Thank god we have emery now so this kind of nonsense will stop I wouldn't be surprised. He's a "name" and has some profile in the media, it's one of the reasons we signed him I think, to raise the profile of the club. Too bad he isn't any good and his legs have gone.

I dont think he would go. He has made enough money for the next 5 generations of Coutinhos . He is a decent family man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post El Segundo Posted July 14, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2023 The last time I remember seeing Coutinho play for us was Arsenal at home where, from memory, I thought he had a decent game and took his goal brilliantly. He may not have been as good as we'd hoped based on his initial loan spell, but I certainly don't remember thinking he was a busted flush who should be got rid of asap. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If fit, he could definitely play his part. The issue really is that he's on a big wedge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to move him on ASAP he doesn't deserve the same sort of hatred Lescott and Richards got but I can see it happening if he hangs around on a big wage not contributing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czarnikjak Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Looks like he will never be fit again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 He was injured already though, he got injured end of last season just as he was ready to come back. Probably not fully fit yet but looks close based on the training montage that was posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not fully fit yet but looks close based on the training montage that was posted He's in his 30s now and intensity from his time at Liverpool has significantly dropped so I think that's the big problem with him remaining here. Playing 3-4 days regularly next season and he'll probably continue picking up knocks and being out of squads so I'm not convinced UE will want to keep him for that alone.

In with Hause and Nakamba, available for loan or purchase. I guess Sanson is aswell but guess he's trained well since returning so UE probably thought it would be good to give him some minutes and you never know if we pick up some injuries at CM. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Barca must not have believed their luck when we took his wages from their accounts. We didn't exactly have to beat other clubs to get the signature. The brain is still sharp but the body unfortunately isn't. It makes you wonder what they do in the physicals before signing off on a 4-year multi-million-pound contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, have I missed a joke or am misreading this? You think Steven Gerrard earned three times the salary of Unai Emery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
