Got to love Nike putting up a post welcoming Coutinho to the Nou Camp and offering Coutinho personalised Barca kits on sale until Jan 6th
Wonder how they know what's going on ??
Or it's Barca doing what Barca always do in transfer negotiations using little tactics like this. You only have to look out how they use Mundo in their past negotiations to know this is nothing unusual. Real are doing the same thing with Marca and Adidas to unsettle Harry Kane and his agents.Quote:

Thanks for the 5 years Coutinho.
Amazing player. Destined for big things. Shame he didn’t get to achieve those things with us.
Hopefully he does well and him and Suarez can link up again to success.
I don’t know what the incentive is for players wanting to go there. There’s not too much of a challenge is there??
League wise, I’d argue that the EPL is one of the most competitive (maybe with exception of Calcio A) leagues in the world.
Same with the likes of PSG, Bayern, PSV, Gala, etc. these teams are pretty much locked in a 2-3 way battle for their domestic title each year, the only real challenge is champions league. And even then 4 out of 13 potential games probabaly aren’t that intense. What’s the motivation?
Is it better to be a star player in an average (comparatively) team, or another player in a superstar team.
Playing with IniestaQuote:

There is five reasons I can think of pretty quick
Has he officially gone?
YesQuote:

Reds sure messed up not making them include someone like Denis Suarez (or the other young gun CM who’s name I forgot) in the sale. Bloke is red hot and now seemingly out of a spot until Iniesta decides to hang them up now.
Huh?Quote:

No my original comment was not worded correctly. You will find over the lat twenty years the EPL has not had the most amount of different winners.Quote:

So Barca are walking the league and top 3 fav for Champions league and have 2 of the best players ever on the same team at the same time, but then go and buy one of the EPL's best to add in reinforcements.
Liverpool sit mid table and continually pretend they want to try and win stuff but then (again) sell their best player and will no doubt bring in either a) a bunch of dudes who will be garbage or b) nail another bargain like Suarez, Coutinho, Torres but the minute he gets good sell him and continually reward mediocre players like Gerrard and Carragher.
Liverpool aint winning shit til they become a club that actually prioritises it.
You also summed up Arsenal lad hahaQuote:

I get Iniesta is one of the greatest of all time and me and you are on the same page there but who this other bloke at Barca you talking about ??Quote:

I don’t think that’s anywhere near what Liverpool does. I don’t if any club has Liverpool’s recent track record on this.
Good old BiscuitsQuote:

Nah Rakatic. Honestly this guy is superbQuote:

A great summary of Liverpool this morning.
Can take it to any team, and come out pretty good.
Can also f**k a sure thing like nobody else.
always trying to give manu a leg up
plus 1st game without courto who was sorely missed.
Some game huh?Quote:

you speaking like they gonna have problems.Quote:

All the (deserved) backslapping over Liverpool’s performance on the weekend then you see Suarez’s goal and everyone’s like “damn he still better than ALL those dudes”.
Again though, copying the Arsenal playbook is not without merit.Quote:

Football is the worst game...seriously.
I don’t know why you blokes do it to yourselves.Quote:
