I don’t get why these journalists make such outlandish statements unless they are truly 100 per cent sure. Don’t they know what reputation means?

its 2019. most people will forget the time they got it wrong the next time they get something right. for every person that remembers a journalist getting it massively wrong, there are 10,000 new people who didnt even know who the guy was a few years ago when he messed up

depends if the players agent has given the journo some dough for a call-out. take a hit to the rep for some sweet sweet skrilla

don't know why we're bothering with this. raul's shonky side coming through. rather give the minutes to iwobi/nelson at a fraction of what this spoofer will cost us

Great. Xhaka can sit down for Dani, and Ozil can sit down for Coutinho, and we are finally set in midfield.

Now defence.

Jed

I'm not sure a midget midfield featuring Coutinho, Ceballos and Torreira will work out.

Claudius

I think Coutinho would be a left winger.
I suspect we were discussing Umtiti with Barcelona and the papers have been getting things mixed up. What are we going to do with Coutinho?

Clrnc

Dont think we have seen such a diverse source from journalist. Nobody is sitting on the fence, its either joining us or totally not interested for this rumour. Alot of reputations on the line.

ITK fighting as well about this 😆

My thinking too and as long as it doesn't eat into our resources for a CB, I am fine with it. It just means that better sense has prevailed and unless in an emergency, Aubameyang doesn't play wide again. It may also mean that Nelson and Saka haven't convinced Emery about their readiness to make contributions this season in the League. Coutinho as overrated he was is still better than Iwobi. Pepe and Coutinho wide are dangerous players for opposition to contend with given their dribbling ability especially if we can isolate them with the opposing fullback 1 on 1 often. It may also allow us to play a flatter midfield 3.

This guy is suppose to be reliable.

We've had some eventful transfer windows but last few days have been absolutely mental with the players we are being linked with!

So this Vega guy that works for cadenser is saying:

The future of Philippe Coutinho seems to be decided, the Brazilian is one step away from signing for Unai Emery's Arsenal for the next season. So the player currently from Barcelona will have the Emirates Stadium as his destination.
Everything has changed in the last hours because we are telling you that it seemed that the closest option was the Tottenham where he was going to leave on loan butthe future of Coutinho is or is practically closed with the Arsenal.
It had seemed that it was not economically possible for Arsenal to face the operation but it has changed as I say everything has changed in the last hours regarding Coutinho's future.

They really have no clue, maybe we want them that way. Half of the press is saying it's done, half that it was never on.

Of course they have no clue none of these guys do. The transfer window is silly season throw stuff out you'll get loads of desperate football followers who will it to be true and most have seen the link on the paper commit to it if it comes off the have "proven"themselves if not they'll claim it broke down or something.

These are the couple of games that stick in my head where he played as a left winger against us:

He's not perfect, and a bit of an irritating player some times, but he has great qualities too. And if it means less Mkhitaryan then it's worth it for that alone.

Clrnc

Didnt realise he played so well against us. Was always more worried about Suarez in the past anyway

lorddulaarsenal

He’s really good. Great close control and agile. We’ve been terrible in possession for years now - Coutinho and Ceballos would sort that

Anyways Sky bogging up Coutinho to Spurs

Would be funny if we got him in that respect

Not overly fussed mind

Just getting fanny flutters for Upamecano

Clrnc

Theres also a chance maybe they are leaking fake news so it seems like Spurs snatched it from us finally revenging Saliba and Ceballos when in the first place we are not interested in Coutinho

deardevil

We need to sign another forward. We don't have a striker on the bench if Laca and Auba both start.

goon

We’d just bring on a winger and play 1 up top. Bit of a fake problem.

Hardly a fake problem if the winger you are bringing on is Iwobi or Mkhi. Coutinho would be good enough to start.

goon

Coutinho is a lazy fucker, if he takes anyone’s spot it’s Ozil’s. You can’t have two lazy fuckers in the side.
