Bad news to begin with. Liverpool are believed to have rejected an opening offer from PSG and expect them to come back with an improved offer. PSG has met Coutinho's representatives early in the year. With Hazzard staying at Chelsea, PSG decided to turn their attention to Coutinho.

What was the opening offer?

We paid £8m, if they're offering £40m plus then we should take it BUT make sure it's reinvested wisely, something we didn't do with the Suarez/ Sterling 'profit'.

If reports are to be believed, the opening offer was around £45m. Hope someone can confirm.

Johnny, I agree on Suarez, but we too around 60% of the Sterling money and invested it in Firmino, which I think was very shrewd business.

I think we should invest in someone like Draxler.
He is young, affordable and will do the job for us.

We already have a ready made replacement in Firmino. No need to spend money in an area that is over stocked currently. Don't want him to go but it would represent good "business" at a reported £45 million. I think he can be pursued to stay another season by Klopp.

Selling your most talented player is never good business whichever you spin it.

Didn't bother Utd too much when they sold Ronaldo.

A lot of people keep saying we have a replacement already in Firmino but to be honest, except for the fact they are both Brazilian and attacking players, I don't really see them as all that similar. There strengths and style of play are different to one another - they can work well together but it we lose Coutinho I feel, for a player of such quality, we would have to buy a quality replacement to not be weakened as a team.

I really hope we keep him. I think him and Firmino could end up being formidable together and take us to CL next season.

If he desperately wants to leave though and we can't persuade him to stay, then we can't hold him against his will. It's not a good message from the club and I think we need to also learn to do the right thing by players if they are respectful in their dealings with us. We don't want to build a reputation where we screw players over if they ever want to leave.

If he truly wants to leave and we get 45m+ and manage to land Gotze and someone else like Mane or Silva then we'll survive just fine, but at some point we need to prove to the top players we are a club people should aspire to at the very top level, not as a stepping stone.

I don`t want him to go. We can`t be selling our best players while at the same time aspiring to become top 4/ title contenders.

If he was to go, we need to buy a winger. We need a winger anyway, but if he was to leave, then it could make us more balanced.

Hopefully Phil stays he's my favourite player. That said if he does want to leave and a huge offer comes in. If there is a similar player we have in mind we could buy then maybe worth it. You want someone who will be committed. I just wish we kept him and carried on improving the squad and sell the players not up to the level we want.
