I dont think we should be writing him off yet, Emery can make him whole again. Adam Lallana is a good player for Brighton and he's like 4 years older than Coutinho. No reason Coutinho cant have the same impact for Villa. I'm not at all. I'm looking at how he's been playing for us for several months now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 If we get an offer in the summer then i would probably sell. Just because of the salary. Nothing else. But i dont think he will go. In terms of home life he is happy here it seems. So its up to our coaching and physio team to get him playing and keep him fit. Talent is there. Look how McGinn dipped under Gerrard. No reason why a fit Couthinho cannot be a massive threat . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is all about opinions, my one is different to yours on this, but it will be UE's that will determine where he spends next season. I hope it is with us, I can't get enough of seeing him in our shirt myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard obviously had the belief that he could add some real quality to an ordinary team, which he did initially, but the opposition learned to crowd him out. He would have to change his game slightly to fit in Emery's way of playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted April 8, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 8, 2023 **** what's the injury is it a recurring thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 Can’t see him getting fit enough or in enough of a rhythm to really affect the remainder of the season unfortunately. A fully fit Coutinho is an asset for sure, whether it be from the bench or playing the first 60 minutes of matches. I’d love to see what he could do with a run of games in an Emery side. Not sure what happens in the Summer. I like him, but he’s on huge wages and his injury record is poor. I think the wages could be better spent on a new signing but it’s not as if he is in his mid 30’s. He’s still young enough to get up to a very high level of playing. I’m sure the club will be open to sensible offers. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 8, 2023 Share Posted April 8, 2023 If we were a five a side team he'd be a player. We're not. It's a big pitch and a fast league. Done. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The refreshing part about our club is now nobody stands out as that individual star it’s about the team. So no I don’t want to see an individual that we rely heavily upon who enjoys the show being all about him at the club again. What a load of absolute bollocks. Jack came with his flaws as all geniuses do, but he literally carried the entire club and it’s player-base to promotion back to the Pl and kept us there. Show some sodding gratitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t question the way he carried the team but he did have bit of an ego, we’d be screwed without him and I’ll be forever grateful, but let’s not pretend that we didn’t turn a blind eye to some of the things he did. I could elaborate but I’ll leave it at that it’s obviously a sore subject to some of the fan boys on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dan-BrightonVillan Posted April 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted April 18, 2023 Honestly think some are being a bit hard on Coutinho, he's been unlucky with injuries this season, and no one played well under Gerrard. I'd still like to see what he can do under a proper coach / manager - he was class in his day maybe Emery can get him back to those levels? If he did we'd have a hell of a player, and he's surely still got some decent years ahead if he looks after himself? Utlimately, whatever Emery decides goes and I'll back it 100% if he wants to move him on, but wouldn't be so quick to write him off personally! 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
