Mazrim Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Coutinho will be lethal once we get better players around him on the same sort of wavelength, particularly if we can get defensive mids / box to box 8s who can enable us to keep possession more. Having a proper preseason with us will also massively help. As for Buendia, we can play both, but the rest of the recipe has to be balanced. Again, a proper solid midfield would really help that.

danceoftheshamen Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Delighted with this if/when it is finalised. I remember us being interested in him in his pre-Liverpool days when he was a youngster, can't remember who was the manager at the time? Anyone remember?

DCJonah Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I think I've been a bit off Coutinho because I didn't think he'd end up coming or that it would be a huge amount of money and a gamble. I think this is looking like a massive signing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 I know people are querying how this affects Buendia but don't forget that next season 5 subs will be allowed so having more strength in depth is crucial. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
