did you read any of my comment given that I didnt mention ACN in the slightest ?
He is 30+ , he is still going to cost a fair amount and he will have a potential significant injury concern going forward

No thanks. He pretty much forced an acrimonious transfer to Barca, he's had a serious injury recently and he's 29. Not to mention the fact he's an overrated luxury player anyway. Far too hit and miss and not enough work. We did brilliantly to get what we did for him and buy vvd and Alisson with the money. We've moved on.

I'm guessing the Daka to Liverpool rumours are nonsense? I'd have assumed if he was going anywhere it would be to Leipzig.
They certainly seem to be gathering pace, I'd be very happy if it proves true, Daka was one of the players I said a while ago that I would like us to sign, he scores goals for fun.
Seems to of picked up more and generated more talk as his international manager has said he was left out to sort his future
Well we'd just pay the debt on Barca's behalf...
Wouldn't want us to though, I don't see how he fits into how Klopp wants to play, or who he gets in the side over

I think Coutinho’s a bit of a busted flush now. I wouldn’t go near him for £50m
It won't happen but if the deal was right I'd take him back. He's not become a bad player over the past couple of seasons, he's just had some terrible luck with injuries and has been a victim of the madhouse that Barca have become over the last few seasons. His last 18 months for us were outrageous, averaging a non penalty goal or assist every 95 minutes in the PL and CL. If you could get a third of that output from him you'd have a player.
He's somebody that thrives on being the centre of a side though (and why he's struggled at Barca with Messi around) - he's made for a side like Spurs or Arsenal, where he'd be the main man.

I agree on the Arsenal one, I think Coutinho would do very well at Arsenal.

They need to get it done before the Euro's and then get cracking with the rest.
Hes a very very good young player that needs game time. That would be a good move for both parties.
I'm torn on whether I want Elliott going out on loan again next season. If we can shift both Origi and Shaqiri, even assuming we sign another forward this summer, then Elliott will have opportunities to play next season. While it would be great for him to go and play regularly elsewhere, I do wonder whether staying and playing a quarter of the number of minutes but learning from players like Thiago and Salah would serve him better.
Ive just remembered the Afcon aswell. Id be ok if we brought in a Daka or similar tbh but we will leave ourselves short when 2 of the front 3 go away for 6 weeks.
Arsenal were never involved, they do it every year to sell season tickets.
