Philippe Coutinho

Good deal for everybody, that (well, maybe not Barca).

A lot of talent in that squad. Looking forward to seeing what Stevie does with a window and a pre-season.

Fuck them.

I dont know. As much as people may have enjoying his fall given the way he acted to get out of Liverpool, he is still a much better player than he’ll have the platform to express it at Villa. It was a move that made sense on the shirt term as a loan, but you’d have thought there would have been a better permanent move for him for this summer. Not that he’s particularly justified with his Villa performances though

Phil needs to be wanted and loved. Stevie loved Phil when he was at Liverpool. Phil knows that Stevie knows what he can and can’t do, and that Stevie could get the best out of him. Phil’s no spring chicken, has won a fair bit at Barca and Bayern, but probably knows his best years were playing in England. He’s also better as a bigger fish in a smaller pond. This move prob suits him.

He was crap the other night against us. Still a one trick pony in my book.

Well, yeah, I can’t imagine Pip would go Villa if it weren’t for Stevie. Then again, he’s 29, has a bit of a reputation, and a moody back.

Coutinho for 20M Euro!!!

we should be all over that

We would easily sell him in a years time for 3 x times that amount to PSG or Real Madrid.

Surprised that Newcastle weren’t in for him. Big name and Premier League proven…

Who’s to say they weren’t but Phil said he’d would rather play for Stevie

It’s official.

I’d have had a medical on that back.

Did we had some of those sell on things for him :innocent:

No thank, we got young Phil joining from Fulham soon.

Its just the 4 that is missing.

By agreeing to a 70% pay cut, Coutinho must be desperate to quit Barcelona. Likewise, Barcelona must be desperate to offload him, by accepting just Ā£17 million. Now he’s ended up at Villa, I bet he’s sorry he ever left Liverpool.

It couldn’t have worked out much better for Liverpool, which is all I really care about, but it’s a warning to all players who think the grass is greener on the other side.

I hope Mo takes this into consideration before making up his mind.

On loan now in qatar not even in saudi! It’s kinda sad to see how low he fell.
