He should be able to, it's probably on par with the SPL, which is about the same level Coutinho can cope with nowadays. A good loan but a disastrous signing by us. Atleast he has saved the best moment of magic until last by disappearing away from Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Yeah everything else aside, he seems a genuinely lovely bloke and family man. Wishing him the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless we have a massive injury crisis - which unless you are Chelsea you can’t stockpile players for - we are not short where Coutinho plays. Club will add quality when the right player is available at the right fee. Also if we have a massive injury crisis, 90% chance Coutinho os part of it anyway. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Farewell Phil. Thank you for providing a frisson of excitement in an otherwise deeply mediocre season. Unfortunately, that was the best it got. I am not trying to be nasty but I can't think of many other players who have declined so quickly from world-class to average in such a short time. The injuries have sadly got the better of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeepDish Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 I like the fact that we took such a gamble to sign him, but it's the right ting to let him go on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now I think we have some stuff going on behind the scenes. Upcoming results will tell us more, but I think this is going to be a poor season for team progress.

Upcoming results will tell us more, but I think this is going to be a poor season for team progress. Have we arranged for the decorators to come in and this will be what disrupts us? Scenes in the corridor of the tunnel where the teams will be lining up to enter the pitch before kick off, but they will need to mind to not trip over the ladders, paint and protective sheets that are down before heading out to the pitch... Otherwise, I'm not sure where you're going with this "I think there might be a problem behind the scenes" analogy. On the basis of what you're saying, if the next 5 results are all wins, then does that also tell us there is no problem and everything is fine? It's a bit of a bizarre post you've made to be fair. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see “stuff behind the scenes” thing, to me we look the most connected we’ve been in the club and outside for a generation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at the wins vs in the 23 games he played +60. Usual nonsense from many on here as has been for decades about injured players being better than they are the longer they don't play VT in a nutshell.
