There's obviously a lot of speculation surrounding the possible departure of Couthino in the Summer.

Heard an interview with Graham Hunter this morning, he mentioned Couthino to Barcelona is very much a real possibility and that the club is looking at potential replacements.

Question for the Ed's, does this bloke Hunter have much credibility when it comes to potential transfers in and out of Spain?

{Ed001's Note - nope.}

ed can Barcelona pay the money Liverpool what for him.

{Ed001's Note - depends on far too many things to be sure. Depends on who they sell, who will lend them money, who is president etc etc.}

Interestingly balague doesn't think Barcelona would want to commit that level of investment to coutinho if they were to keep their front 3.

{Ed001's Note - you could have stopped at the word think.....}

I think if it does get to the stage whereby we enter negotiations to sell him, we should really think about his value. I personally think we should have sold Suarez and for more and we shouldn't make that mistake again.

@MK The Donald will infact build a wall around coutinho and make Barcelona pay for it, so he will be with liverpool forever!

Actually Barcelona and Real are no longer centre of European football powess when the $ is all in England. Coutinho should stay put as in coming seasons many world top soccer stars will be plying their trade right here. I mean who knows messi suarez neymar could be here if money men have their ways.

I cannot see where would be a fit for coutinho or where would be willing to pay the money in footballing terms to be honest.

Barcelona, madrid, paris, munich, all much more exotic and plush places to be than liverpool, that's for sure.

But how many of those teams really need coutinho? Where would he fit in? Is his incredibly direct style of play a fit for any of them? Bayern perhaps makes the most sense, barcelona would not as he is not, in my opinion, the answer to an ageing iniesta.

As for real, no player should be enouraged to go there until perez has gone, they are nothing short of a footballing soap opera. PSG play in a terrible league and coutinho is better than that, he should strive for more. I can't see juventus coming in either.

Really only bayern makes sense for coutinho and even then, would they pay the money?

I don't see it as a feasible transfer for Barca? What are we talking, 60,70 million? Barcelona don't have attacking problems. Now I'm not saying they don't want him, who wouldn't want him? But I don't see it as a transfer Barcelona will make this summer.

If psg came in for him and we are winning things and in champions league then I don't see why couts would swap here for Paris?

barca want him to replace inestia and neymar has been putting the ground work in, the lesson we should learn from the suarez situation is to make sure we get our number 1 target before we allow him to leave, in the meantime let's just enjoy him while he is here.
