Eds reds ed02 has said for a long time- like it or not- couts has been, through his Agent, been agitating for the Barcelona move for months! Why are so many surprised! ! . If True then get as much as we can and sign as good a replacement as possible.

We don't have time to replace him. Most of the players you mention have already swapped clubs or wouldn't come to us. Can't you see it? Technically the window remain open until 31st. But clubs wouldn't want to sell in the last hour making them impossible to find replacement.
All the likes of Kroos, Isco''s and Disco's ain't happening mate.

I'm not at all surprised. It simply consolidates my belief that this we are going to struggle. I have absolutely zero confidence in the people running the club to bring anyone in of sufficient quality to make up for the huge loss to the team, given previous form.

Spot on, Hahaha. We already know that Couts is the one that orchestrated this whole thing and we get that. The issue is that the club is not obligated to play along with this. He signed an extension months ago so why did he sign it if he really wanted to move? This is what I don't understand esp. if the club knew of his orchestration for the move.

We could simply say that you signed a contract hence, you owe us another season. RBL stood their ground regarding so why can't we? Those saying we won't miss him that much afre deluding themselves and learnt nothing from the Suarez and Torres debacle. There are no suitable replacements out there and Lallana is injured. This is another reason why we should definitely NOT sell.
