wict01 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I've yet to really be 100% convinced by Coutinho so far...BUT at that price, it's a gamble you'd be mental not to take. Excellent value for the potential upside of him rediscovering that £140m form! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdomlahor Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I’m not convinced by him either but it’s a great fee, which makes me think the wages will be tough to swallow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I assume the 50% of his image rights is because it's a world cup year and he's a star for Brazil. It's murky the whole image rights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talldarkandransome Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 OMG if that price is not made up then that's gotta be the bargain of the century. If he can avoid serious injury he's only gonna settle more and more. Him and Buendia next season could light this place up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villa87 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 This could be our statement signing. Rotate him in and out depending on opposition and find a way for both Coutinho and Buendia to play together and we are on to something! Big influence here in attracting other quality players.

He needs to settle, its the first regular footy he's had in ages. Gerrard knows him best, well that's what I'm hoping anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maqroll Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Perhaps more than anything else, he'll be used as a lure for other signings we'd not be able to secure without him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
