On SKY's transfer talk at lunchtime, they said Villa were not interested in Coutinho

That surely means he'll arrive after lunch and SKY will flap about saying how out of the blue the transfer is, like a deal from yester year.

I’m not massively confident it would work out (if it happens) but I’d be very happy if we at least gave it a go on loan. Still only 29 and obviously knows Gerrard well.
And yes, DM and LB etc should still be priority.

The Guardian/Fabrizio Romano are reporting it. They tend not to put it out if there's nothing in it. It all sounds very expensive to me, though it's not my money.

Any money should be prioritised to a dynamic left back and a defensive midfielder. All summer, a large number on the forum pointed out how much of a priority a defensive midfielder was. With Nakamba now injured it would be negligent not to sign one. Will probably have to pay over the odds for a top one, but that's for the club to solve with a problem that should have been fixed months ago when more options were available.

Coutinho would be in line with Gerrard’s comments about an exciting player, but I’d be surprised if he arrived here.

I’m not sure he was worse for Villa than Drinkwater. Worse overall yes, but for Villa Drinkwater was an absolute horror show.

Romano's whole schtick is always being right, so if he's stuck his head over the parapet then there's got to be something in it.

I'm too young for Tommy Craig, but I will not accept that we had a worse player than Carlos Sanchez (and I include Ally Sissokho in that).

Hahahahahah! SB, if someone prides themselves on being accurate, that's not a 'schtick'!
