    He seems a bit of a loose canon alright! But sure **** it, what harm.
    Eccentric is sometimes what's needed. As long as he's not as cracked as Balotelli

    Maybe he made the Dutch news a bit more because he kept van der Wiel out of the PSG team but that guy has to be very, very grateful he can kick a ball.
    Because without it he would be in jail or dead.

    At least Balotelli hasnt hit a police man (yet) afaik

    You'd have to love the arrogance of Barca if they were whiter than white but reporting PSG for tapping Neymar while they are in the middle of tapping up Coutinho very publicly just takes their fcuk you to the rest of football to a new level.

    I doubt there's much tapping up required at all for Coutinho.

    I understand Neymer was the tapper rather than the tapee

    On what do you base this, he seems very happy where he is.

    You could be signed up to start central midfield if you aren't careful.

    It's Barcelona. He's lived in the city before, he's Brazilian, of course he wants to move.

    He told you that did he?

    I used common sense. Powerful tool.

    What self respecting person would dare turn down mes que un club. Where the president plays at CB and they represent the fight for their country. Never in the history of football would anyone turn down the mighty Barcelona.

    Do you not find this obvious?

    7 pages on the height of the man united team. If only we had a united super thread to facilitate such compelling debates.

    If you used common sense you may have came to a completely different conclusion.

    Couthino has already stated he wishes to stay with Liverpool and Klopp has confirmed this in the last few days.

    Common sense tells me he's staying where he is for the time being anyway.

    Maybe in two years time you'll see him in Barca but most definitely not next season.

    Well the sort of bull**** that was spouted would be called a lot quicker in the United thread..

    Also 7 pages? Your doing boards wrong

    The fact that he played for Espanyol might mean that he doesnt want to play for Barcelona.

    It could be in 2 years, it could be a lot sooner.

    Hopefully we sign Crouch for extra hoofball danger.

    He would add alot, would be cheap and is homegrown too.

    Win win.

    Drinkwater to Chelsea is a strange one but a very talented cm all the same. Think it's only a matter of when now for Neymar. Actually looking forward to seeing him shine for PSG in the champions league.

    He isn't from the Catalan region, so that mightn't be as much of an issue for him as it would be for a local.

    Quite the opposite. Lived in the city for a while, will probably have mingled a bit with Barcelona's players. Issue isn't whether Coutinho wants to join, it'll just be the price Liverpool want.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    Pochettino to Barca soon so.

    Way to take things out of context...good job guy!

    Thats your opinion becuase you are a huge Barca fan. I'm not saying it will definitely be an issue.

    For instance Ponchecttino said he wouldnt manage Barca due to Espanyol allegiance.

    And City with all the money they spent finished fourth. Maybe they need to have a look at that.

    Finished 3rd, had to set that straight. :)

    If Brazilians who have lived in Barcelona like Coutinho find it so irresistible to join the club its extremely strange that a Brazilian who has lived in Barcelona like Neymar now wants to leave the club. :pac:

    But he did join the club...he's been at the club for 4 seasons, he's won a Champions League, a couple of leagues and some Copa Del Rey's. Did you miss that stuff?

    Anywho ignoring AIG again for sake of the thread but sticking with Brazilian transfers.


    Richarlison a 20 year old Brazilian forward from Fluminense has agreed to join Watford for £13 million subject to work permit.
