As they are right now would you trade in Coutinho for Suarez?

It's International week so for fun.

Blatantly robbed off @brazilstats2 on Twitter:

You have a choice to make. You can swap Coutinho for Suarez as they are right now. Age, level, everything.

Take into account how long Suarez has got playing at the top level but while doing so you might want to weigh up how long you think Coutinho will be at Liverpool.

Yes or no?

Poll up and I think I've done it so guests can vote.

Luis for me.

Once in a lifetime player.

Suarez, he's a one man goal/assist machine.

Suárez all day for me. Even if hes what? 5 years older?

Coutinho

Suárez all day for me. Even if hes what? 5 years older?

Traitor. Look at your avatar

F**k Suarez!!  He had his chance to stay and become a club legend and instead turned his back on us in order to go to Barca.  You all sound like a jealous ex-lover begging for one more round to ease the pain.  Better to just cut ties and move on.  We've got a new darling now, and his name is Philippe

Suarez. One of the greatest to have ever played the game.

We'd piss the league if he came back.

It'd have to be Suarez for me definitely, I think Coutinho will be out of here in the summer. I don't think Suarez would upset the balance or anything and would improve the team immensely. The only thing would be that the shitty media wouldn't shut up about him being horrible when we have arseholes like 70s pube head who consistently elbows people in the face endangering their actual life without much being said or action taken.
  Would the referees be on the lookout for any excuse to appease the crappo press and FA? yes they would but Luis would have scores 20 goals by then.
 Coutinho is a lovely footballer but we're very lucky that we have Lallana, Mane and Firmino who could provide that type of service for us.

After Kenny, Luis is the best player I have seen in a liverpool shirt so I have voted for him.

If we take Philly out of the side at the moment, he can be covered. When Suarez left, it took us until now to fill his gap and I still don't think we have properly . Imagine how many we would have scored with him in this season side?

Of course I would!

Greatest striker on the planet for the last 4 season? 

We would smash the league this season with Suarez up top.

It has to be Suarez for me knowing this will never happen,so we have to get right behind Coutinho and give him our full support.

In a heartbeat.

Swap, without a single moment of hesitation.

I love Cou, think he's our best player at the moment but I just think what Suarez offers is exactly what this team would need to take us into CL winning contenders, not just league contenders. Of course that would require everyone to stay fit and we would lose some of our threat from outside of the box.

A front 3 of:

           Suarez
    Firmino     Mane

The opposition would need oxygen masks at half time.

I understand that Cou has a longer time in the game left, but Suarez has never really relied on pace so I don't think his fall off would be dramatic and could see him going on into his mid 30s.

I think if Jürgen could have his own go of weird science and invent the perfect footballer for him then it would be Suarez that materialised.

We need a poll for this? Suarez, obviously!

There is a poll?

There is a poll?

There is?!?

More Brexit bullshit, they said they'd all be gone by now..... not surprised though, fkin politicians!

Wow, mouth watering!

I'll take the madman..

Coutinho for me.

As much as I enjoyed having Luis he fu**ed off when we needed him most after spending the 3 years he was with us trying to engineer a move away.

I'd swap plus 30 million. No offence to Phil but Luis under Klopp and we would probably piss the league by January.

Coutinho for me.

As much as I enjoyed having Luis he fu**ed off when we needed him most after spending the 3 years he was with us trying to engineer a move away.

I love Luis but I sort of go along with this one. I'll take Coutinho. Not because I believe he's a better player but because he has worked hard along with the coaching team and his team mates to reinstate Liverpool's level equal to and arguably above that of the team Suarez played in three years ago. Besides, Suarez had his time here, he chose to leave so that should be that. As things stand, I wouldn't change a thing.

I think I got over Luis's loss once Klopp signed for us last year. He's a memory now rather than a yearning desire (not in that way)! It was far more important having a great manager at Liverpool FC than having a great player and I think Jürgen is proving that this year.

