I'm taking it as fact.

Coutinho, agreement reached

I just hope he's not as bad as Danny Ditchwater

Never heard of the guy but he's been big on this story last few days (before BBC ran with it) and also had a picture of Trippier getting on plan to go to Newcastle so he has some connections.

Very interesting link and pleased it's moving fast. Arguably one of our biggest signings in recent times as despite him going a bit dormant he's still played for Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Barca in last 5 years and well known around the world.

Would be big boost to get him in for both Man. United games as we'll certainly be getting plenty of space in central areas in those games.

Imagine how different Coutinho's career could have been after a couple of years with Lambert.

I think he would have struggled with the legendary Tom Cleverley holding down the number 10 slot.

There’s a Medical booked on Friday according to Whispers on Twitter.

Also says another signing is close.

Whether you believe it or not is a different matter. I take a hefty pinch of salt as, being a Villa fan, I feel naked without any pessimism.

Hope you and Simon are right on this one, it’s bloody exciting if true.

The Spanish based links I posted earlier are much more reliable. The one being one of the leading speakers on behalf of Barcelona. Both are aligned in Coutinho joining us.

Too right mate. If people can't get excited by this then I don't know what else to say.

This would be one of THE biggest transfers in our history.  Hopefully, the second signing is Hickey. Then on to the DCM.

Without scrolling back, just heard Coutinio on loan

Did you receive that by telegraph?

Telegram you mean but I guess you are far too young to know any better.

Would expect another CB in late but yes that would be excellent window as covers the positions we really need to fill in next 6 months and gives us time to shape a really good first 11 for 22/23.

If this happens, whether it works or not, it's a ballsy statement of intent by the club.

I forgot about the centre back.  Too soon for Feeney and Bogarde to step up I guess.

Massive if, but if he signs, what is the work permit situation like?
Would we have to wait weeks for him to be available? Anyone have any idea?
