Unbelievable1
{Ed002's Note - There is very real interest from China and his agent has spoken with Chelsea, Juventus, PSG and Barcelona again to see if they can get one of the clubs to start chasing Bayern so he can use it as leverage for a pay rise. he may well have spoken to Arsenal and potentially Liverpool as well. Clubs won't get drawn in to that sort of scenario and Bayern are miffed at him because of this and some unreasonable demands. Out of the clubs approached Juventus might just bite. Bayern are unhappy with what is happening with both him and Coman right now.}

cheers thanks for the quick reply.

{Ed002's Note - You are welcome - Bayern want to keep him but will not be held to ransom. His future there (poster Ribery) should be good. But right now he is becoming a major pain.}

would be nice to have another true winger along with Mane and if not I think we could revisit Salah as he's been really good at Roma speaking of which he scored twice today. Need the pace as without Mane we lack this desperately.

Champions league is huge if we want to sign players of this calibre.

what's happening with coman that is making them unhappy?

Hi Ed002 - as you mentioned Coman what is the situation with him? Am I right in thinking he is on loan from Juventus? If so do Bayern have an agreement to purchase him when his loan is up or will he simply head back to Juve? Just curious as 2-year loans for talented players rarely take place.

Will do now Ed.

I'd love either of those players, excellent and dangerous goalscoring wingers with a good cross on them and lightning speed. Would also help aleviate some of our CM troubles by allowing Coutinho to drop back and act as playmaker in the middle.

Hi eds, just wondering if Real did come in for coutinho (which I doubt) would we look at taking Isco in the deal as a possibility or is that just my wishful thinking?
Many thanks
Henlow red.

We have little chance of attracting players of his calibre Henlow let alone stumping up his wages.

Calibre? He is pretty much at the same level as the likes of Tadic or even Khazri!
He is not this world class talent that the media would have you believe. Good player, but very over rated and certainly not too good for us!

The first thing Couts. would be taught in Madrid is if there is contact on you in the box you go down. Make the ref make a decision
Not like on Sunday.
Its not proper but that's modern football.

With the papers now saying real will target coutinho to replace modric how likely are we to keep hold of him this summer especially with Barcelona also waiting in the wings.
I doubt he will stay especially if we miss out on top 4 which is a real possibility if the players do not wake up and smell the opportunity in front of them. They should be super focussed and switched on at this stage of the season considering the prize at the end of it.
No doubt you are all as frustrated as me at the result yesterday but realistically what could klopp have done about it. Aside from those that started who else could he have brought in aside from the kids.
The only thing i could queation is If either of our centre backs were not 100% he maybe should have considered Gomez instead of playing injured defenders. But if you go out on the field you are able to play to even that's not an excuse.

The 'papers' and you clearly haven't seen Modric or Real play for some time. He hasn't played as an attacking midfielder or a winger, the two areas Coutinho plays, since 2010. If Real want him, he'd be replacing James Rodriguez, Bale or Isco - not Modric.

Well if they are selling and modric and replacing him with coutinho then maybe there happy with casmerio and kross in the centre and will add a new number 10.
Or thag coutinho could play alsongside one of them like everyone on here has suggested. (Playing in our cm)
