Coutinho flopped because so much was expected from him, he came with a huge fee. Messi is the star there, every player plays second fiddle to Messi. Coutinho is a good player but he would never be the teams star player.
I don't know if you can say he flopped. He was not the same player at Liverpool for sure, but he did himself ok at Barca, helped them win a few games and the same thing at Bayern too. I guess people just thought he should be a superhuman,,, but he played admirably if we are objective.
When you pay around 150mil for the player, it is logical that you expect from him to make some difference on the pitch. Now Barca wants to sell Coutinho for almost half of the paid amount. We have to agree that there is an evident problem with Coutinho out of Liverpool.
it seems like a similar thing to Griezmann, also are rumours that he might go in the direction to PSG.
Barcelona can sign any player they want to, even the best players and they also have the best player in the world in Messi, another reason why players will love to wear a Barca shirt. I am also sure it's almost every footballers dream to play for Barcelona, to play alongside Lionel Messi, it's true good coaches have been hard to come by for them in recent years, but it doesn't change the truth/fact that they can attract any player in the world to camp nou.
Coutinho flopped, but I think it was more of his fault than that of Barcelona, he found it difficult to adapt to the Spanish style of play, and I always felt he was better suited in England. Any new player who adapts to Barcelona's style of play and blends into the team will definitely succeed.
Players which come from Latin America like to come, I think the most about other non-football stuff. Similar language, climate... others, especially from top 4 leagues, they are not so in love with Barca.
After Suarez, which top player fits in Barca "style" football? Who is the best in their position and that it became irreplaceable there? Can you remember?
