Pretty sure that's exactly what you're doing, asking 100 million for Coutinho

i thought 100m was the last offer Barca made but i could be wrong

if we were the ones who said 100m then come on man, we can go higher than that

They offered €85m + €15m in addons.

I don't think FSG would even consider anything less than £100m up front.

There's the whole rest of the month for Coutinho's relationship with Liverpool to deteriorate, Gorn.

What's the situation with Dembele at Dortmund? Is he agitating and turning Barca's bid for him into a soap opera too?

He's "refusing contact" with BVB which I guess means ignoring them until they go away?

Its not like Barcelona are particularly well known for their ability to negotiate either. The Swiss Ramble write up of the Zlatan transfer to and from their club is just insane.

Liverpool are 100% not winning the league and would be lucky to get top 4, they should just get used to the fact that they're a mid-table club and a selling one at that. Obviously Coutinho wants to leave, boy wants trophies, nothing wrong with that. Very entitled fans, very bad. Stop living of past glories, sell Coutinho and buy a solid replacement that ensures you get 6th or 7th

Liverpool are #9 on the 2015-16 Deloitte Money Rankings and this is a super stupid opinion.

Like I don't particularly like Liverpool, I like calling them a "small" club or needling them about their glory days being behind them, but they're a club on $600 million of revenue with only Barcelona, RM, PSG and Bayern ahead of them excluding their domestic rivals.

What we're encountering is a special circumstance where the 2nd biggest revenue club in the world has sold their second most expensive player to the sixth most expensive club for hundreds of millions of dollars but Liverpool has sound financials and Champions League football, gently caress all this "small club" nonsense.

Liverpool need to get over it imo like us cool and good-looking Manchester United fans when Ronald when to Real Madrid after winning all the things with us and wanting to destroy football somewhere else and go mano a mano with his midget autist nemesis.

Coutinho is like that except for being a third rate player who's won nothing.

surelly 100m could get you one of insigne,carrasco or if you want something diferent, hamsik. You dont have to buy a direct replacement for Coutinho.you improve other positions and adapt to that.

I'm an Arsenal fan, I think Coutinho leaving would be cool and good, and the fallout highly amusing.

That doesn't mean I can't see why £100m for Coutinho is actually a bad deal for Liverpool in this market.

Don't sign a contract, don't collect the millions. Or leave before everyone else does so the club doesn't want to hold onto you for dear life.

You sign a contract for a reason. Uphold the terms of the contract unless they are baltebtly unfair. You grossly outperforming your contract? Holdout, ask for a raise. That's a legitimate complaint because you are performing at a higher level than you were previously.


You wanna move? Suck it up kid don't sign a 5 year contract dumbass. Absolutely make your desires known but if they don't sell, don't be a bitch about it

Looks like Everton have dropped the asking price for Ross Barkley to £30m so it has become a lot more probable that he'll end up at Spurs on the last day of the transfer window.

Yeah, that's generally the end of it. Coutinho can refuse to play, but that will land him in legal trouble. That said, it's a bad idea to keep a player who desperately wants out around.

£30m is the new £15m and it wasn't more than two or three weeks ago that Everton demanded £50m for him.

Plus I think that Pochettino could actually make him good.
