Genuine question: if we successfully signed both Keita and VVD this summer, do you guys reckon Coutinho would still try to force his way out?
I'm sure by now most of us supporters have felt a massive disappointment with our summer transfers, but I wonder what the top players in the team feel about it?
Bar Henderson, Coutinho has been at the club longer than anyone else in the main squad. How do you think he feels about us constantly selling our best players and replacing them with average players? How does he feel about seeing his best efforts consistently being nullified by our atrocious defense? He's at his peak right now, and like other world-class players, he's entitled to have the ambition of winning trophies. Whatever our club is doing doesn't point toward that direction and the players can see it.
Don't take me wrong, submitting a transfer request the day before the start of the season is a dick move. But I do sympathize for the lad a bit. I think he's also being misled by his agent and all the F***ing tapping up from Barcelona. I don't mind him staying with us this season and I believe he will still give us his best. Because let's face it, no matter how much we sell him for, we're not gonna do F**k all with that money.
