Coutinho would be good for a team like Arsenal or Chelsea, the thing is I don’t think Barca will want to let him leave cheaply. A new club isn’t going to want to pay big bucks for a player who hasn’t been at his best for 2 years now so there’s a problem. Barca might just have to take the hit & let him go for 50-60 million pounds, it’s better to do that than another pointless loan.

I don't think Lampard would be willing to spend that much on a player that obviously will the thinking he's bigger than the club. If we can get him via loan then no biggie, we the fans will accept him to come give his best and contribute to the attacking force of the team but the new squad Lampard is building won't be a dependant one like the previous squad that depended solely on hazard to create the magic (chances) in every game.

Coutinho made one of the greatest mistakes in his life by leaving Liverpool and thankfully klopp did all he could to advice him but he didn't listen.

^^Exactly. Barcelona would only let him go for a good bid that hits the mark and I don't think club will be interested in spending that much money for out of form player. Even I also don't think Arsenal or Chelsea are that much interested since there are lot of capable and young talent to go out for. They might have an interest in him but given his form , I don't think club will be giving him that much priority to get into the team.

I remember reading somewhere that Klopp was actually  begging Coutinho to stay in Liverpool.
He told him that nowhere would he be so accepted and respected as in Liverpool.
Unfortunately Coutinho disobeyed his advice and went to Barcelona while during that time Liverpool became the best club in England and the world.
In my opinion he made very bad decision.

I don't see a scenario in which Coutinho would return to Liverpool. Liverpool is a changed team now, one that does not tolerate people holding on to the ball for too long, spamming shot after shot from 30 yards and not participating in defense.

Coutinho was great for Liverpool, technically would probably still be the best player at the club, but they could not find a way for him to fit neither into Barcelona or Bayern team. He would still be expensive and he's just not as good as he thinks he is.

Coutinho made a choice, he left and we benefited greatly by spending that money on Alisson & Van Dijk. Coutinho is a good player, he hasn’t played his best football since he left us though. I don’t think Klopp would take him back, I’m not sure where his next move will be tbh.

I agree with you, if Coutinho comes back to Liverpool I think he can only disrupt the harmony in the team. any comeback is not a very good move (ask Pogba and MU). He played well, he wants more even if I think Liverpool is the greatest club than Barcelona. I hope Klopp will not bring him back, players must learn to respect the club they play for.
Also, Coutinho maybe can be more realistic. He is not in the top class in the last few seasons, so he can try with "smaller" club and with the lowest salary. He needs to play and get his carrier back.

OK so I know I am Spurs hopelessly but Manchester United lost in a friendly to Championship team,,, so surely with Kane back fully fit, together with Son we have to be at least 50-50 to win against them right?

I agree with you.
He is now like another "Pogba " or "Jovic ", players with great potential but they "somehow " became lost cases.
To much popularity,  pressure,  money,  who know but it seems  Coutinho will be another good player who couldn't fulfil his full potential.

Philippe Coutinho wants to return to Liverpool since he didn't have a place to play in starting eleven. From CNN, Countinho asking Klopp to bring him back to the clubs. He was ready to join with lower wages in Liverpool. But, there a rumor if several teams also want this player such as MANU, Chelsea and Arsenal. I think, when a player decides to join his old clubs for the second time, maybe it will easy for the manager to granted player requests. But, everything still possible, because the chances not just in Liverpool.

Question is Coutinho worth now for Liverpool. Liverpool is filled up with good players now and in his position I think there are already some very good players even in bench like Nketiah, Minamino and more. Plus Barcelona paid €160 million for him and with the position of Barcelona right now, I hardly think they will let them get him for a much lesser bid. Now is Coutinho still worth going for? I hardly think so.

The ban is going to start from next year its has no effect on this year.

The ban is not yet confirmed. Also, if they get the ban, it is still not clear if it would start in the 2020/21 or 2021/22 season.

Regarding Arsenal - I think they have no chance against City. They do not have anything that can trouble City, are a type of team that City likes to play against and are inferior all over the pitch.
I'd like them to take something out of the game though, the faster Liverpool are crowned champions the better.

Am I the only one who thinks Arsenal is going to win this game?
No, you're not alone [I may be biased].

- A Black Lives Matter logo will be on shirts for the rest of the season
~Snipped~
What do you think?
The right decision at the right time or they shouldn't have made such a decision?
I'm fine with the slogan part and think it's a step in the right direction but not so sure about the logo part for the remainder of the season [it depends on its looks].

these same Arsenal lost a friendly match to a championship side about two days ago and you saying they are going to win Manchester City,
A friendly match means nothing + they don't have any fans and Arteta might know the best way to deal with his former [ish] players at their home ground.

That made my day Cheesy

Can be a little offtopic but when is the date of the sentence for the Manchester City BAN from UEFA?

I'm pretty sure it was around 06/06/2020 but I heard nothing about it, does someone know exactly what is going on?

I do not really care about the losses they are getting right now because these are friendlies and they are for getting ready for the games and getting back into shape. Right now they are not playing with their fullest I am sure, these are the first games they had for the first time in a while and that made a big difference too.

Some other leagues didn't had this chance, they came back without any friendlies at all and the first game they have played was the league game that they came back to, so it was actually quite difficult for them to play on an official match right back after 3 months of not playing. These teams are lucky to have these friendlies, I would have assumed it wouldn't be allowed to reduce the risks involved with the games but I guess it is allowed.

It’s been a long time gents but Wednesday is the day football returns in England, I can’t wait. The first match is Aston Villa vs Sheff Utd & also on Wednesday Man City vs Arsenal. We’ve waited & long time but finally the action returns, I’m excited.

Games are mostly on Sky & BT Sport (I think one of the Sky View Channels is free). Some games are on terrestrial BBC & some on Amazon but the majority are Bt Sport & Sky.
Besides SKY, if I'm not mistaken there are other broadcasters who also broadcast the match for free is PickTV. it's just not clear enough whether this channel also broadcasts big matches for free or only regular matches. surprisingly enough for me, BBC joined to become EPL's official broadcaster

It says in the story Tottenham also lost a friendly to a bottom side.

I'm excited for the start. Looks there like there will be games on sky (advertising around the story), I wonder what package will be needed. Cos I thought it was going to be on terrestrial TV to stop people congregating?

In which part of the shirts btw? Isnt this going to overlap with their sponsor's logo. Some shirt might have specific size for their own logo that might overlap or perhaps make the main sponsor's logo on their shirt looks weird (?)


The right decision at the right time or they shouldn't have made such a decision?
I think they are sending a very good message and I'm personally glad about that.


They are definitely trying to send some good message among their viewers and fans however on the other side, I do see that this is a great marketing technique. By making this decision, they are probably trying to get some sympathy from US viewers . Sending good message across the world through football and on the same time trying to get more sympathy from viewers, top rate marketing indeed  Wink

I mostly agree with you and the real question is whether these decisions are good for football or not.
Should sports clubs and associations concentrate only on sport, or as in America publicly express their opinion, like kneeling when the American national anthem is performed?
Given the close and good political ties between America and Britain, it is a little strange to me that the Football Association of England has decided to take this step.
