Barcelona are talking to Coutinho's agent over a potential move in the summer.

This move is just a matter of time. I think it would take 60 million. It may depend on champions league football whether it's this summer or the summer after, i hope he stays another season, has a belter and sticks 20 million on his price tag then we get max Meyer as a replacement. Or neymar wants to play with coutinho that badly he joins the pool. He does on FIFA.

I noticed that the big contract renewal that couts signed doesn't kick in till the 1st of July so if he were to go to Barcelona we wouldn't be paying the muted 200k a week for very long. I only mention it because we did something very similar with Suarez just before we moved him on, preparing to get as much money as possible?

Why do Barcelona want to sign Coutinho's agent? 😄.

Selling Coutinho for 60m when u see what is paid for other players the last couple years would be a disgrace. If Martial is worth 80m euro, or higuain at 29 is worth 90m euro, we should be looking at 3 digits to even consider it. doesn't help with money if u can't replace the player with similar quality.

Who sais they are in talks please?

25 Mar 2017 18:41:25
If he goes then as long as the club get as much as possible and buy of equal or better quality then that's as much as we can hope for.

Agree9 Disagree0

Coutinho spotted speaking to Suarez and Neymar. Coutinho linked with Barcelona. who was the genius that wrote that one up. Everyone knows of previous interest from Barcelona. Whether they follow up on it or not given his recent form is another story.

Agree6 Disagree0

If we can get around 60 million for Coutinho, then the club could replace him with 2 quality players in Brandt and Dembele without spending any extra cash. That will do for me. Enough money would thus be available to sign 2 fullbacks and a CB.

Agree5 Disagree4

26 Mar 2017 08:17:13
If LFC get 60m for him then every possible replacement will suddenly cost 60m as well same as the Andy Carroll situation. Replcement would need to be done before Coutinho deal confirmed.

Agree5 Disagree4

26 Mar 2017 08:50:41
James Rodriguez as replacement?

Agree3 Disagree9

26 Mar 2017 09:57:06
Aren't Barcelona supposed to be a bit skint?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona need to sell to buy and that is what they are planning.}

26 Mar 2017 10:01:40
I really hope it is not James Rodriguez who replaces Couts. Not suited to the pace of the BPL and plays in a position that is non existent in Klopp's current system. Utter waste of money if that happens.

Agree7 Disagree1

26 Mar 2017 11:00:22
Would absolutely love it if we could replace coutinho with insigne on the left.

Agree3 Disagree8

26 Mar 2017 11:48:13
I'd hope we get a lot more than £60m.

Agree3 Disagree1

I see a lot of these rumours today about Ivan Rakitic plus some money to Liverpool for Coutinho. To be honest, I don't recall many player plus money, for player trades, but we always see a lot of these rumours around the transfer windows. Do this stuff ever happen?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - It will be one rumour posted in several places in all probability.

Players do occasionally get included as part of a transfer and it is often the case will offer several different players as an option, see what response the other side says and then talk to the player.}

26 Mar 2017 16:38:32
Rakitic turned 29 recently, I'd be suprised if we entertained Barcelona trying to offset coutinhos price with him. I'm sure there are a few players we might like though perhaps rafinha?

Agree2 Disagree2

26 Mar 2017 16:47:21
If they do take coutinho, what they going to do with Rafinha. Can we have him pretty please.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - Try the Barcelona page.}

24 Mar 2017 22:09:32
Word in the grape vine is that dembele of Celtic has turned down another offer to join Chelsea as he is seeking regular football elsewhere, in your opinion eds are we an option he could go for I we are to make an offer obviously, and do you think he would be a replacement for origi who is growing frustrated at non regular football? Would dembele be our only striker signed in your opinion?

Believable1 Unbelievable1

{Ed002's Note - No. He wants a guarantee of being first pick and that won't suit most clubs. I had no idea about Origi's frustration. If Klipperty is so stupid to offer that to him it is obviously an option.}

25 Mar 2017 00:05:03
I can see us offering him first pick as at this moment we do not have an out and out first choice striker, we do in origi, but it's obvious klopp does not have full trust in him, dembele would be a good buy imo but not as our main man, but who knows what zee German has planned.

