Considering coutinho is better than pogba then anything less than world record fee and I'd say we've had our pants down again.

Well MR 12+12=21 how much did Kante go for?

Kante isn't an attacking player, typically holding midfielders are not the most glamorous and do not fetch the highest prices.

Having said that, Leicester had their pants down with that one.

We will not get a world record fee for Coutinho.

I would probably take anything over £60m for him tbh.

Problem is if we think replacing couts with brant is moving forward we are in for a shock. It's called regressing.

I don't get the negativity around Brandt.

He plays in a very poor team who have only just avoided relegation this season. 4 years younger than Coutinho, yet he matches him stride for stride in terms of creating goals (8 assists) . Admittedly he only has 4 goals to Coutinho's 11, but you could argue Coutinho gets better service in a team 4th in Europe for creating goal scoring chances.

Brandt deserves a chance. He is one of the most highly rated young players in Europe, being watched by Bayern Munich. We'd do well to sign him and he is easily at the same level Coutinho was when we signed him at a similar age.

If people on here had it there way, we wouldn't have signed Coutinho. We'd have fought it out with Man United to sign Ashley Young because he was "first team ready".

Seriously, lay off Brandt. You clearly don't have a clue who he is, or how good he is.

Spot on, MK. Those who criticize Brandt have clearly NEVER seen him play on a consistent basis as I have. I saw him first at the U20 WC in 2015, then at the Olympics where Germany lost to Brazil in the final and in the Bundesliga and CL this season. The kid is a real talent at just 20 and already part of the Germany setup.

He is lethal with good pace, can play anywhere behind the striker, can shoot with either foot and scores free kicks tho, he operates mainly on the left wing. Bayer also play the high press system like Klopp's gegenpress system so he fit in nicely on that front.

Those spouting about him being not good enough for us need to go watch him and NOT focus on what team he's playing for or where that team lies in the table, as a means to judge him. If that was the case, what is Wiji doing her? I want him here per Ed02, he is interested BUT is not sure if he will play regularly with Couts still first choice.

the posters criticising brandt now are the same ones that said liverpool miss another one when it was said he agreed to sign for bayern which turned out to be BS.

If Coutinho Leaves we should go for Hakim Ziyech at Ajax. Fantastic talent.

I would like to see Brandt join, just not at the expense of Coutinho leaving. let the team remain stable for another year and bring in new players to strengthen the squad by selling those you don't use regularly (Sturridge, Markovic, Sakho, Moreno etc. )

Is brandt an xfactor?

He might be as good as coutinho was 4 yeaes ago but 4 years is a hell of a long time.

Its regressing.

Coutinjo goes then firmino becomes half the player. we lose our only xfactor. we cement the selling team status (suarez, sterling and coutinho)

He cannot leave simple. No matter who we could replace him with.

Anyone remember these conversations when suarez was leaving?
