Tevez scored 4 goals, made like $20m, absolutely shat on the Chinese league and players about their lack of quality in the press, missed about half of the team's games, then hosed off home to Argentina to force a transfer.

It's the ur Tevez experience.

He and Mascherano probably got enough money from that incredibly shady and probably illegal deal that sent them to West Ham a decade ago.

I'm sure Tevez did ok at United, City, and Juve too.

Imagine thinking anyone but Joorabchian got that money.

He does.

Theo Walcott's agent is batting his eyelashes at the Milan clubs in the press. I actually hope he does go to an Italian team, would be interesting to see how it goes.

Apparently the Coutinho deal has been kind of agreed, £106m up front and £34m in achievable add ons (ie appearances and club trophies rather than Ballon d'Or wins)

And we're apparently now in for Mahrez to replace him.

It's not ideal, but in the circumstances it's probably the best we could have done.

He's been pretty good in Leicester's ultra counter attacking system. He's not the most committed defender though.

Source? What I've read says that Coutinho still wants to move but that Liverpool are also pretty committed to keeping him to the end of the season. The people who are convinced that a deal has been done (like Balague) are a bit unreliable

Those numbers might to match this Melissa Reddy story, but she's saying that the bid has not been accepted yet. I think if Coutinho has convinced Liverpool that he cannot stay, they will still try to squeeze out a higher offer.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

We've specifically told Leicester that we're not interested in Mahrez.

I have no idea what's going to happen. All the talk from the Liverpool side is that we're still trying our best to keep hold of him for the rest of the season and we're not really looking at any alternatives. If he goes and we don't bring anyone else in then we've had a shocker.

Do Barcelona really need him right now? Why not hammer out the kind of delayed deal that Liverpool did with Keita? Or loan him back to Liverpool for the rest of the season? I don't know if Barcelona have been open to either of those approaches.

Coutinho wants to go because he's an ACL tear from the move falling apart forever

There's a rumour that he'll be in Barcelona tonight to watch their game, which would be pretty conclusive

Klopp will fix Andy's injury problems with KloppTech and get Downing running around even more to confuse defenders. If we can afford him with the change, bring back Glen Johnson as well.

Still can't quite get my head round the idea that Coutinho is the second most expensive footballer ever. He's really loving good, but I don't think even in our boomiest moments we'd have compared him to Suarez, Ronaldo, Messi or whoever.

Apparently some of the money is going to be spent on Alisson or Oblak. Given that Alisson is ahead of Ederson in the Brazil team, that would be some loving upgrade over our current chuckle brothers.

Yeah. This is also different to Suarez leaving which basically kneecapped the club after Rodgers spent the best part of two years building the team around him. Coutinho is indeed really loving good and his free kicks and trickery in and around the box will be greatly missed but Liverpool don't rely on him like they did Suarez. I wish him well, the little poo poo. Hopefully a decent goalie can come in soon.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.
My main take away from this is that we didn't get nearly enough for Suarez.

We played well enough during his "injury" at the start of the year and the squad feels a lot stronger than it did when Torres or Suarez left. 142m is a lot in a vacuum, but I don't even know what that will get us at this point. Can the Keita deal be pushed up?
