This site and specifically this bloke Gerard Romero is well connected in Spain. Seems to think Coutinho is on his way to B6

Cunting Sky claiming he’s coming back to 1 out of 5 possible clubs when everyone else seems to think we’re in pole position and it’s almost there. I suppose it’s to keep all the Newcastle, Arsenal and Liverpool fans tuning in to hear the latest. Wankers.
Yes I saw that.
Considering they normally can’t keep their inane fucking jabberings to themselves, when there is a genuine rumour concerning Villa they go fucking mute.

Looks like it's on doesn't it?

Because I'm always wrong about everything, I confidently predict that this will be a disaster.

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

Coutinho's career is in free fall. Bombed spectacularly at Barca and even Bayern on loan. His options, bar playing for the Saudis in Newcastle, may be limited enough. Reeks of Bale or Hazard to me.

Seems a strange enough link given we spent huge money on Buendia in the summer in the same position and arguably he gave his best display for the club last game.

Buendia and Coutinho can play in the same team. They prefer different sides anyway, and Gerrard likes the ' two 10s' thing.

Not like you to look on the bright side, bronte!

a loan is a great idea - better than committing to a long deal on big wages.

Just a little reminder what Coutinho was like when he was last a PL footballer

I suppose at nearly 30 Coutinho is far too young to retire at Newcastle so we should have him for a season.

Plus he's not played a lot in the past 2 years anyway. He's got loads left in the tank.

We would be the first team to have a transfer stopped because their manager tapped a player up.

I'm sure we were linked with Coutinho when he was an Inter Milan player before Liverpool came in for him.

Or is he in semi retirement already like any amount of attacking Brazilian players once they hit their late 20s? Kaka and Ronaldinho come to mind.

In the worst ever signing chat, I'd really have to say it's Drinkwater. Players like Bowery and Tonev were utterly dreadful of course, but they were cheap punts. What makes Drinkwater the clear winner for me though:

1) Anybody with half a brain could see it was going to be a disaster. Hadn't played for two years, mostly due to injuries received from getting beaten up for being a twat.
2) His actual performances were dire as well, and made us worse on the pitch.
3) He's a real wrong 'un with a terrible attitude, as shown by butting his own teammate Jota in training. A player obviously much smaller and less physical than him, which marks him as a coward and a bully. Extra c*** marks for thinking that a Google translate apology was suitable.
4) Rumoured wages of £100K a week we were paying.

Agreed on Drinkwater. His debut against Man City is a low that no player will ever come near. Deano made a terrible error of judgement there.

We are signing Coutinho (apparently) so why am I not excited.

Got that Pires and Ginola feel to it.
Yes, how I feel about it.
