You need to get him gone and swallow your pride.
Still 20 days left in the window to spend some on a replacement who actually loves the club and wants to be around the place.
Coutinho has a 'back injury' as the club can't risk playing him in the CL and getting him tied for Barca.
This will be all done very soon.
Anyone they want.
Pogba, as an example, 2 good seasons, contract due, agent Railoa, do you think it will be a smooth process? Will it feck.
Same thing could happen to us.
My man Coutinho doing this the day before the season starts.
Absolutely loving it, thrown a right spanner in the works.
Changes nothing
That is a concern, given games are played out in studios by pundits
Indeed. He's still a Liverpool player.
It's already happened to us (Ronaldo) but we didn't let it get messy or ruin our relationship with the player.
I'm not bothered. If a player doesn't want to be at United let them go. There's 5 more that do or a Marcus Rashford in the academy.
Via email. 
feck sake, you'd get sacked from a normal job for communicating shite like that via email.

Oh sorry it landed in the spam folder is the 21st century version of the fax machine is broken.
Liverpool's feelings may have little sway if Barcelona are Coutinho's primary intention.

As is your (you're) grammarYou're meltdown is hilarious
I thought there was a team specific thread for trolling. Some of the posts here are just idiotic.
They said from day one that he is not for sale and that position has not changed since. What exactly would be a competent way to handle it?
I said it makes them look incompetent. When you release a club statement to the press saying he's not for sale, and then hours later he hands in a transfer request - it's not a good look at all.
No one is saying he isn't but this is a disaster for the club.
He won't be a Liverpool player for long. As I said his back injury has appeared whilst this gets resolved. No way he will play in the CL.
You missed out a full stop. Poor stuff.
If a player wants to go so badly just let him go as long as you get a top price, we had a much better player in Ronaldo and let him leave.
"Forcing" players to stay in that situation is daft imo.

Good research. Was I correct. Has VVD signed for Liverpool?
Really? What are they supposed to do? It´s like you change a baby´s diapers and he poops into the fresh diapers three minutes later. You can´t plan for the actions of a baby. Coutinho behaves like a big baby.
Ok, in that case pass me the bleach.
We didn't for like 3 years. He first asked to leave in 2006 after the world cup (when he wasn't even that great), then pushed hard to leave in 2008, and finally left in 2009 (after he didn't even bother to play that good until the last 2-3 months).
It depends in a lot of things if a club should sell a player in a long contract the moment he decides that he doesn't fancy the club anymore.
not the slightest bit surprised tbh. don't blame Phil either, we've heard the warchest line that was dependant on CL all summer, TV money as well as having a positive net spend last summer. The money is there but once again in a make or break summer for FSG they've capitulated.
If you're Phil having seen the Suarez situation and seeing us fail in the market for the umpteenth time since you were signed you'd be pretty inclined towards leaving too. I'd leave if I was in his shoes, that Barca squad might be on the wrong side of 30 now but at least they'll still challenge for top honours and attempt to rectify their problems.
Wonder how the FSG apologists will spin this one . s'okay cause we've got Grujic and Moreno who the manager decided a right winger was better at his job than. Woodburn who's not anywhere close to the level of Sterling and is more Suso yet.
If you're VVD and Keita you're probably looking at this and thinking nah don't quite fancy it as much anymore . Only the club to blame .

I think we need 'rumours of disCOUTent' in the title.
But in all seriousness, imagine the scenes if FSG sell Coutinho and Klopp walks. Just imagine the meltdown

not sure if this is a sideway step or a backwards step to be honest. In the current era perhaps backward when you consider going from a forever nothing club to a quarter century nothing club.
what to do...
It's a World Cup year so the spirit of Shankly has shone down and given Liverpool a lifeline. Pip has to play well as he wants to play for Brazil... Yeah right. Ask him about his back problem which suddenly flares up when Barca told him to force the issue.
It's embarrassing. Just let the player go, make it amicable and re-invest.

Yknow what bothers me about this shit? Philippe fecking Coutinho is gonna go for around £110m and we were on the brink of getting Griezmann for £85m before Atletis transfer ban was upheld. What a bargain that would have been.
3 years is bollox, the 2006 example was not Ronaldo desperate to leave, it was an emotional player upset at his treatment from the media. Similar to ronnie now in Spain actually.
So it was one year and no transfer request, but an agreement to allow him to leave the following season. Big big difference.
While it might help him make the decision, I think that he was going to ask to leave anyway. When Barca calls, most players answer. It's the way of life.
We don't have release clauses.
You doing your hair?
Just like Stevie Me then.
And you call my comments idiotic
Coutinho is a grown man firstly, he can actually communicate his feelings with the club. Secondly Coutinho has been completely professional about the situation so far. Handing in a transfer request doesn't really deter from that.
It's not the fact that they've maintained their stance of 'not for sale', and/or Coutinho's request. It's that both events happened within moments of each other.
Does he? Maybe he just wants to go somewhere where he's got a chance of winning something. Can't blame him for that.
meltdown confirmed when the grammar snipe start coming out for your lack of an actual argument...