Suarez was once in a life time force like Dalglish however being pragmatic he has probably peaked where as the ceiling for Couts is much higher so just on that its the little magician for me.

Coutinho for me.

As much as I enjoyed having Luis he fu**ed off when we needed him most after spending the 3 years he was with us trying to engineer a move away.

This !!
People tend to forget that he tried to F**k off whenever he was presented with an opportunity,including the previous year to Arsenal;not sure he`d even agree with the swap.

After Kenny, Luis is the best player I have seen in a liverpool shirt so I have voted for him.

Can't be argued with.

Suarez is the best out and out striker of a generation, hands down.
When Cou starts banging in 30 goals a season consistently, i'll back him all the way.

Can't be argued with

I think Luis will play at the top level till he's in his late 30s. He's one of the physically fittest footballers I've ever known and isn't reliant on pace at all. No contest for me, still adore Phil though.

Used Liverpool as a stepping stone? Tried to engineer a move , even in the previous season? No thanks. No matter how good the player he was, I just never missed him TBH.

Coutinho without a doubt, and he has plenty of time to become even better.

Can't be argued with.

Not so sure considering Stevie G is regularly in the greatest ever Liverpool player argument.

I'd have a prime Steven Gerrard over Luis personally, nothing he couldn't do on a football pitch at his peak and he put away 20 goals a season.

As for the opening question, would do the swap without a seconds thought, Suarez is just something else.

Coutinho for me, although I loved Luis while he was here, and still do, but he's gone. Absolutely fantastic player, but he didn't want to be here. I'm more interested in the here and now.

Keep Phil.

I think that soon (very soon) he will just explode and score every long range bomb he hits, and all of a sudden he will be on 20/30 goals a season.

I love Luis though, best player I have seen play, but like others have said, i feel he has peaked when Phil has more to come.

nothing he couldn't do on a football pitch at his peak

Execute a clean tackle inside our own area?

Execute a clean tackle inside our own area?

Or come to think of it, execute a solid defensive header...can still remember that league cup final in 05

In an impulse I clicked Coutinho as he's fresh in my head, but Let's be honest, Suarez is one of the top 2 players in the world

I'd chuck in the wife, my kids and all of half my vinyl collection to secure the deal.................... ...

Phil is very good for us and getting better and more consistent...........

BUT (and it's a biggy!!)

Suarez was great for us and is even greater now. He (scarily) looks a yard quicker and even more powerful to me in 2016.

Totally agree mate. 

As much as I hate all the talk of Cou possibly going in the summer I'm quite confident, if it does happen, that we'll have a plan to not let it be devestating.

half my vinyl collection

Love the priorities there mate 

It's another head scratcher this...I like most would almost cum in my pants whenever Luis strutted his stuff and it's true he is a one off,  probably one of the best players to Don our shirt, however, he's gone and is now part of our history,

Phillllippe is now and the future, he is evolving wonderfully into a truly world class player, our player,  I don't get ppl thinking he's off next summer, we're done selling our big players,,

We as a club are on the brink of a golden era, the players know it we know it, and under Klopp Cou knows he's the manager who will get the very best out of him in the system that suits him to a tee,

With a heavy heart I voted for Cou cos he is the here and now and the future.

YNWA

Swap, without a single moment of hesitation.

Luis .


Unique .

If Coutinho, really insisted on leaving, Liverpool could command a really huge fee. In all honesty hope it would not come to this, especially with Jürgen Klopp, at the helm. Suarez made it clear that he wanted out. All things considered I would stick with Coutinho.

If all this Coutinho going to Barca business actually turns out to be true then we need to push for the swap!

No - as great a player as Luis is, I don't think we need to do anything to disrupt this team.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Luis Suarez....quite simply one of the very best players i've ever seen pull on a red shirt, I think Coutinho will also be a tremendous player for us but for now my heart says luis.

I think if you approach this from a more sentimental point of view you might say that Luis left us blablabla and so you don't want him back. Seems to me like a pretty childish way of looking at things, but I guess it is somewhat valid, as long as you don't delude yourself over who's the better player, because the answer is Suarez.

