Hi all, am just wondering if the Barcelona situation may cause a change in mind for Pipco. The team is not performing, star player has left, Citeh seem convinced Messi will join Pep . Rest of the team aging and other replacements below par . Any views Eds?

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about. He has been courting them for more than a year and doesn't want to play for Liverpool any longer. He wants to move to Barcelona.}

Have you spoke to him Ed? I just wonder why you say he doesn't want to play for Liverpool any longer? Surely if Barcelona won't offer enough for him he will be happy to play for the club he's been happy at for 4 years and just signed a long term contract with? Yes he'd like to go to Barcelona but it seems they don't rate him highly enough to offer the required deal.

{Ed002's Note - You are not seemingly understanding the lengths the player has gone to to get the move he wants. Did your mother repeatedly bang you on the head as a child or are you just stupid?}

can you please elaborate on these lengths, for those of us who do not know . Cheers.

{Ed002's Note - I have spent more than a year explaining to you all. It makes no sense to yet again explain.}

People generally hear what they want to hear. I think a lot of fans never want to believe their best players want to leave, but it's football. Barring something extraordinary Coutinho will leave. Like Owen, Alonso, Mascherano, Torres, Suarez, Sterling and potentially Can. Whether it's money, cups or a mixture of both, they wanted out and forced their way out. Coutinho is no different. Liverpool may have asked Coutinho for another year, but I think he may have given Liverpool that extra year last year.

Only thing that doesn't make sense with what ed002 says is that Coutinho signed a new contract. Why would he do that if he was so sure he wanted to go? And without release clauses. At the time he even saying: Stay here and they will end up building a statue in your honour. Go somewhere else, to Barcelona, to Bayern Munich, to Real Madrid, and you will be just another player.

For me that does not add up with a player that desperately wants to go to Barcelona.

{Ed002's Note - Release clauses? What are you talking about?

Did Coutinho tell Liverpool he wanted to leave when he started courting Barcelona, or were we in the dark, so to speak, until Barcelona started bidding?

{Ed002's Note - Done to death. Go and read the posts.}

And some people haven't been reading the site for a year and therefore are unaware of the whole situation as you don't hear it in the mainstream media. I think the whole thing if he was happy here for 4 years is a valid point.

{Ed002's Note - And are they not bright enough to use the search engine? It gets tiresome for the editors having to repeat themselves over and over again.}

Ed02 has been getting us prepared for this scenario for a yr.
I did believe you Ed02, I just don't think you would of kept saying it just to wind us up.

{Ed002's Note - Sadly many of the others still seemed shocked about it and are in denial.}

Ed002 has said many times that pipco has been courting Barcelona through international team mates and his agent. pretty simple really.

People hear" I'm signing a new deal to hopefully become a legend at lfc etc etc, those words came out of his mouth, so your talking crap, yes he may want to leave but the needs of the club are way more important than his, if this move was a year in the making why did Barcelona wait til the week our season started to bid? He signed his contract, they left it late, they have to deal with that,

{Ed002's Note - I am not "talking crap", it is simply that you are so stupid you can't understand what has been going on for more than a year. The contract is of zero relevance in this matter. Coutinho is desperate to leave and both Klopp and Liverpool know that. Suck it up.}

I don't think we will sell. I have spent the summer convinced that we are just waiting for the right price. However, the tr came way too late in the day. We hold all the cards and have only one reason to sell and that is to keep pc happy. I expect most players would like to play for Barcelona and he can follow his dream next year (if he still wants to go) we don't need the money, Phil has to perform as it's world cup year. I ghink liverpool can go a long way this season with pc in our team. Let's spend this year looking for a suitable replacement and let him go next year.

{Ed002's Note - So I guess you also think with the transfer window still open for another two weeks that it is also too late for Liverpool to buy any players?}

Ed02, I was not replying to you with my comment, I was replying to Sydney's comment about fans hearing what they want to hear, I should have said that at the beginning of my post, I certainly wasn't saying you were talking crap, apologies for the mix up.

{Ed002's Note - No problem.}

Port red, my point proven. Liverpool fans heard Coutinho saying he wants to become a legend bla bla. But chose not to hear that he wants to leave. Even though the editor and other sources have been saying for a long time that Coutinho wants to leave. I remember the Ronaldo saga and I was one of the fans in denial. Anyway it's just football, players come and go, in a year or two it'll be Mane pushing his way out. So chill 😉.
