Surely at Coutinho age he will want to play a better standard football than the French league.

Mighty,
There's a Brazilian core, however great Liverpool is, the attraction of life in Paris is huge, he could double his salary and would have not only Champions League football, but a chance of winning it.
The only way we could persuade him not to leave for PSG would be the Suarez-esque Barcelona or Real will come in next summer if you stay.

Gerard the persuader? Wtf he didn't persuade suarez to stay he just likes to think he did, if i remember correctly it was lucas who persuaded suarez to stay for another season not Gerard! If klopp can't convince him to stay then cut him loose thanks for the service and all the best to him in his future, if he doesn't try and leave by being an idiot etc then why should he be slated? Anyway he hasn't gone yet so he might stay.

Neither of you can even spell Gerard, so neither of you had the right to pass judgement. Only bants lads, don't take it to heart.

The 'replace one great player with a few decent ones' approach really worked when we sold Suarez didn't it? Neither did it work when we replaced Torres with. ummm. Carroll. Keep Coutinho - he is 23 for god's sake! Sell him to Barcelona for 50m and watch him thrive as Suarez has done? No thanks. That was how Rodgers and King Kenny operated. Pretty sure Klopp knows a gem when he sees one.

Sydneyred,
A) Coutinho is not on the level Suarez was the season he left. I think Suarez scored 31 league goals then and Couts got 7 this year. He's a great player but not on that level.
B) Klopp has shown he knows a gem when he sees one at BVB, you are right. Hence, if he sold Couts I'm confident he'd replace him adequately.
You may say this buying lots of young players rather than one marquee player to replace outgoing stars doesn't work, but from Suarez we now have Emre Can and Divock Origi- the spine of our starting XI for years to come. Sure, we didn't replace Suarez's goals and creativity in the short term but can that not be attributed to Sanchez rejecting us?
I love Coutinho as much as the next man, but unlike Suarez was, Couts is not irreplaceable. If PSG offered £60million I'd have to say thank you very much and be off.
We don't want to be a selling club, I get that, but from a financially sensible point of view we'd be getting a good price for an inconsistent player who may not be completely committed to the club. Not to bash the lad in any way.
