And this is why we are stuck in the mud, have been for years and will be for years unless something changes.
Because if you told Barca, Bayern, Real Madrid, or for that matter any club in the world that they could have one of Coutinho or Henderson for free, literally every single one of them would take Coutinho.
Whilst we somehow big up Henderson who offers literally nothing other than endurance. If we want someone to run around non stop then bring in Mo Farah. What we need in midfield is leadership, CONSISTENT quality, someone who takes control of games, not someone who goes missing in the big matches.
It's no wonder we keep losing our best players. Imagine if you're Coutinho and Barca comes in and says "f**king hell Phil, your own club thinks that you're not as important as Henderson."
He will be off next season while you lot say "oh well at least we still have Henderson."
We used to have Stevie, Xabi and Masch in our midfield. Have you lot forgotten what it really means to have top class quality in our midfield?
Now we have Jordan Henderson as our "most important player." We have fallen so far it's not even funny.
