I just want to point out re Coutinho that he never 'feigned' an injury. All we know is that while his head was being turned by Barce, Klopp said in press conferences that he had a bad back. This was Klopp's decision and whether it was true or whether it was to deflect questions, we will never know. But we also don't know that Coutinho was feigning. So let's take that out of the debate re whether he would be welcome back or not. I for one would welcome him with open arms. His kids are scousers and he'd be a perfect Lallana replacement in the squad.

Yes we do. He pulled me out of the squad because of injury but then went to play for Brazil days later.

Stoneage, I never believed he was injured nor feigned injury. Klopp may have just said that to make an excuse for him not playing the game we had to play at the time. Now, Cou playing for Brazil three days afterwards, just made the situation awkward, something that in the bigger scheme of things, does not really matter, IMO.

Now as for whether we would welcome him back or not, I personally think that Klopp has moved on from him and made us a much better, more complete, and more consistent outfit. We are a more well-rounded team than when he was here with players committed fully to what the manager wants and why would Klopp want to mess that up by getting him back? I don't see it. I think we need to move on from him cos frankly, he ain't worth the trouble. He made his bed and he should lie in it.

Again, it was Klopp's choice to pull him from the squad. Perhaps protecting him for what was turned out to be a lucrative sale for us. Saying he had an injury is modern gamesmanship to keep the media at bay. You don't know the conversation at Melwood between Klopp and Coutinho and there's no evidence that Coutinho feigned.

He did fake an injury but so did VVD so we can’t really have a go at couts then praise VVD for coming to us. I would have him back because I don’t think we have the money to buy him that’s the only reason. Am sure there cheaper options out there.

Cheaper and much much better options out there.

I wouldn’t want to see him playing for ManU or Chelsea.

As far as I'm aware he was out for Barcelona when he joined. I think he missed a good few games if I'm remembering correctly.

I'd love to see him at Man United. I can't think of anything that would make me cheer louder than Fabinho, Gomez, Trent, Robbo and Virgil wiping him out time and time again at least twice a season.

I don’t think Coutinho would join Utd.
PSG, perhaps Germany?
Does Messi have the position that Coutinho would otherwise occupy in any other team?

Wilson can replace Lallana Stone age, Coutinho was a great player for us but if we're going to spend huge money on somebody it should be to make the 11 stronger and to do that by buying Couts he'd have to be bought to play in the middle 3.

Salah
Coutinho Firmino. Mane
Keita Fabinho
Robertson VanDijk Gomez A. Arnold
Alisson

He is the missing piece of the jigsaw.

That's a terrible shout MK, he's top draw as you well know, United is the last place I'd personally want to see him end up.

Who cares? He had the chance to part of something special and he chose not to. Fate will sort the rest out.

I wish the lad all the best but we have to move on, without him. The club and the shirt are more important than any individual and always will be.

The best player in the world is useless to us if he doesn’t believe in the team, a player who wants to run through brick walls for the team is priceless.

Waro, each to their own. I'm leaning the other way though. It's a game, and it's just a job to him. It wouldn't be personal and even if it was, who cares? I thought we called the Blue half "bitter"?

Don't we want the top draw players in the Prem? Don't you want to beat our rivals at their best? It's a bit of a sham to hope all our rivals are so weak we win by default.

Coutinho is just one of thousands of footballers in the world and he has nothing to do with us anymore. I honestly don't care what he does because "We've got Mane! "

😂 sorry forgive the typo!

We do however have Ed001’s word for it and i take his word over anybody else’s when it comes to matters at Liverpool.

I wouldt want any player back who forced his way out of the club. Torres, Masch, Suarez, Coutinho, etc. I don't wish any ill-will on them as it is a game and a job after all but there's something that grates with me about the thought of any of them feeling that Liverpool were not good enough in the first place.
Some midfielders would play with two broken legs for LFC, others would skip matches with a ‘sore back’.

I think there’s a big difference between the players mentioned:
1) Suarez - brought shame on the club, would never be welcome back
2) Mascherano - completely disrespected the club and the fans.
3) Sterling - see Mascherano, as well as being a greedy PoS.
4) Coutinho - feigned injury
5) Torres - put in a transfer request.

I don’t have a problem with Torres at all. I don’t see anything wrong in his actions. He wanted to leave, he put in a transfer request. That’s the right way to go about it.

Torres did nothing wrong. We were a sinking ship at the time and i’m pretty sure Gerrard is on record as telling Torres to leave for the sake of his career.

Suarez was a little weasel BUT at the very least he gave his all in that very last season once he realised we weren’t going to budge.

Sterling let the club know 6 months in advance he didn’t want to sign a new contract and i find it hard to believe that Rodgers’ disastrous management didn’t have a large part in that.

Mascherano and Coutinho both forced their way out and demanded that the club let them both go on spot without warning. I have no time for either of them.

Let's hope man united sign couthinho koubabaily and several other top class players then MK, they can comfortably outspend us and start winning league after league after league again. Im sure with you not being bitter that you will just shrug and say "oh well they're a class team good luck to them", you've written two quite awful posts here mate which is unlike you. My guess is you work with or have friends who support man u who maybe wound you about buying couthinho and your fronting that your not bothered about him going there. Call me bitter if you want MK, I don't want him at united and I'd love nothing more than to see them drop down the league like a stone.
