Not unrealistic he'd go to London. I'm pretty sure the option to buy means no one else can sign him unless we don't trigger the clause. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwi1890 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 His acceleration, that burst is explosive that and the fact he can see the pass and make decisions quicker than the average player, absolutely world class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. We can trigger the clause and if Coutinho says no he can go where he likes. Barca will sell to the highest bidder. We need to finish the season strong.

However he’s one of the most expensive players in history and I pay £4 a pop to play pretty poorly at Powerleague. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is another club can't just come in and buy him unless he returns to Barca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston_Villan4 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So Gerrard claiming it’s just some cramping and he’s still working up to 100%. Looked like a knee injury but I’m going to hope SG is right about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a knee injury but I’m going to hope SG is right about it. Would sum up the season if he's out for a few weeks now. Never know a season where we have so many talented players in final third but can't get them on the pitch at same time. Bailey has that cameo v Everton and played about 3 games in 5 months since. Traore started one league game this season. If Coutinho can get up to speed to manage full games soon that he can be difference maker in final stages so hopefully that will happen soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Quite clearly Coutinho will be one of the greatest players to wear the shirt in Villa Park for many years. If we can finish top eight (big ask) then we could be in for an exciting summer of transfer activity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerrard has shown already he can sell the club to players. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we negotiated the option properly neither he nor Barca would have a choice and both the fee and the contract have been agreed in advance, we just need to push the button. I just found it odd that Spurs fans seem to think they also have an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I we negotiated an option that could be freely opted out of by both other parties, then it's not really anything of use to us so why in Zeus' beard would we even have bothered if that was the case? I like to believe that we are a little more rational in our business decisions than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 He has the same number of assists and goals in 173 minutes playing for Villa as our last hero has in 1276 playing for the most prolific team in England. This coupled with the rise of Ramsey, has made me so much happier about him leaving. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted February 10, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 10, 2022 I still can't believe Coutinho plays for Villa. I really do hope we manage to keep hold of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Watching back the first half again. Coutinho looks right at home just watching his mannerisms. He looks settled, happy and knows he’s a big part of what Gerrard and Villa want to do. I dont see anything other than the move being made permanent. That was just a world class performance. He is loved again, and I think thats all he wanted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
