Played well in his little cameo. Brazil pass the ball so silkily smooth he was strolling around as though he owned the pitch. (Probably does 😂).

He certainly got paid enough by Barca that he can probably afford to buy all of the pitches in South America!

This board has told me he is signing with Arsenal.

This board also claimed we wouldn’t need to negotiate anything because the permanent deal was all agreed and ready to go last January. 

I think the truth is something in between.

Never believed anything was a done deal, especially with the Coutinho salary situation.

But there likely is an agreed price £30m or so which Villa are trying to get down a bit. Maybe they are also haggling out a % Barca will take on for the remainder of Coutinhos contract after he signs like they did with Suarez to Atletico. Just can't see us paying Coutinho anything close to what he's on at Barca and would Coutinho be willing to give up almost £200k/w for the year he has left on his Barca contract just to get away from there?

Barca might be back in the money now after the Spotify deal but they are still in massive debt and still has a comical salary bill that needs to be reduced for them to be allowed to register players in the summer. They already have some deals done but cant afford then atm due to the La Liga salary rules.

Not sure we have an exclusive deal thou.

I was under the impression that we had right of first refusal to sign him. The reports even said the price was agreed with Barca?

We do, and we have an agreed to amount. But it could be how it’s paid that’s being discussed. If the rumors are true, of course. Or, since it’s Brokelona maybe they’re trying to renege and make us pay more money.
