Is Paulinho the only non EU player right now in the squad? Yeray Mina is a non EU player as well. We are interested in Coutinho and Arthur, both non EU players. This makes signing Malcom impossible.

Coutinho shouldn't be signed in my opinion, at least for the amount of money being discussed. For that money you can sign Malcolm, any of Torreira/Jorginho/de Jong/Ozil, Mina, de Ligt and fix a host of issues.

This Coutinho obsession is nonsensical.

It's nonsensical to sign more kids during Messi's last peak years.

You need quality right now to compete for the CL and the squad always got to be a mix of youth and experience. Cannot have all youth and inexperience. Have to rebuild gradually. We're not going to have a player like that anytime in our history again, need to help him challenge on all fronts. I want younger talents too, but you're the one going overboard here. The midfield is screaming for CL winning quality RIGHT NOW, not in three years.

Coutinho apparently got Italian citizenship. Was at Inter for five years.

Nobody said anything about all youth. Jorginho is 25, Özil is 29, Mina is 23 and looks a definite at this stage and Malcolm is a promising youngster.

Coutinho’s signing addresses only 1 problem and for the money involved more can be taken care of.

Well said, Coutinho isn't the only option to improve our team. He is quality but everything more than 100m is too much. 150m is just ridiculous. The club doesn't seem to be interested in Torreira, Jorginho or Malcom. Jorginho and Malcom would instantly improve the team, Torreira needs more time.

Another screamer from him, would be able to play in the CHL as well. Should be an option to reinforce the attack but doesn't seem like we are interested.

This guy is going to end up at a big club. No doubt...

And then culés will complain.. Wtf happened, why weren’t we in for him?

There are no better under 21 wingers than Dembele and Malcom at the moment. Barça having both would be some coup. But no... Coutinho is the be all and end all of this club. Literally

Apparently Bayern sent officials to attend the Dijon-Bordeaux game on Friday to watch him. That'd be such a smart piece of business, he's so freaking talented.

He would fit in Bayerns wingplay like a glove, thats why I can see them going for him seriously. They need some quality on the wings considering the age of Robben and Ribbery. We dont seem interested at all, possibly due to the EU-spots. He really looks like the next big thing form France and the best option for us as well as it stands IMO.
