This is one of the main reasons I think it's been allowed to happen
He's like this now, can't even be contrite... so what's he been like behind the scenes this season? What's his team mates think?
We've seen him play without a smile on his face all season, hardly smiling when scoring goals.. looking a bit like a wet weekend
Yes he's contributed, but maybe selfishly? Don't get me wrong it's helped us win games but maybe Klopps just had enough of his attitude around the club
I'll never agree with the timing of the sale and I think the club or possibly klopp are piss poor in that respect.
But I also don't agree with having a player who doesn't want to be here and is potentially causing problems in the dressing room. He had to go for everybody's sake.
The timing of it stinks though. Whether it's FSG who want to balance the books after signing VVD (which is what I personally believe) or whether it's klopp who has taken coutinhos desire to leave as a personal insult and wants him out asap. Neither help liverpool on the pitch and that's the only thing that matters.
I've counted at least three current liverpool players (one being our current captain) who have posted a good luck message to him on social media, and one ex player too, which suggests he was a popular figure.
I know what you mean. He hasn't been as passionate this season I agree. But his performances haven't declined and if anything he has gotten better.
I think if he we had kept him he might have sulked a bit to begin with but he would have remained professional. I think he was professional this season. He has played well.
Hopefully the club and klopp have a few plans up their sleeve and a player or two will arrive this window because I'm not convinced we are strong enough without coutinho.
I'm annoyed with everybody involved in this deal.
