I don't think Sky would make that up, as they'd look stupid. Either way it's easy for the player to come out and say something himself.
They make a load of stuff up...it wouldn't be the first time they've been wrong.
Id trust the LFC journos such as Pearce and Reddy over that lot.
If Sky are reporting it you can be sure the opposite is true, they're full of **** the majority of the time.
And surely Liverpool have a better idea whether a transfer request has gone in than SSN? Liverpool would look even more stupid than Sky if they're claiming he hasn't if it turns out he has.As would I, but the LFC journalists are only repeating what the club have told them.
It will be interesting to see what happens now.
But to come out with such a bold story literally 2 hours after Liverpool released a statement saying he won't be sold under any circumstances is a bit odd. You wonder what may be brewing behind the scenes and what Coutinho really wants.
It's possible that somebody has told Sky that he will hand a transfer request in but Sky have jumped the gun and that he hasn't actually done so yet.Perfect opportunity for sensationalist stories, they will be loving the publicity. I don't believe a word Sky say, haven't done for years look at how excited they get for transfer deadline day, they love the rumours.

What's my stance? All I've ever said is that I don't believe there's any possibility of Coutinho leaving unless a mega offer comes in. I've never said Coutinho wouldn't want to join Barca, I've said the opposite in fact but that I don't think it will change anything from Liverpool's point of view.i admire your stance, BaZ87. i for one didn't see this happening. not little pip!
