 assists. That was one of the best performances I've seen at VP ever. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
