hi eds, haven't posted for a few years but been reading the site very often. all my questions get answered so no need haha. if you got time just a quick one regarding the statement the club issued in regard to coutinho. It has been said that the owners set a price for him and were talking to barcelona regarding a move. what has changed for them to issue the statement? thanks as always you guys are the best.

{Ed002's Note - The owners have not spoken with Barcelona but representatives of Liverpool gave a price to PSG and then to Barcelona. No the decision has been taken to hang on to him. I suspect Klopp made his opinion known but I can't be sure.}

Key part of the statement. The this summer. It was too late for them to get a replacement. Therefore no sale at any price. Let's hope they prepare for the next time one or that Barcelona move on haha.

Well at least we keep him for this season. Next summer hopefully we get Keita in as the replacement if Barcelona sustain their interest in Coutinho and he still wants to go there.

It is a great decision not to sell and a price should not have been given in the first place. I understand the position of coutinho wanting out but I really feel he can be brought back onside. I hope this stays the case.

We are 1 or 2 players away from doing something really special. If we could add a star Cb and Cm then we could be a real force. If the 2 who have been mentioned come I will be ecstatic for the new season.

Lessons will need to be learnt from this transfer season for sure though and sadly that is not the first time we ve said this. Let's hope it's the last.

All we can do now is continue to hope coutinho stays and hope we add a few worldies. Marquee players. You know the ones Ed. With that transfer warchest that FSG gave klopp. It's just so darn hard to buy players we jewells and gold nice knacks these days. I wish they gave him a bank account instead. I feel this warchest idea of FSG is what is slowing everything down.

Yes Mikey, a CB and CM have been repeatedly mentioned on here.
They go by the names of "You Know Who" from Southampton FC and "He Who Must Not Be Named" of Leipzig.
