That Zaniolo is better than Coutinho today, in 2024 (obviously), or that Zaniolo 'isn't up to it' (debatable, depends what 'it' is I suppose)? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 the unfortunate problem is that Coutinho can just not be relied upon, i dont believe he ever finished 90 minutes for villa. A real shame as he had some unbelievable performances in some of his short cameos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A real shame as he had some unbelievable performances in some of his short cameos. He actually had a pretty consistent run when he first joined, after that first international break between middle of Feb to middle of March he started every game and his minutes were 77, 90, 90 85, 80, 76, 90, 90. He was never injured under Gerrard. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess if you can't have your photo taken at Gas Street Basin, that's a close second. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds worse than it is. Wages have been covered for this season and next by the Qatar club. We just have to sell him after that or loan him out again for the remaining 12 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted April 30 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30 Looks like he's been playing quite regularly in Saudi. Maybe we will get an offer if anyone wants a big name. His book value is about £8m now and you can subtract whatever loan fee we got from that. With a bit of luck and a fair wind we might even get a FFP profit and his wages off the books. Qatar or MLS? Another year in Saudi won't harm us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
