Coutinho is probably on 4 times what Barkley was earning? Wouldn't it cost us upwards of 5-6 million to pay his wages for half a season? Even just in financial terms we could invest that in a way that we could later get a return I would think, we've been doing well buying lots of young talent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he wants to be playing for the World Cup. Impressive that they managed to even make a highlight video considering he only played 608 minutes of football in total during 2021.

CAM but drifts left (or I suppose, left and drifts Central). He's Probably ideal for our set up to be fair. I'm not sold on it but could be like adding Jack(although very different players) back into the mix. In the way he drifts out and will want to cut back in, very different but think he could suit Gerrard's narrow-10 system well.

If he plays a big part in getting us a few places further up the table than we otherwise might have done then yes. if he comes and is half arsed and doesn't give monkeys whilst being on vastly more money than anyone else in the shirt it could be disruptive and fail.

Our main shirt sponsorship, our kit maker and our sleeve sponsorship all expire this summer. Gerrard and Coutinho's wages might just pay for itself with increased sponsorship revenue due to the extra exposure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
