Any chance you could please check back in with Macca and see if he has any new info at this time?

Or you could just pass along his number and I'll ask him myself, haha.

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Macca has said again both will arrive and Coutinho will stay as far as he knows.}

The fact we have enquired on Rakatic as part of the deal makes me think wmight be considering his departure.

He should only be allowed to go if he pays his pay rise over the last 6 months. Refusing to play again. It's poor behaviour and I would rather see him sit and rot for 5 years. For the same reasons I wouldn't want VVD. It's shambolic and disrespectful to all the fans that have supported you and helped you become anything worthwhile.

{Ed002's Note - That would not be possible.}

Pipco.

{Ed002's Note - I have no idea.}

PC doesn't want to play for us. Why do you fans still want to hold on to him? We are like a love struck teenager shouting up to his ex girlfriend's window, drunk with service station flowers. I don't want anyone at the club who doesn't want to be here. It is very simple really. No matter hos good.

I suspect macca is bang on when he says we are waiting to see if we qualify for UCL proper before splashing on kieta and vvd. Therefore pc could be with us until we have qualified and replaced his class with kieta.

Ed002.

It's great hearing from Macca though I can't help but think you're not of the same opinion in that VVD and Keita will sign.

My gut feeling is that neither will be a Liverpool player come the end of the transfer window.

{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation as I understand it.}

People just coming out and stating stuff like Couts refusing to play without any facts is just disrespectful to the player. the truth is nobody really knows what's going on at the moment. wish people would just chill out.

'Stories' today he has said he won't wear Liverpool shirt again, even if it costs him WC place and his relationship with Klopp is untenable as far as he is concerned. The WC place leads me to think this story is untrue but I suppose you can't tell from the outside looking in.

There could be some slight truth in it but papers take things out of context and then make stuff up.

For example. Could be. Asked by a Spanish reporter "do you think you will join Barcelona of will you stay with liverpool? " And then Phil says "No, I don't think I will play for them anymore. I think I will join Barcelona" then reporter comes out with drastic headline "COUTINIO SAYS HE WILL NEVER WEAR LIVERPOOL SHIRT AGAIN! "

That's just fiction but an example of how journos twist stuff.

That's the spanish press just stirring it all up. Chill. We will know soon enough.

I didn't say he refused to play for us. I doubt pc would do that. But he doesn't want to. That's the issue that should be at the fore of your thoughts on pc. Same with saints and VVD. Can't understand why they would keep him.

A Brazilian not caring if he plays in the World Cup? Impossible. Simply not possible.

You're right ra. But the manager knows and loves pc. He will be in that squad no matter what. Unless injured.

I Do think people are confusing wanting to play for Barcelona with not wanting to play for Liverpool. Nothing has been said by him about anywhere else. He'd prefer to be at Barcelona but that doesn't mean he'll go if say Chelsea or Bayern bid for him.

i don't get why we should wait to see if we qualify before signing VVD and NK, shouldn't we be strengthening regardless for the league and the chance of qualifying for CL again next term, especially considering watching our defense is like watching a a sketch with a comedy of errors game after game.

As for Pipco if he doesn't want to be here sell him and strengthen the deference/ defensive mid, we would probably save more points than pipco gets us, im tired of watching our defense be the laughing stock of the prem, an in particular tired of seeing lovren and moreno on the team sheet.

True stej but it's a business. I'm not sure how it works but we must be due some big money if we qualify for UCL. TV rights. As fans of course we always want to strengthen but as it is the team we have is strong enough to qualify next time for ucl as it did do last term. But do we have a squad capable of that and challenging for prem? That Is why it's important to add quality IF we get past hoffenhiem next week.
