Been thinking the same recently myself.
If we sold Coutinho we could redevelop the Annie Rd end and have £40+mil left over.
I’m not saying to do it but that option is there.

I’m more interested in what our defence is gonna do against their aerial prowess.

No Clynes still out.
Can see Milner starting in a fullback position.

Team I predict for tonight is…
The same as the weekend apart from the fullbacks. I can see changes being made there. Don’t see what we can change elsewhere with the injuries we have.

True FSG will look very silly and bring a lot of criticism their way if they now sell Coutinho however the statement they made was BEFORE Coutinho handed in the transfer request.

Yes. The second worse in the league.
Abysmal.

I believe this Coutinho situation has turned so ugly because Barca had Neymar bought from them leaving them short of a player, short in time to find a replacement but rich in cash.
They reportedly told Coutinho that the move happens now or never in order to place massive pressure on him to leave this summer.
This doesn’t excuse Coutinho behaviour, this is just to give some context of how this situation has developed.
Unfortunately we are now left in the situation where we may be left without an important player, very little time to find a replacement but loads of cash swilling about.
God only knows if the owners will stand firm but if they do Coutinho must remember it’s a World Cup year and he’ll want to perform in order to ensure he’s picked and is in good form going into the finals.

Can only concentrate on Hoffenheim at the minute.

I’m happy for Coutinho to go as long as we make Barca pay through the nose AND we are able to replace him for a reasonable amount.
That’s 2 big caveats that I’m not sure can be met.

Lallana is gonna be out for approx 3 months during a very busy period of important games. If we then lose Coutinho, who plays attacking midfield? As we seen yesterday we need someone to link midfield and attack.

I just don’t think we have enough time left to replace Coutinho AND sign another centreback and midfielder. That’s too much business to get done in 2+ weeks.

Sorry, when I say he’s done I mean as a footballer. His legs have gone. There’s a reason Barca want rid. We don’t want him.

Rakitic is done.
These money plus player deals rarely come off.

What replacement do you think we can get in with approx 3 weeks left?

Id tell Barca to do one and tell Coutinho he’s to give us one more season then he can leave next summer if that’s what he wants.
There’s not enough time left in this window to find and buy replacements.

The one problem I can see though is how will Coutinho react to his?
Will he knuckle down and play away or will he strop?
I can see Klopp talking him on board for another year.
You have to remember Klopp spent his time at Dortmund having his best players bought from
under him every season. I’m not sure he’d put up with it again.

Confirmed that request was sent in by email.
Club saying this changes nothing, he’s not for sale.

God knows what’s gonna happen!

The rumour of transfer request has been said to be nonsense by reliable sources.

Hightown, do you do find it strange that despite VVD handing in a transfer request and publicly criticising the club there’s been no official statement from Southampton?

I think he’s coming and this is all just a PR exercise.
I put up a theory I’d heard on the other site about it.

Official club statement.
Coutinho is going nowhere.

Now let’s get VVD and Naby signed up.

I genuinely don’t think he’s going anywhere.
It just doesn’t make sense.

He’s not for sale.
He’ll be a Liverpool player come Sept 1st.
