Are we saying Coutinho flopped now? He was still a great player. He got Fabregas'd. i.e. played out of position to accomadate Messi. It's like the reverse Rakitic. Mediocre player gets played in a perfect spot for him and looks world class.
Increasingly frequent Blooter man was maybe the last of the traditional CAMs before De bruyne's coming, and he was instead played as a regular CM. I can think of half a dozen great players who would have flopped at that Barca including DeBruyne.

there's no fricking universe where £130m for Coutinho makes sense, even if you like the player, anon.

Barca convinced themselves that Coutinho was the perfect replacement for Iniesta, and they could have a perfect new tiki taka midfield trio with bisquets, rakitic and coutinho and never have to adapt.
His dad could move to Spain without his son. Just sayin'. It's not normal for footballers to base their career decisions on where their parents want to live.
Meh. They've bought well this last season and been quite good despite the turnover. Even if they dont send Klopp off with a trophy they could sell diaz and Salah for big $$ and set the new manager up with a really good squad and a lot of money to spend.
huge decision
This just in: Barcelona has money again somehow because they just do okay
Liverpool, the stepping stone club to the real elites
suarez, xabi and mascherano were the only times these "stepping stone" transfers ever worked out all the others flop yet clubs keep poaching them
for every Suarez there are 10 picrel
generally if a Top6 EPL side is selling for big bucks, you dont want to be buying

small if lie
He has made a big decision. He has made a huge decision. He has made a decision.
its over la
>barça trying to compete with PSG over transfers.
kek.
I really hope he doesn't leave liverpool, going to barca is career suicide.
Apparently his Dad has moved to Liverpool to avoid getting kidnapped again, and now he's getting depressed and wants to live somewhere nicer.
I don't blame his, he's living in emgland after all. At least Barrancas is warm and the food is actually good lol.
Odd how that continuously happens to South Americans there.
CHI
That poster just made that up, been no indication of it
Yea yea yea what else is new, come vist me in copalib.

Please take him, sick of his inconsistent as frick finishing. He has a lower conversion rate than Nunez this season.
I hope we can meme Saudis or PSG into overpaying, and give Slot a proper budget
Salah will leave aswell, be ready Liverpool to be the next united