So since sometimes I'm a childish, sentimental f**ker I would say I'd keep Coutinho because I love the kid and even though I don't hate Suarez or anything like it, I'm over that story.

However, if my life depended on winning the title this particular season, I would go for Suarez in a heartbeat.

Luis for me. A goal scoring machine. Watching all his goals on LFCTV makes me want to cry. He made something out of nothing and defenders sh*t their pants every time he ran at them.

Voted to keep Coutinho We're top of the table again. And Cou has been our best player - most MOTMs, still only 24!!!, has played absolutely brilliantly this season so far, incredible vision and skill at pace, has started to score regularly, and play to a high level consistently. The way this side plays, he is our most important player.

Absolutely loved Luis when he was here, came so close to winning a title playing brilliant football. But he has moved on, that time is past, for me Coutinho is the future (if he keeps going the way he is).  In saying that, I'd probably swap any other player in the squad for Luis, just not Cou If we go on and win the title (and God I hope we do) our biggest challenge will be keeping our best player.

Love the priorities there mate 

I've got some great vinyl Debs - and I'd have more time to listen to it with them 3 beggars over in Barca!

Mind - that's a great city too. Could live there myself

My heart says couts, my head says Louis.
Couts creates a lot of assists, as well as scoring a few, but for putting he ball in the old onion bag, there's no one on the planet to match louis imo.

Louis VXI of France that lost his head in the revolution? Louis Tomlinson from 1 Direction fame? Louis Vuitton the fashionista?

Yeah same here mate but ours is all safely packed away along with the decks. 

This is like asking to choose between your children (or, dogs as I don't have kids - one of which I named Luis and ironically loves biting stuff).

If Phil keeps this form up there's no reason why in the future he'd have more people picking him but it has to be Luis.

Second best player I've ever seen wear our shirt. A frontline of Phil, Luis, Bob and Mané would be unbelievable.

Totally different types of players, would take Suarez all day long as much as i love the little man

Suarez. Coutinho is a great player to have but very few reach the level Suarez is at.

Love Coutinho and he has gone up a gear or two this season but he still isn't on the level that Luis is. There are only 3 or 4 players in the world that are.

It's irrelevant whether Luis left us or not, comparing them as footballers then Suarez is the clear winner and he strengthens any team in the world immensely.

If we keep the current team, win the league, start well in the champions league - he may come back

but to answer the question - he is the best number 9 I have ever seen, so no competition really - sorry Phil you are the bollox, but not at his level yet.

Used Liverpool as a stepping stone? Tried to engineer a move , even in the previous season? No thanks. No matter how good the player he was, I just never missed him TBH.

Coutinho without a doubt, and he has plenty of time to become even better.

Scored two or more goals in five consecutive home games, first premier league player to score ten goals in a single month, with a total of thirty one goals in thirty three matches and all this having missed the first ten games of the season thus injecting the fear of god into most defences, as well as giving Norwich nightmares, all resulting in helping take us to within a whisper of the Premier League title. And that's just 13/14. Last season he scored fifty nine goals in all competitions, becoming the top goal scorer in La Liga with the second highest amount of assists, helping Barcelona win the title. Without the slightest doubt Luis 'The best player on the planet' Suarez.

Suarez or Mignolet?

I know that already. I still wouldn't want him back. He was gone. End of it. No more looking back.

Taking also Suarez meniscus problem would have to be keep Couthino.

And they call Milner Mr Versatile

Cou has improved by leaps and bounds and I was very harsh on him before but he did improve and will continue to improve. At one point he was getting so much complaints and he never let that affects him and he continue to train hard. After all the hard work he put in to reach where he is now and to now swap him for Suarez, I wouldn't do that. Player to player, yes Suarez is an overall better player at the moment but I think Cou deserves to stay. Suarez wanted to leave and he left and that chapter has closed for good as far as I'm concern.
