Italian journalist on Talkshite at the moment confirmed that we made an offer for Coutinho in the early days of January and immediately withdrew our interest when Inter were looking for around 11 million.

For Villa, see Wigan.

Supermarket cheap.

  1. Liverpool have agreed an £8.5m deal for Inter Milan's Brazilian midfielder, Philipe Coutinho. The 20-year-old is expected to travel to Merseyside early next week for a medical and Liverpool will need to apply for a work permit before the deal can be completed.

Shit - €10m for him. 3 or 4 years ago we'd have been able to afford that. Except MON would have preferred someone who was 28 and already played in the Premier League!

 

About what we agreed for Ireland isn't it. On he will probably be on less wages too.

Could afford it now, Benteke cost a similar amount? Also Lambert spent £24m in the summer.... mainly on lower league players that can't even beat lower league teams :huh:

Must be a reason why a poor Internazionale-side ship him out to Liverpool?

 

He is just 20 years old and they must have concluded he is not going to make it for whatever reason. 10 games (out of 21) this season, 7 as a substitute and 2 where he was subbed out as well.

 

Of course, if he came here I would have been mildly optimistic about a player with a certain flair to him, but now that he is going to Liverpool I hope he is a booming fiasco and a waste of money :)

On the other hand Ireland had shown he could cut in the PL and was still a waste of money. In terms of exposing the club to risk Coutinho is a bigger liability than Ireland was.
