Who says the player is listening?
The amount of sheer guess work that passes for journalism, particularly when it comes to sport, continues to amaze.
But we were looking to spend money on Keita & VVD anyway. What are we going to do with another £90m ontop of the money we were hoping to spend on them two? Spunk well over the odds in another Andy Carroll type signing? (I know you guys n gals would love that
)He knows if he doesn't go to Barca this year there won't be a next year.
He isn't that good that they are going to leave a space for him their squad for next season.
If they don't get him now, they move and get someone else and the opportunity for him is gone.
If we were talking about a Ronaldo or a Neymar, or a Bale, then yes if you had an assurance there would be no hassle next summer with the transfer you would wait, but he isn't, he isn't half the player of any one of them is, so Barca aren't going to kick their heels for 12 months waiting for him.
It's now or never for him.

Liverpool handled this stupidly.
Coutinho was always going to force the issue.
Why would he want to play for Liverpool when he has the chance to play for Barca?
The offer they got was more than fair as well.

Sounds like a transfer request is incoming. Sky have probably jumped the gun here.
You haven't actually bought those players.But we were looking to spend money on Keita & VVD anyway. What are we going to do with another £90m ontop of the money we were hoping to spend on them two?

Is he sending it by carrier pigeon or something?
Why can 'journalists' not spell?
They generally give up any loyalty bonus they would get for reaching the end of their contract, so yeah it could be several million he's giving up. No doubt Barca will make up for that though in his signing on bonus.
This window is crazy, Lukaku signing that looked at the time a bit high is now sort of working out as youd expect post Neymar. Coutinho will go for around 100 million because of they buying club having a ton of cash, and if Lukaku scores 25 plus again then it will look like, and its crazy to type this, but a decent bit of business....at 75 million...what?
But the money was seemingly there to do so. So either we had £100m+ spend and the sale of Cou will leave us with £180m+ to spend, or the owners have played us all for fools and signing VVD/Keita was never going to happen without the sale of our talisman.
Bit like you did then....
Might be time to send the heavies round to his place now.
Obviously pigeon post and someone has shot the thing with an air rifle over Old Swan.
Who do Liverpool think they are? After they tap up VVD they're stance on Coutinho stinks of double standards.
VVD wants to come to Liverpool as they are bigger than Southampton, Coutinho the same with Barcelona.
Barcelona is one of the elite clubs in world football, Coutinho will be a fool to turn that down to stay at Liverpool.
Liverpool will get a mega fee, I don't see the protraction on they're part. It's going to happen

This window has been gold for the press.
Sky citing a close family member so probably his brother?
Seems it does not matter a club says anymore. Media will just ignore it. A player could literally die and ten minutes later Sky would Tweet: Player no shows training. Deal not DEAD yet.
How can you not? We. Don't. Need. The. Money. Why would we weaken ourselves when the season is already started, knowing we probably can't even find a proper replacement for him?
Remains to be seen whether you will have a choice though - looking less likely by the minute.
A transfer request doesn't create a legal obligation, it's basically just a player publicly saying he wants to leave.
Hope he stays
Seems like a like from Coutinho's people, he might intend to hand in a transfer request but Sky may have jumped the gun a bit.
True. Only extra tension between the club and the player.
What this British obsession with written transfer requests? Everyone "knew" he wants to join Barca, what does a piece of paper change about the situation?
Who would you like to see the club sign? Eriksen?
Just means Coutinho wouldn't get a sum of money for loyalty bonus or whatever when transfer happens with added bonus of pissing off Liverpool fans.
Sky talking bollocks imo. No way I believe them over journalists who are trusted for the club, just like we have ours.
I want to believe though!

Eriksen is a good shout. I think he's the better player. Although dealing with Spurs wouldn't be any easier...
What's the point in keeping a player that doesn't want to be there? They usually end up playing like they can't bothered.
I just got banned from one of those silly banter pages on FB for giving it large to them, they usually cry racist or deathmocking when banning people but I done nothing of the sort, they cannot handle that their little magician is desperate to leave
