Can Barcelona afford both Greizmann and coutinho in January?
I don't see how they can, they're not forking out £250 million no way
I think Phil will stay to the end of the season myself.

I hope he doesn't to be honest, I have everything crossed he's gone in January, I don't like players been here who don't want to be, it upsets the chemistry. But I do understand what your saying, I also wouldn't be surprised if he stops until summer and I agree they won't be getting both in Jan, one in Jan and one in summer if they happen at all.

What evidence has shown Coutinho has upset the chemistry of the squad?

I haven't seen any. His performances earlier on in the season weren't up to scratch but recently they've been as
good as ever and there has been no signs of any upset in the squad either.

I know he wants to leave. I am aware. However personally I don't see the need to sell him until we can receive a price we're happy with and in the summer when we can properly replace him. January is not a good tieme to buy.

@Salah you mean, you prefer 11set of Milners who wants to be here than Coutinho? There is a reason Coutinho wants to leave and that was the reason Milner wouldn't had signed for us in his elite career. That is winning, and i won't hate player for that. Modern game is expensive and we can cheat our way to success.
Players must be motivated by the ambition of the club administration.

Alhassan - you damn right I would rather have 11 players wanting to be here then Coutinho even if they are not to his quality yes I would. You obviously are happy with players here who don't want to be then? I never said I hated Coutinho for making his decision, I do agree players must be motivated, Coutinho is not anymore, not for us. He's had a few good games this season and suddenly all is forgiven? people forget about his back 'injury' and his invisible appearances the majority of the season.

Navy Keith - Do you really think we'll get a price we want for him? I'm not so confident mate, if we keep delaying this, Barcelona will move on, then what, we could be stuck with a player who doesn't want to be here. Sooner he's gone the better, having said that I do understand why people don;t want him to be sold until the summer, he has been making a difference recently, but not as consistent as he once was this season he seems to be a different player, his heart isn't in it, he needs to go.

Tough one to call, his contributions of late (assists goals) are reason enough to keep him, he's cup tied for the CL and Barcelona are walking LaLiga, no rush is in anyone's interest apart from Couts or his family.
Disappointed as I am with him for his behaviour at the start of the season, I think he's clicking back in to gear at just the right time, and i hope he stays till summer.
I'm very fickle wanted him gone 1st of Jan just 2weeks ago.

Barca can have him in the summer, not before.

Man if you want to win silverware you have to keep your best players. Keep coutinho add one central defender who can make the difference.

His work rate has not been the best but i think its unfair to say that's not because he doesn't care, he's had a rather hectic 6 months, im sure its not intentional.

On the ball, his ability seems to be rising with every game. I have often scoffed at people who have claimed before he is close to world class. i've felt for a while he is one dimensional and spends far too much time cutting inside and shooting from distance. But his game has gone up a level this season. His skills and touch are frightening, he seems to be making better decisions on the ball. He looks well on his way to being considered in the echelons of hazard, silva, de bruyne and iniesta.

VakPa - 1. He's not our best player 2. We can't keep a player who wants to leave.

Of course you can keep a player who wants to leave, he has a contract. Whether you should keep him is a different matter.
