There is news that Coutinho will not join the Liverpool squad that will break to Dubai because he was desperate to move his move to Barcelona soon completed. Really I'm not surprised and not bothered if indeed Coutinho joined Barcelona this month. In fact I already wanted him to go 6 months ago.
And now it's officially announced that Coutinho is new signing of FC Barcelona. Well, such big transfers rarely happens on winter transfer window. As fan of Barca, I'm happy. But it's a little strange decision. Coutinho will be not able to play in Champions league this season, because he already played for Liverpool this season. Why they weren't able to wait until summer?

Based on how much Barcelona is spending on transfer fees, soon they will have to sell Messi just to comply with Financial Fair-play. Cheesy Yes, I agree. Stupid move to bring in a player who can't play in Champions League. Also, Barcelona leads in Primera with a good advantage, so they can win Primera easily without Coutinho. Who knows what's really behind this transfer.

^ ^ Yup.  Ross Barkley has sooo much potential.  I'm glad he finally got out of Everton.  He needs to be in a bigger club, under the tutelage of a good coach.  I think Conte can get the best out of him.  But I wonder which position he'll play at Chelsea since he can play at AM, and the wings.

Excellent transfer for Chelsea. Barkley is young and good player.
He is young but, a good player? I mean, he's not a bad player but I don't know if he has the level to play at Chelsea, he does have potential but only if he plays regularly, otherwise, he'll be just another promising english player that never actually reached a high peak (Redmond, Walcott, etc etc).

On another note, seems like my predictions were wrong, and apparently, Coutinho is a Barcelona player. the agreement was reached on €120m + €20m , sources say he is now on his way to Spain. It will be interesting to see if Real Madrid will finally go for Hazard.

Now who's going to leave Barcelona? Deulofeu could return to Italy (rumours point at Inter), Rafinha could go to Celta, those two are the ones that I think won't have room in the squad with the arrival of Coutinho.
true it will be interesting thing if Real Madrid answers Barcelona signing of Coutinho with a mega signing like Hazard it's rumored that he refused a second renew offer that makes him the highest earner in the club but the problem is I doubt that Chelsea will let him leave in January also it's not beneficial enough for Madrid to get him in winter. They could try to work with the current players for this season and at summer they could get him or Kane or even both if they sell Cristiano or Bale if someone did not perform well enough in the second half Salah is another possible target for them but I doubt that Liverpool could sell him this time after Coutinho leaving.

-Chelsea bought Barkley from Everton for 15M

I was pretty confused by Everton's sale of Barkley. He's for sure worth more than 15m. It sounds like Big Sam is going to be stuck on preventing Everton from slipping into relegation and aiming only for Europa glory. I still think he's a really solid manager, but they really didn't need that 15m - I guess Ross himself will be relieved to be leaving.

ESPN rumour rater has Emre Can going to Man Utd, sometimes I feel these rumours get sillier by the day. I can't wait for Liverpool to just resolve all these players by July. Ship out everyone who wants to get out, get in everyone who wants to get in. But on the evidence of last 15 games, (minus the wins converted to draws haha), I wonder if Coutinho will change his mind. We all expect Barca to come knocking with an even bigger cheque, but I suspect that chequebook is running out of pages.

I believe Emre Can will join us (Juventus) after the World Cup. Coutinho will definitely join Barcelona some day. No club can keep a player if he wants to leave. The transfer fee is surely going to be over 180.000.000€ for Coutinho. And regarding Barkley I'm not surprised. You just can't compare Chelsea and Everton, although 15m really sounds little these days when an average defender is sold for 30m.

I don't believe Can come to Manchester United, it's ages since a Liverpool player played for Manchester United, Juve is a likely target for him. Coutinho will definitely move on to Barcelona, it's only a matter of time. However the two big news is Ronaldo is coming back to Manchester United and Messi could be a free agent. Can you imagine the salary he could earn if that happens. Chelsea made a steal deal buy buying Barkley if he manages to stay fit, he's a good buy for the Blues.


Messi just signed a new contract a few months ago. He will never be a free agent, he can only be a free agent if Catalonia proclaims independence. I don't think Catalonia will separate from Spain, at least not soon, and Messi is 30 like me, so not likely to happen. I read that he earns 46m annually at Barcelona, why would he leave?

Is he still refusing to go back to England?
He's now an Atletico Madrid player. He signed a contract with Atletico 3 months ago while still at Chelsea, now he's just waiting for the paperwork to be approved and he'll be able to play tomorrow.

Ah...  How convenient for him.  He not only got the transfer he wanted, he also had a nice vacation too.  Lol.  Was he paid the whole time he wasn't doing anything?  He should be training at least, to keep himself fit for his return to the games.
I believe he was getting paid since he still was a Chelsea player.

And as soon as the announcement was made, Costa went back to spain and started working with Atletico Madrid fitness coach Oscar 'The Professor' Ortega, so yeah, he's been training for the last 3 months so I'd say he's fit to play.

I believe hazards may not make Madrid transfer cause then they loose asensio and that brought Zidane and Perez to loggerheads, with RM struggling I guess Zidane shall be sacked if PSG thrashes them. Also Ronaldo is a all but done deal to Manchester United, thought at this age, he'll have more commercial value than as first team player. Mkitayan and Fellini both to depart for good.

To bring Eden Hazard to RM one player has to go, and I think that player is Benzema. But we'll see what happens with Bale, if he keeps getting injured then, the obvious choice would be him.

And I don't think Zidane will be sacked if PSG beats Real Madrid, Zidane has done what no other football manager has ever done, to win 2 champions leagues in a row, also, real madrid won 5 trophies last year (first time for real madrid). With all that in mind, I think the only reason why Zidane would leave RM is because he made the choice to leave the club.

Benzema?  No way, I think Bale is gonna go.  Hazard plays on the wing and so does Bale.  While Benzema plays at center forward unless something has changed at Real (I don't follow La Liga much).

And I think Zidane will not be with Real at the end of the season.  He will either leave or be given the sack.  How awesome would it be if he came to the EPL?  Grin

According to Yahoo sports Thomas Lemar have agreed to move to Liverpool after being linked for a long time for Arsenal and both Manchester clubs if this move go through means that Coutinho will move to the Catalan club .
Mourinho is on a hunt of three players this winter as it suggested that he wants a right back a left back and attacking midfielder it's possible for them to double swap Luke Shaw for Spurs Danny rose and Mekhitaryan for Inter's Jao Mario also PSG Brazilian winger Lucas Moura available to get at the right price.

yes, Liverpool is very close to Lemar if Coutinho goes to Barcelona. Lemar is priced at 100M!


-Valencia in January will definitely buy Guedes from Psg for 40M.

-Besiktas bought defender Vida from Dinamo Kiev. For him a contract until 2022

-Pjaca (Juventus) is very close to Schalke 04

Diego Costa may think 6 months ago is a break for him and now he should be able to give his best to the club that takes his break. Atletico madrid would expect something big from him. We know that this season Atletico Madrid's attacking line is not as good as the previous season, with the Costa, it is expected that Atletico attack line is much better than now.
