The Official Liverpool FC Thread [Vol 11]

Coutinho has said him and his family are very happy on Merseyside, he had no intention of moving at this stage in his career and he enjoys playing for Klopp.

So he'll be off then.

Seriously, he's not Suarez; if he wants to go we can sell for a good profit. If he stays, great. Capable of some magic but also just as capable of being invisible/ineffectual. I would think the way Klopp will have the team playing next season will see him and Firmino only getting better.

I don't see any big exits from the club this summer. By that I mean players we want to stay, not Benteke, Skrtel or even the likes of Lucas, Allen and Ibe. The core of the squad, the best players, will want to see who Klopp brings in and continue playing under him.

I chop my balls off if he left us for spurs... never gonna happen, if he leaves it will he to somewhere outside England

Didnt you say this before and then never follow through or was it another one?

[Turquoise]

Leave his balls alone!

[jammy_basturd]

I have no problems selling someone of his talent.

What I do have a problem with is how bad it looks for us to loose the likes of Suarez, Carragher, Gerrard and Coutinho all within a few years. If he goes, who becomes our 'star' player? The one who could become a world beater? We need more players of Coutinho's level before we start selling them. If Gotze had agreed to come, then maybe, but not if we've got no one coming in in his place first.

[Turquoise]

We didn't lose Carragher and Gerrard though. And Suarez is pretty much the best player on earth right now and was always going the Barcelona/Madrid. So I honestly don't think not having them nowadays reflects badly on the club and makes us look like a selling club. The Torres sale did though, and if Coutihno left it would too.

[jammy_basturd]

We lost them to retirement....

The main point is that they no longer play for us, they are no longer a draw for other players and our squad was worse off when they left.

[Turquoise]

I see your point better now. Didn't really grasp it in the original post.

Unfortunately it would seem that Klopp is our star player these days.

[jammy_basturd]

Yea, we can only hope that Klopp manages to turn some of our squad into world beaters like he did at Dortmund.

[Turquoise]

And attract some top players himself. He's the sort of manager that appeals to players, but the sooner we can back it up on the pitch, the better.

Amen to that...

A bizarre quote from Coutinho talking about the copa america "I miss winning cups. Copa América is another opportunity for me, because every player dreams of winning cups.”

The article points out that when he "won cups" at Inter Milan, he wasn't actually playing in any of those finals.

I suspect its just a bad translation. Just the kind of thing journos like to leap on.

It must be difficult for him in the current situation. I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to free himself this summer.

Did you mean to post that about DdG on the Utd topic?

If he has a burning desire to win the French league, then I guess he'll be off.
