I doubt Liverpool were convinced to the extent that he has performed at either. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Plenty of people wanted him here though, myself included.

one of the most reliable Liverpool reporters has stated that Coutinho is gone.

I’m not convinced by Keita. Looks like he’ll struggle positionally

I don't know how he will cope with the pace and aggression of the premiership but he looks a more complete midfielder than any of liverpool's so i don't think he is at risk of ever being the fifth wheel.

£142m for Coutinho... this game. Nearly as bad as £75m for van Dijk.

Not convinced. He has a cavalier approach but it will leave Liverpool hugely exposed to counters

Ricky1985

They've got Jurgen Klopp managing them they're always going to be hugely exposed to counters.

The man has skill, intelligence, pace and knows how to tackle making him the leading "turnover" machine in the bundesliga (drawing defensive comparisons to kante who has a fraction of his ability going forward).
I think there will be a few more players ahead him in the queue to blame for leaving liverpool exposed to counters and one of them (Ox, Henderson, Can, ...) would, more than likely be dropped/sold.

Can is joining Juve on a free in the summer

Shame as i think he is shit and klopp getting rid must do, as well.
My older bandwagon supporting brother likes liverpool so, like tottenham, i've always hated them from since i can remember.

Ricky1985

Can is a good player in my opinion and Liverpool were desperate to keep him.

lorddulaarsenal

Coutinho is a big miss - will allow teams to double up on Salah

It seems German players love to run down their contracts: Ozil, Can, Goretzka, etc.

Bold Tone

It weakens them in the short run but £142m is ample compensation if properly spent.

How does he compare to our midfielders?
(Genuine question as i hardly watch other teams these days)

Ricky1985

Can would walk into our starting XI in my opinion.

Bold Tone

Ahead of Xhaka, Ramsey or Jack?

Ricky1985

Completely different to Jack and Ramsey, but he's a much better two-way midfielder than Xhaka for me. And infinitely better than all of them from physical and defensive standpoint.

Bryant

Official now.

Ray

Guess this means top 4 back on.

Claudius

Yes. Coutinho done deal.
One day, one of you will explain to me how Barca in a market of one managed to bid a rumoured 146m pound for Coutinho. He's an excellent player, but I can't see how he's that much more valuable than other attacking midfielders. Plus Barca are desperate to sign him and use the last of the Neymar monies when a) they are easily winning La Liga and b) they can't use him in the Champions League. They could wait until June and wear Liverpool down. There's nobody else desperate for Coutinho.

Worries me slightly that we are signing Raul Sanllehi as he must have had some part in this, the Dembele and other overpriced or mindboggling Barca transfers in recent seasons.
