Lrrr Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 And yet some people are using Klopp's quote from September saying Coutinho wouldn't be leaving to have a go at him! By the sounds of it they've got Van Dijk, potentially Mahrez being the latest rumour as a replacement and money to spare... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Not that surprising really. When you’re a top club like Barcelona, there’s probably only a pool of 5 players worldwide immediately good enough for your first team in each position. Selling clubs know this, so there’s a premium. Coutinho will become a superstar there in my opinion. Class player who’ll get better in a team like Barcelona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bard Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 You have to say that Liverpool have done a good job here. He is a great player but isn't worth that. My theory is that they know Keita is joining next season as a direct replacement but as Lallana was clearly missing the first half of the season were not going to sell until he was back. Keita + Van Dijk = Countinho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted January 6, 2018 Report Share Posted January 6, 2018 Not sure i would sell him now though would be better in the summer. However 133m profit on a player is good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oxlade in to rotate Henderson, Gigi and Can (who might be off - Keita next season anyway )....wonder if Grujic will cone through too? If Virgil makes a confident start (goal on debut v Everton ain’t bad!) you can see if making Liverpool a lot stronger. All they really need then is a keeper. Finally think Klopp has realised Robertson is a very tidy left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lively, found gaps between the lines, flexible in his positioning, two footed. The future looked bright. Then Wenger stifled him. It wouldn’t be the first English player he’s done this too. Look at Gus Caesar - i’m Joking! There is a player in there, might not be top drawer like Coutinho, but if he finds his old form certainly good enough to be a regular starter in Liverpool’s midfield or wide attacker. More money than I’d have paid, but could be a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keita + Van Dijk = Countinho Countinho - £142 = Van Dijk £75m + Keita £42m + £25m towards Mahrez (potentially) so essentially paying the rest of the Mahrez fee for an extra 2 players.
