Ed002 seems you was correct about us perhaps watching bellarabi, reports in Italy saying inter and others have stepped back due to "formidable" competition from Liverpool.

Ive read he has a low release clause, but that won't make a difference as we paid double firminos release clause.

23 Mar 2016 19:42:11
Wasn't Firminos release clause only applicable to other German clubs?

23 Mar 2016 20:02:17
That's correct DecG.

24 Mar 2016 04:30:21
I'm sure ed002 said that Firmino had a *buyout* clause, not a release clause.

Why all the disagree clicks? Go and search for yourselves.

Whatever Firmino's clause, he was a steal!

Eds, has the situation changed with Coutinho regarding leaving if we don't get champions league? Looks out of reach from a league perspective this year. It would be sad to see him go. I know Barcelona previously had interest, not sure that they need him. It would not be an easy task to replace the influence he has on the team.

{Ed002's Note - The club are aware of what Coutinho told three international team mates and are also aware that both Porto and Bayern Munich watched Coutinho on May 10 last year. It is also correct that Barcelona have had Coutinho watched on at least a couple of occasions this season but with Arda Turan playing in a similar position and Alen Halilovic returning from loan in the summer I am not sure the he will be a priority for them. Right now I would expect him to stay but if Liverpool do look to another first pick attacking midfield player then space needs to be found in the squad.}

Would you take Gotze over him ed?

{Ed002's Note - Where does Goetze come in to any of this?}

23 Mar 2016 19:22:38
He doesnt, was just after your opinion mate that's all. A what if i suppose.

23 Mar 2016 20:30:00
Thanks, Ed2! Much appreciated. I prefer Coutinho over Gotze LFC. I think the difference in our team when Coutinho is on form is immense.

23 Mar 2016 20:49:09
Ed, say hypothetically Porto were interested would they really be able to afford him?

I didn't think Portuguese clubs had that sort of money.

{Ed002's Note - Yes they could.}

coutinho can join texeira in china and hope a offer like 60mil comes from china. will bite the hand off and use 20 mil to buy new reus, new aubameyangs, kagawas, hummelses.

24 Mar 2016 07:54:22
I'd be very disappointed losing Coutinho to a team like Porto. Its hard to keep players from that small group of clubs that realistically can compete at the very top level but to lose him to a club that really does little more than make up numbers when it comes to the CL. wouldn't be happy.

24 Mar 2016 14:05:10
leekuanyew,

is there no pleasing you, Couthino is one of our best players if not our best player, but you would sell him for a player who might take a season to get used to the prem a bit like firmino, also the players you mentioned might not do well in the prem just because they are good in germany does not mean they will be good in the prem just look at the likes of other big names who have come to the prem and could not cut it here, or took a season to get used to it, so it would mean we would struggle for another season, couths is settled and playing really well, plus imagine where we would be in the league if you took out his goals and assists this season, beside him and firmino there's no goals coming from any were else in the team but hey it won't matter as long as we get a big named player, what your not seeing is the big teams that are looking at couthino which means to them he is a big name player where you think he is not a big name player, look at leicester they don't have any big name players but they are at the top of the prem and look like they will win it, man city with all their big names won't win the prem so just because you want players who have reached the top in a different country does not mean they will make it big here or help us win anything,

Hi ed002. I read something about our scouts being impressed by American Bobby wood. While I find it difficult to believe, could you please tell me who he has attracted the interest of?

{Ed002's Note - Union Berlin's Hawaiian Bobby Wood is wanted in the summer by Hamburg with Kaiserslautern, Bayer Leverkusen and St. Pauli all being impressed enough to send scouts on more than one occasion to watch him this season.}

23 Mar 2016 13:31:23
Thank you Ed.

No disrespect meant at all, but he's from Hawaii, not Hawaiian. Hawaiian is a race, not a nationality, and represents the identity of a race and culture that remains a minority even in it's own land. Again, no disrespect, just helping to spread knowledge as a Native Hawaiian myself.

On a side note. probably a fabricated story about an American based in Germany, not fancied by his German national team manager, and then linked to a club in an English-speaking country with a German manager. Would love it to be true, but I don't believe in miracles. just Leicester winning the league apparently. Apologies for the tangent. Up the reds.

{Ed002's Note - Thank you for the correction.}
