We already touched upon this a little somewhere I believe. Worse things have been told and forgiven. However, Klopp being a really passionate and authoritative person, do you see him forgiving Couts and integrating him to the squad? We all know he didn't Sakho. One difference could be that Couts wanted a move, not because he does not buy into Klopp and his long term plan, but majorly due to the pull of Barcelona.

Why would he not want him sold if he doesn't want to integrate him back into the squad? If he had no intention of doing so he would sell him.

Also look at the dortmund players that he wanted to stay but they moved to bayern instead (lewandowski, hummels, götze) he still cuddled with them when we faced bayern. I think Klopp has a bif heart and ubderstands coutinhos situation.

Klopp is very passionate and all that BUT having read an interview he gave years ago, the guy does not hold any grudges especially regarding his players not wanting to stay. remember, he wanted to bring Gotze here last season which shows you that he understands his players first, on the human level, which is essential to be successful. He understands Cou's situation (even tho Cou orchestrated the whole thing himself) and would integrate him ASAP provided Cou's head is right.
