Koulibaly to ManU, Coutinho gonna be sold, Griezmann to Barcelona or PSG as it was rumoured that they want him as well. Hazard to Madrid, interesting transfer window.
Actually I wouldn't mind Coutinho at United, playing at Barca was probably too stressful for him.

coutinho isnt gonna come to man utd unless he wants to be hated by the entirety of liverpool for the rest of his life. also i dont think hed be much of a good addition anyway
|
He's already hated anyway, don't think it could be much worse :D

It felt like Coutinho wasn't really enjoying living in England when he went to Barca, but then again that might be better option than sitting on bench half of the season and playing for a crowd that boos you whenever you're subbed into the game.
I guess the problem for his transfer is that Barca is likely still asking a price that only a handful teams can afford. Neymar was trying to lure Coutinho to PSG, but I'm not sure how that works with FFP and all that.

Chelsea played a friendly last night in the US with their first team and will apparently pay for it with the loss of Loftus Cheek until 2020 with a ruptured achilles tendon.

It is gonna be an interesting summer There are also rumors for Griezmann to go to Bayern, which then would sell Lewa and so on

at least if they get injured now then part of the recovery time is their own summer vacation rather than the start of the season.
but well it's clearly to build the brand.

I guess you could argue that it's to keep up match fitness for the EL final.

My guess it's referring to Nicolas Pépé from LOSC Lille.
Out of the other two mentioned, I've really liked Brandt on Leverkusen on the few games I've seen. He'd probably fit in quite nicely although I'm not sure if he's even too similar to the current toolset already available.
Neres has had a great season too, so I guess he can't be that bad either.
|
Pépé has the level to be a starter in a lot of big teams, he'd be wasted at Liverpool with Salah and Mané. Bayern would be perfect, I think they're on him too.

I really thought Leeds United would finally get back to the Premier League this year. Did happen again. So it's Villa or Derby. Derby didn't bring much to the league last time they were up. Villa are going to be another Newcastle if they come back. Massive under funded club just fighting for survival.
edit: I don't know much about the Coutinho buisness. I guess he just didn't fit in at Barca. I don't watch them enough to comment. He is still an amazing player. Not sure if he would go back to Liverpool or fit in with what they are doing now. Going to Yanited seems like a gamble. It's a mess at Old Trafford right now.

You say wasted so you dont believe pepe to be able to reach a higher level than those two?
BTW we have two of all time great managers van Gaal and Mourinho both saying: Achieving something (FA Cup van Gaal and 2nd place Mourinho) is their greatest feat in their managerial careeers. Doesnt this say what a huge mess Man Utd has become?

That seams cheap. Guess they have quite an amount of title winning bonus payments attached to it

I think he believes that Pepe should go to a to a quality team where he would be a guaranteed regular starter and have a greater chance of fulfilling said potential and or level. Going to Liverpool at this time would not afford him that.
Hence, a waste. Both for the player himself and as a general resource. How you managed to reach the that his statement was indicating in the slightest that he cant be better than Salah or Mane is rather baffling tbh.

Liverpool need another potential world class offensive player tho. As good as Mane Salah Firmino are, they make Liverpool's offense predictable and vulnerable to injuries. Shaqiri/Origi aren't cosistent enough to compete for the league title in the long run.

Good players prove himself in training and get chosen by good coaches (which Klopp is a good one). How should the chance be greater at one club or another? You are either a good player or you are not?
