.Coutinho is the player which makes everyone around him better, making a team "tick". Mahrez doesn't have that ability.
Good buy, but Coutinho is better.
Nah, it's done mate. The bein sports stuff is on it.
The sheer amount of talk, and there are literally no other teams being mentioned.
It's done. No way I'll be wrong.
Would be good if you hadn't spent all the money..
75m VVD
35m Salah
40m Ox
60m Keita
50m Mahrez
260m
When Liverpool play the fab four, Coutinho usually play in a 3man midfield and occupy the central areas when in possession. Lallana does the same thing too although in a more dynamic way. They are completely different to Mahrez who is a winger and prefer to take the ball to feet, move wide or jink in more similar to Salah in that regard. Mahrez' skillset wouldn't fit in midfield.

Sorry Levy, I missed the Henri joke part. What do you mean? Good old Hendri?
Just remember they will have Keita also next season. Yeah, they will have a good team.
You sound like
Didn’t mahrez pull something similar last summer? Said he was off to Barcelona then nothing came of it.
IMO his agent is dropping hints and leaking “deals” to gain attention and show he’s available. He obviously wants out of Leicester but will somebody bite? Guess we will have to see.
Liverpool don't even have a DM for that to work.
Klopp caught again....
Hopefully this nonsense will stop now that Coutinho’s gone. SAS, SSS and then Fab 4. So cringe
Salah, Mahrez and Mane are all right wingers who are more comfortable in wide areas and closer to the opposing box. I think that AM three is missing that 'player in the hole' who links the midfield and attack and picks out the final ball.
Add Keita and Lemar/Mahrez and it will be a Fab 5.
And Jordan Henderson. Fab 6
Surely that doesn't make him better?
This too. This transfer just doesn't seem right. Sure there's no need to spend big on another winger when they already have two and a similar one in Salah? They are also a bit light in midfield and the striking department.
For me, definitely.
Sky are more reliable right?
A joke if true and we're letting it happen. Big if, for now.
They’ve spent the Coutinho money already on VvD and Keita. Quote me on that.
I think Leicester, knowing Liverpool are currently flush, should be selling for more than 50m. Which makes me think bein sport are talking bollocks.
As for Mahrez coming to United? No chance, skilful as he can be, he’s also a bit of a lazy fecker & Jose likes his players to put a shift in. Think Jose would even play the likes of Young as a RW before signing Mahrez.

Suspect that the price is putting clubs off. At £50m he's a punt given his inconsistent last couple of seasons, north of that and thats a very risky deal.
We’ll soon see who is the more reliable.
I meant Henderson , I think we agree they are building a very good final third team but they need a more technical player deeper.
Surprised why United are not after him considering he is a proper counterattacking player and we lack proper RW. Only reason i feel we are not after him is we have someone better lined up and have already planned on our Summer spending , if thats the case then I am all for not signing him.
Mahrez wouldn't make sense for Liverpool. A right winger when their now new best player is a right winger? Nope.
Hope Jose signs him, he's everything we need.

I said Mourinho and Ed Woodward haven't addressed any of our weaknesses while Liverpool have been very active despite playing much better football than we have. Yes, they are below us in the league table but the matter of fact is that they are doing something about it. They lacked a quality CB and they signed Van Dijk. They probably don't need Mahrez but their attack is already better than ours and they are strengthening whereas we have depended on Lingard to bale us out.
If we wanted Mahrez we'd have bought him last summer or earlier.
Don't think we're actually in for him.
Isn't his agent Kia Joorabchian ?
Might be a non starter, he's Coutinho's agent.

Makes sense given Liverpool already have two forwards that play in the same position and need a LWF a lot more, I also think if Leicester want more than £50M he'll be there for a while yet.
Can we calm down yet? Pearce along with Joyce and Reddy is solid on Liverpool transfer news.
Is there a website that has release clauses? I think that´s the smart way to go in such a situation. Everybody will be looking to rip you off. Inigo Martinez release clause is allegedly €35M. I think that makes a lot more sense than to pay €100M+ for Lemar. Brandt has a release clause of €17M in the summer. Offer Leverkusen €30M now and you could get him.
Just goes to show that you shouldn’t believe anything until an official announcement is made.
The Thiago and Vidal sagas proved this too.

Agree with this. We badly need to fill that RW and mahrez is available and proven.
We can argue that we didnt buy him last season because:
- we have other player (mata/mkhi/martial/rashford) that we think can play as RW. The fact say the opposite.
- We have other important position to fill (CF) and it needs big money
- We still not sure if his performance is consistent enough.
- We spent the whole transfer window chasing bale.
Im affraid it was like last season when we search for RB, we ended up getting darmian while clearly clyne and bertrand were availlable.
We never do everything in a simple way.
I don't know why people are getting so worked up to begin with, you'd think the story was that Liverpool were getting Dybala or Sanchez, not Mahrez. The fact his agent is that scumbag that messed us around with Tevez is likely part of the reason we aren't interested in doing business.
Nah I dont believe it anyway. Leicester wanted 50m off Roma for him in the summer when no-one else was interested and Roma wouldn't stump up, now we're linked they're not stupid. It just adds another 25-40m on top. The problem we have now with receiving a massive fee, every club will try it on. Deals won't be as shrewd and straight forward as some of these 'reports' are suggesting.
