Philippe Coutinho

Its not about PL or La Liga.

Coutinho thrives when he's like the main/2nd main player of the club. He was great for Brazil in the 2018 WC too.

People can diss him all they want but Barca didn't play to his strengths.

He was also good in his brief spell at Bayern infact. You can't deny his quality. Blame Koeman and Barca.

Exactly. People saying he's rubbish etc are being ridiculous. Coutinho is a top player. Barca just did not know how to use him or how to get the best out of him. He's not the first and won't be the last top player to fail at Barca because he wasn't used properly.

He didn't work out for Bayern either. Just like at Barca he started for them the first couple of months until he was benched and mostly used as a sub for the last 30-40 minutes.

He's obviously got very good qualities and at his best is a top player, but the excuse of not being used right....I don't know. Bayern tried him as a CAM in a 4-2-3-1 and he just didn't perform after an initial good spell. In his best position. Maybe it's the pressure or like jamrock said needing a chaotic style of play to succeed.

Steven Gerrard wants to permanently sign Coutinho and Aston Villa are willing to pay ?40M for him. However, final decision will be made in May. @MatteMoretto

Quickly becoming my favorite of the top 3 WOAT transfers in our club history.

Yep, even Puig with bona fide dna.
