Press saying this morning that Racatic plus cash for Coutinio. If this is true snatch their hands off. I have rated Racatic as one of the best players in the Barcelona team for years.

His work rate is outstanding and if we manage to get keita that would give the creativity lost through losing Coutinio.

Coutinio has been a great player for us, but if he does want the move let him go. No player is bigger than LFC and I think Racatic will offer a lot more to the team and the way Klopp plays would be the perfect fit.

You rate him so highly but can't spell his name right? No matter how good Rakitic may be he is entering the twilight of his career, if we do end up replacing Couts it needs to be with someone who's career is on an upwards curve.

The only Barcelona players i'd take would be either Messi or Neymar but that'll never happen. I don't see why we'd want any Barcelona players in exchange. We haven't shown any interest in any, we'd be exchanging our best player for cash and possibly a couple of fringe under performing players. Have you seen the Barcelona team? take out the front three and possibly Iniesta it looks bang average to me. Any part exchange with Barcelona would be good for them not us.

Wind your neck in Mr Putney.

What do you want to do, give him a detention?

£80m plus Rakitic. Not the worst deal.

Davey, you don't find it weird that someone claims strong opinions about a player but doesn't even know how to spell their name? It reeks of 'i just heard of this player yesterday but want to pretend I'm more knowledgeable than I am'.

Putneyred I find your comments unjust. I sincerely wholeheartedly apologise to you for misspelling the name incorrectly. But just because my spelling of his name is incorrect does not mean I do not know the player and do not rate him.

I do not claim to be knowledgeable i am just a LFC fan who loves this site so thought i would share my thoughts.

I did not realise that a spelling mistake makes me unknowledgeable and that I only heard of a player yesterday.

I surely hope we don't get linked with the Polish bloke from
Bayern coz your head will explode.

Ad, there is every chance you watch Barcelona regularly and are very familiar with the player. There is also every chance you're just another poster getting over excited by the latest name to be mentioned by the papers, I'll never know but if I were a betting man I'd say you're the latter, if that bothers you so be it. What I do think is that we shouldn't be looking at players who are approaching their 30s, they're short term solutions when we should be building for the long term.

Surely it is a blend of both? Gary Macalister worked out for us ok!
