He gets to play a lot more games and his new manager is someone he knows well and would probably trust to help get him back on track. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Think this was first mooted a few days back and I thought No Way... But if it's happening then perhaps he can galvanise those around him, think about our young players coming through and learning from Coutinho. It would be incredible for their development. Coutinho needs to rejuvenate his career, Gerrard knows him well, this could be a good move. His role could develop and adapt over the next couple of years if we sign him permanently. 29 is not old for a top footballer, Zlatan, Lewandowski, Messi, Ronaldo, Cavani all still quality.

DJ_Villain Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Don’t want to get too excited… but even on loan, this signing would be a massive statement of intent and would show the kind of pull that Gerrard, Purslow and the club actually have to legitimately world class players who may have “fell by the wayside”… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 I remember we were linked with him back in 2013 before he ended up going to Liverpool. Funny how things (might) work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adman Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Yay. Get it done. It can't not work. He'll either be great, which would be great. He'll be OK which for £6 mill of money that isnt mine is OK. Or he'll be poor, but still raise the profile of the club and it's ambitions higher than the £6mill is going to cost. And I'm getting bored with no signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ferguson1 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Haven’t been this excited since the Darren Bent meltdown of January 2011. All media services went down for several days when the national grid exploded (allegedly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be more in favour if we had an option to buy at a non stupid price once the loan ends. 29 isn't old nowadays really, potentially got 5+ top quality seasons in him. My worries mainly are in how expensive a failure it could turn out to be if it goes wrong. I'd be more inclined to use the money on 2 or 3 players that have the potential to be as good as coutinho, only one of them has to make it....

A'Villan Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Highlights from Barcelona. Still World Class. Buendia and Coutinho together would be ace. Barkley and Grealish was great but this could even take us up a notch, if it happens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, Barkley is exactly the type of haunting vision I have. I can see Coutinho coming here, looking world class for 5 games, and then something goes wrong, and by the end of his spell, all the fans hate him. That would be the Villa way. Yes I'm a real fan. Let me be pessimistic ffs. I'd obviously love us to sign him, just being realistic, these don't always work out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