Agree0 Disagree10

25 Mar 2017 08:40:04
Surely Firmino is our first choice striker. I'm basing this on the fact that when fit he starts as our striker. Hence being first choice.
So not sure where the idea that we don't have a first choice striker comes from.

Agree9 Disagree1

25 Mar 2017 08:59:21
Would love DEmbele at the club. Would cost close to 30 million but from what i have seen, he is a pure striker who knows how to score all sorts of goals. Sure, Firmino and Origi have their plus points but neither are prolific and every top team needs a pure finisher in their squad.

Agree4 Disagree3

25 Mar 2017 10:01:15
I think it will depend on outgoings.
If Coutinho is sold, that leaves space for a first team player.

Agree4 Disagree5

25 Mar 2017 13:06:30
Either Firmino or Coutinho are possible outgoings this summer, depending on whether we get into the CL.

And we don't know whether the interest in Coutinho from PSG will turn into an actual offer that is acceptable- especially given his very poor performances since his injury.

But if Firmino was moved into a slightly deeper role, Klopp might like the option of playing a dedicated and good quality lone striker, and going back to the 4231 he often used at Dortmund.

But to promise Dembele that he will start in x number of games per season (regardless of his form) would in my opinion be a major mistake.
A manager always has to keep the ultimate option of dropping any player who is not performing, for whatever reason.

Scoring for fun in Scotland is one thing but stepping up to the premier league is another.

Agree8 Disagree1

25 Mar 2017 22:40:37
30 million for a proven striker in the championship and Scottish premiership, I'd rather buy him from Southampton for 55 million when he's done it in the premiership.

Agree2 Disagree4

26 Mar 2017 09:16:52
Firminio is not a natural striker. Let Coutinio go to Barcelona and let firminio drop back in as an AM. Spend cash on dembele (if that's the best option available) and use the remainder of the cash to add more quality to the squad.

Surely it isn't where but how he is scoring that should be the decider. A player who gets in the right places at the right time and takes the chances will do that most places. Chances are being created every week, the problem is the players aren't always in the right place or don't have the natural finishers instinct. A player who does those adds to the team.

Agree0 Disagree1

Typical to just lay into Sturridge, huh?

Agree3 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - I don't get the hate for Sturridge, it is not his fault England were run by a moron with a chip on his shoulder and caused a bad injury that has affected him ever since. He is one of the most professional players we have ever had at the club, he just is nowhere near fit mentally. The club have not handled him well, pushing him into the team before sorting out his issues, then wondering why he doesn't perform at his best! Doesn't help that we have some fans so keen to abuse one of our best players for something that is not his fault.}

26 Mar 2017 16:21:15
I feel for Sturridge as he's as good as Aquero when he's fit (IMHO) and at his best and he's always conducted himself as a model pro, but the injuries have taken so much out of him that it's hard to argue against selling him and bringing someone else in.

Agree2 Disagree1

26 Mar 2017 16:49:46
As good as aguero, lol that's a good one, milner is better than maldini at lb aswell.

Agree0 Disagree2

26 Mar 2017 18:12:53
As a finisher Sturridge when he's fit and on form is as good.

Agree2 Disagree0

27 Mar 2017 10:53:59
Sturridge is a wimp! Won't play with any sort of niggle. He's also lazy. Should have sold him in the summer we've had the best out of him.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - And there we go again - the so called Liverpool fans trashing the players. Maybe the team would do better if they did not have to put up with the sustained abuse from people like you?}

28 Mar 2017 11:53:32
That's football fans for you're everywhere, Ed. Not just Liverpool fans. Primarily, we respond to what we see on the pitch rather than rumours behind closed doors about his mental state, which I'll take your word for.

No doubt, Sturridge is a top player when fit. But that seems to be increasingly few and far between these days. If anything, I'd say most fans have been pretty patient with him.

Me, I like him a lot. Clearly not ideal for the way Klopp sets up but is clearly our best finisher and had never done anything to make me question his character or attitude.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - No, the Liverpool fans are by a mile the worst. Sturridge will move on in the summer, I have no doubts. Then there can be someone else for the fans to trash.}
