MachoFantastico Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Welcome Philippe, an exciting signing however you look at it. The fact that people are even comparing him to the likes of Barkley and Drinkwater makes me sick, they don't have 5% the talent that he does. Different leagues. That said, hope he gets time to settle and get back to pace in the PL. I'm sure Stevie G will be cautious of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Brazil is still bitter about losing that title at Ipswich. Always hated the Villa. Trying to sell Jack, McGinn & Mings to United the whole first season back up. But he is a gatterhead thats about to explode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he regains half of his form that would be an absolute steal. I know Barca are financially still in a pickle but that seems insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Looking at Coutinho's positions he seems to play often in the middle... However, Sky have been showing his goals at Liverplop and he seems to be left-side and then drift in and on to his right foot. He's likely going to play left-side presumably?

Had a 10 minute segment with 2 journalists on Tripier, talked about what's next for Newcastle then the anchor mentioned Coutinho before cutting to ad break Edited January 7, 2022 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 7, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 7, 2022 I know it sounds stupid but the actual player hitting it off or not doesn't matter as much as the actual signing! There are levels to this player gathering game and we have just jumped up 1 outside of these Isles! Make no excuse this is good news all round! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
