Well... the way Liverpool fans are making out is that he should be valued as the 2nd most expensive player.
Coutinho is a very good player..... but he's not world class.
If true, not happy we're paying that amount for him.
The pressure is going to be on him more than it was with Pogba. He literally has score a shit load of goals and create goals. Us Barcelona fans are less forgiving than most fans.
In other words..... they're hoping to not sign any big players so they can spend all the money on the stadium.
This squad wasn't good enough last season, so it's definitely not going to be good enough this season.
And he's under contract. He should have put a clause in his contract he signed back in January if he was so keen on leaving (like if Barcelona came in for him Liverpool would accept a good offer). He has to be professional and let Liverpool do their job.
No. Liverpool hold all the cards; him handing in a transfer request doesn't decrease the price...... certainly not at this stage of the window. And I doubt Coutinho will make a fuss anyway.
Because they won't have enough time to replace him if they sell him now. At least if they sell in June or early July of next year, they can find a decent replacement in time.
