Sorry but the blindness to counts is unbelievable people say we can't replace him or who with well 6 goals and 5/ 6 assits is not hard to replace at all if wood burn had played the same amount of games I bet he would have the same stats. The problem with him is he goes missing for 2 thirds of the season he's so inconsistent and if someone offers 50 mill plus this would be better spent else were on the positions we need lw st lb so for me he is very replaceable as we already have players that can replace him.

The onl6 thing you worry we would replace is him and firmino. There connection is rediculous.

But is it worth 200k a week for half a season. Always a november injury and then a long wait back for him to hit form?

Not in my eyes and think we ciuld do with pace on the left anyway. Leaving lallaba and firmino in the middle.

Would love

Mane lallana costa
Firmino.

So our best player over the last two years has an injury, struggles a bit to find his best form and now some morons (I won't call them fans) want him sold. Some people don't understand what YNWA stands for.

Exactly Ron. The fickleness on here sometimes is quite extraordinary.

He'll score a worldy in the next game and everyone will go back into their shells. He's having a poor patch but he's coming back from an injury and will come back stronger when he finds his form, I actually think one game a week isn't actually that beneficial for players trying to find their form, he needs as much game time as possible.

This is exactly the line a lot of Liverpool fans took with Alonso in 07-08 when he picked up a couple of injuries and was out of sorts.

Same fans now describe selling him a year later as Rafa's biggest mistake. If they're being polite about it.

Frankly, who are these "fans" coming on here slagging off Couts cos he's going thru a rough patch? We will stick with him in his time of distress come hell or high water cos he is one of ours and has contributed a lot to our season and his rough patch will NEVER change that. You should all be ashamed of yourselves with your disgraceful posts kicking one of our own while he's down instead of supporting him during this struggle. Pathetic!

We might get 50 for him but wats to say the owners will give us it all to spend. If we want to challenge we need to keep our best players experienced players and gelled players not sell them cause they had 5 poor games. Our fans r frustrating to listen to at times.

We sold Suarez and bought Lovren, Lallana and Lambert.
What a disaster that was.

Don't sell your best players unless they want to leave.

I haven't seen one person yet say they want him sold. I have seen a lot of people say they wouldn't turn down a stupid offer and a few people say that he is replaceable. That is a little bit different to people saying he is a bad player who we should actively look to sell!

To be fair Ron, lfc has been rubbish for 2 years so it wouldn't be hard to be player of the year.

We all know who will win it this year.

Ko Lo - the usual way to progress is to keep your best players and replace the worst ones.
Selling your best players is not the path to success.

Ron - don't let your optimism come in the way of judgement.

Very valid points by Ko Lo and MK.

Yes, Couts is the only world class player in our team not considering Sturridge.

However if an offer comes anywhere near 50 or 60, I don't think the club will hesitate to do business.

Also to fellow posters - please don't call fans as morons or question their love towards club just because they have a different point of view or look for reasoning.


Cheers.

Ill put it this way he won player of the year 2 years running let's be honest not been hard to do has it wat has liverpool acheived in this time nothing and him being player of the year means nothing either. 3 games out of ten he's class the other 7 dier that's wat I see simple.

We should get another winger/ attacker. Couts is not that effective there, far better in a midfield position. Think Iniesta.

Wouldn't mind trying our luck with Mahrez. Him on the right, Mané on the left, Bobby in the middle. Behind them Couts and Lallana/ Gini or even Hendo in a difficult game away. Mahrez would obviously add some venom at set pieces aswell.

If goals is the issue then people are missing the point that he isn't meant to be a main scorer, that is being picked up because of a different problem, no consistent scorer. so him and Firminho look like they're not doing enough. Same with assists, you can only get an assist if the other guy scores. Get a striker who will score around 20 league goals a season and those 2 will look like they have a big value.

Madness, whenever we lose our star players we b**** about them leaving. We have a current one and people say we should take 50 odd mil for him!? Who are going to get for 50 mil to replace him!? Why would they come to Liverpool if we were selling our best players? What guarantees do they have that they will be more effective than him? Or that they won't get injured? Forget about his goals and asssists -when he plays he gives the other team something totally different to deal with, usually assigning two players to deal with him. Teams haven't had something to worry about like him since Suarez. Keep your best players, replace the weak ones and success will usually follow.

Couts is not world class. In fact i would say he is not even the best in the PL in my opinion. That would go to Silva.

Couts, origi can, are all young players who can in theory improve year on year for the next 5 years.

They ain't that bad now and each have had patches showing talent that will become more consistent over time.
With TTA, ojo and Woodburn coming along after.
The future looks good.
Hopefully Gomez can step up but we really need to sign a top centre half and probably a full back.

The keeper situation needs addressing but weather it's the coach that needs changing or the keepers is open to debate.

I wouldn't sell him for £100 mill. Nothing to do with the value but it will be a wrong message to players who would want to join us. You cannot convince players on a project which sells their best players every year.
It's not the value he brings to the team it's his undoubted quality. What is the actual point in securing the CL of you at ready to accept money for players like Couts and Mane?

23.) 22 Mar 2017

Keeping him and adding a left winger will be the step forward. Not to sell him and try all summer to replace a like to like player. I feel sorry for people who counts on Lallana and want to sell Coutinho.

What is the point in securing CL if you are not going to keep your star players?

Attract good players by selling your best players. Brilliant, right? WRONG! Nonsensical argument, really. Good luck attracting good players by selling your best players. So cos Couts and Firmino (who when on form are unplayable) are having a dip in form, we should sell them. Thank heavens such "fans" on here don't run the club. We would be in the Conference with such daft thinking.

I would NEVER sell Couts nor Firmino nor any of our best players cos you need them to compete and attract other good players. Arsenal have been doing that and now look at them. And those kicking Couts and Bobbie while their down should hang their heads in shame for not supporting them in their time of need. Pathetic attitude from our "fans".

{Ed002's Note - If Coutinho goes it will because he wants to not becaase Liverpool want him to.}
