He's not a luxury as such, for the fee we have in place he's a great signing IMO, he's undeniably a quality player. The only observation is for some there's a 'thou shall not criticise Coutinho' maxim in play and Coutinho's short comings here are far too easily blamed on others. For instance I wonder why his performance yesterday is the fault of those around him yet Buendia comes on and does a lot better with the same players around him.
What I see with Coutinho so far is a player who on his day is top quality and almost unplayable but his day is like 1 every 4 or 5 matches maybe. Hopefully there's more to come, he arrived here having had a lot of inactivity and injuries, hopefully, if he does sign, he's a lot fitter and more consistent next season.
The opportunity to sign is simply one we cannot turn down at the end of the day.
