If couts does make a public plea to leave as is being rumoured, I don't see a way back for him. I can see a situation where he is gone and we don't have anyone else coming in until January. The club have made a mess of what should have been a great summer.

Did Suarez shut himself out the team when he tried pushing a move to Arsenal? Players come and go, get led by there agents at times and make stupid decisions. If every player "had no way back" after wanting to move then there would have been a lot more transfers in the history of the game.

{Ed002's Note - Suarez threatened legal action against the club.}

He sure did but at least he didn't get his mummy to phone in sick for him - I'm joking.
Look, nobody knows what's going on behind the scenes.
How do we know for example if he and Klopp genuinely did or did not fall out over the Summer? We don't.
It's very simple in my book, if a fair offer comes in with straight up payments, let him go.
I know it's unpopular to say it but the lad is human, he has childhood dreams he wants to live out.
I know we'll be weaker unless he's replaced but sometimes we need to see the bigger picture.
I believe we would let him go if a fair offer is made, so in my book it's Barcelona who need to make this right not us.
We in turn should fix the situation with Southampton and Van Dijk if we can - overpay if needed as we have messed them and the player about.

Let's face it, your average footballer isn't that sharp and they are easily led by their agents, who at the end of the day are after money alone. They are young men being manipulated by sharks. One club men like Carra and Le Tissier are few and far between. Enjoy them while that stay, and respect them afterwards if they deserve it.

Let Coutinho go that's what I think, we've done fine without him so far so take the money (as long as price is right) and re invest in 3 players, CB, CM and winger. If we could bring in VVD or Koulibaly defence is stronger, If we bring in Keita for CM yes we lose the creativity of Pipco but Keita might well turn out to be an absolute world beater and bring in Ox because Klopp likes him and he'd fit our system. For me signing 3 players like the above 3/ 4 mentioned we're a stronger side.

Good thing you don't run the club, RedTed. Cos next time, it will be Bobbie, then Mane throwing the same crap up just to get a move. Then, what do you do then? How do we compete by selling our best players w/ o putting up some fight to keep them at least for a couple more season, all cos they threw a pathetic tantrum? If you really think we can do w/ o Cou esp. w/ o a replacement in sight then, you are leaving in an alternate reality.

BingoRed let's be honest Coutinho doesn't want to be at the club I can't see him playing to the level he did last year despite it being a World Cup year. He's handed in a TR so there is the desire to leave the club yes he's one of our best players but when a better team come after players they usually get their man. Mane and Firmino haven't asked to leave so that's irrelevant.

There will be interest in Mane but I genuinely think he'll stay at the club for many years to come because he is the one player that can take us to the next level imo not Coutinho. We compete by improving other areas of the team, if Coutinho goes which he probably will imo by singing a CB who's better than we currently have, a CM who has the potential to be a world class player (Keita) and someone to add extra depth and quality Ox we're a better team than Coutinho staying and only signing one of those players. I know what I'd rather have and that's having players 100% committed to the club!

Bingo red Coutinho should leave because he isn't 100% committed to the club and won't be again. I feel like we might as well get as much money as we can and te invest in some quality players, Redted is right when he says we'll be stronger for it. I personally would like to see VVD, Keita/ Seri and Ox. Maybe even Lanzini could come in. We lack depth that is my biggest concern so for me sell Coutinho and bring in 3/4.

Let him go and reinvest the money? Have you been living under a rock lfcleon? We can't invest the money we have never mind what ever they want to pay for coutinho, we are a complete shambles of a club, an embarrassment.
