Ed002, can I ask if Neymar transfer is at all related to Barcelona approach for coutinho? I don't want to get into money side of things but if I remember correctly I read on here some time ago that giving Messi a new contract would financially be very expensive to them and id they didn't sell Neymar would they be able to complete let's say a €100m transfer for coutinho aswel as what they have already spent? (I think they recently purchased semedo from benfica and I'm not sure if they have bought anyone else)

{Ed002's Note - It is nothing to do with it - Barcelona want an Iniesta replacement and Coutinho is second choice and has been for a long time - and they cannot get their first pick. They do need to move players on and will be doing that.}

Who is first pick? I was going to hazard a guess. but Hazard actually was my guess.

{Ed002's Note - Verratti.}

Would anything rule Liverpool out of bidding for Verratti then?
Just curious that if he is that good of player then why not replace coutinho with Barca's first choice that they were unable to sign. Unless the same issues they have with signing him would also prevent us doing so aswell.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool has no interest in Verratti and I would think there is no chance whatsoever that he would be interested in a move to Liverpool.}
