If Coutinho goes to Barcelona for £90m (hopefully not), then buying both Brandt and Ox would make sense in my opinion with money to spare.
Add in VVD and we have a good chance of challenging this season.

Neither of them would be anywhere near the quality needed to replace Coutinho and VVD is not an option for us. If as expected, Coutinho goes and we bring in Oxlade as his replacement, that is just repeating the mistakes of the past, selling top class players and bringing in mediocre players that simply aren't up to it. As for Brandt, he will be going to Bayern, I can't see any other scenario than that.

Neither should be an option coz they are wingers, not playmakers. We need a midfielder to replace Coutinho considering that's the position Klopp had assigned him to play in the future.

Ox preferred position is attacking mid. He plays out wide sometimes for Arsenal to accommodate Ozil or in the new wing back role because of his athleticism.
I think he would do well in our team. Brandt would be awesome on the left. Brandt, Salah and Mane fighting out for two wing spaces would be excellent competition for places.
Neither player is better than Coutinho. Players of his Cali calibre are out of our reach, but bringing in 2 quality players would soften the blow.

The best 'like for like' replacement we could hope for in my opinion would be Insigne, the lads got two right feet, good dribbler, and knows where the back of the net is and seems to have a lot of similar qualities to couts, I also believe Barcelona were looking at him earlier on in the year.
