The Philippe Coutinho Thread

[Moose66]

He seems a very humble person with magic in his feet.
Oh and bloody fantastic tune to come on stage to

I am so happy with this. Don't care if he is supposedly out of form ( he isn't anyway, you could see that Tuesday). Get past this modern fan mentality of one game someone is brilliant, next game they are crap and should benched/not signed. Every single thing about his career up to this point and the way he has started with us says ....Fucking Class . And class is permanent.

Things just have come off for him the last few games, thats it. This might also be his longest run of games without being injured in a while too. Pre-season and a fe better players around him and I am sure there'll be little to no question marks.

£29,952 million in wages over the term of his contract fuck me that's a lot of money

"Newcastle United have made contact with Philippe Coutinho in a bid to thwart Aston Villa's attempts to sign the 29-year-old Brazil attacking midfielder on a permanent deal from Barcelona." #NUFC

I think the 50% sell on clause is a bit of a damp squib.

If his contract is up to 2026 he'd be about 34, so I doubt if we'd get much for him then.

The other alternative is that he tears up the Premiership next season, Man Citeh come in for him and we sell him for £100m........

Why? I don’t think we’ve signed him with the intention of selling him on to make a few quid

That'd buy a lot of Brazilian corned beef

The sell on fee is just for Barca to save face. Barca would let him go for nothing if the fan base wasn’t so critical of them.

Just had a message from the Club, "Coutinho's signed now your turn" renew your season ticket.
They waste no time do they @Melon Donkey

No pressure on Coutinho then, but we all know that we will need more than one player to get us firing on all cylinders.

Absolutely buzzing. What a deal. Full credit to all involved. No one can knock this bit of business.

I’m sure someone can…

But agreed, fantastic business, a proper marquee signing at last. Can’t think of anyone higher profile we’ve ever signed.

Let's put it this way. If you were sat in a half empty Villa Park five years ago and the bloke in the row behind told you that in five years time we would sign Coutinho from Barcelona for £17 million you'd have had him sectioned.

Quality signing and just what is needed if we wanted to push on and at under a tenth of what barca paid for him.

Yet l was proved right.

Welcome (again) Phillipe!

It works out at £144k per week.

But but Spurs also had a 'secret' option on him. Morons.
