Hi everybody, long time reader, first time poster. So here goes my 2 cents.
My take on the Coutinho replacement shambles. We need to buy a big name player to replace the big gaping void (quality) that Coutinho has left. The team morale is down and if we don't replace him now and don't qualify for Champions League, then the quality of player we can attract in the summer will be lower. I don't believe players are not available, money talks full stop, and we have £145M to invest for a replacement which might not make us stronger then we were in Dec but at least the hierarchy have been pro active. We can't be seen as a selling club, need to show money ambition and power. So the Reals and FCB's can't just wake up in the morning a decide to take our best players. They won't be able to do this to City or Utd, and we used to be bigger than both.
Clubs that win silverware don't care about spending over the top, if it's the right quality player, I don't care if they spend £20M or more extra to get him over the line, it's not my money.
The owners need to back the manger to the hilt or if they don't have the stomach, just take your profit and sell the club to someone who can compete with your Man City and Utd every step of the way because they can attract player and the last time I checked the were not in London.

Didn't know we had a Coutinho replacement shambles. When did this happen exactly?

So throw money recklessly to buy anyone just to fill the gap?

Slowdog, And when the player flops, these same people will be moaning about how Klopp should have just waited for who he really wanted instead of panic buying that way, they are always right and Klopp is always wrong. Talk about having it your own way 3o times over.
