"If his wages are less than £100 a week i think FSG will try to negotiate a deal anything over £100 and we will be doomed ;):)
Liverpool's hopes of signing Inter Milan's Wesley Sneijder were dashed last night after the attacking midfielder agreed to move to Galatasaray for £6.3million <----typical FSG"
"He would be a good additionto the squad,young ,bags of talent and can play anywhere in the midfield .Will create for the likes of suarez and sturridge and borini,however LFC should still look at bringing in another attacking player like muniain."
"very sad reading this. so we are actully gonna spend 12m on coutinho who cant even stand in seria A, and expecting him to "play" in the PL? could hv got snejider for 7m. plz just up the bid for Ince. Ince is gonna be way better than coutinho in the PL"
"I was excited to read this. He's brilliant from the (admittedly) little I've seen of him. The young transfer policy is the correct way to go as long as it is balanced by the occasional bit of experience. What's exciting is that in 3 years time, Liverpool should have an exceptionally gifted side, all being well. But the youngsters need older heads to learn from. I'm hoping for Alonso in the summer."
"eyaqueen, what a silly comment. There have been many examples of players making moves and flourishing. And to be fair, inter sending him on loan to Espanyol as a 19 yr old is equivalent to us sending shelvey to blackpool last season. I saw him against Spurs in the CL and remember thinking that he was a real top talent."
"Great comments from Ron and Joey,,as we seen at the weekend and the second half v Man Ure, we are not far away from a very exciting time fot the club,Coutinho and 2 others will do but we must hold on to Pepe and Luis <<<< YNWA "
"i dont understand if he is that good why he is not in the inter team??????????? again we paid for joe allen but coudnt pay for wesley what a nonsense "
"Philippe Coutinho is a promising young upcoming talent and at 10 million it is a good purchase for a 20 year old,I will defently be excited to see him in a red shirt also I realy want us to bring Andy Carroll back from his loan spell,he still has so much more to offer us guys with him being still young and paying 35 million for him im still confident only Brendan can bring the best out of him."
"try reading the story it says 5m not 12m it was 12m for sturridge lol coutinho will be a great addition than an ageing sneider onwards and upwards keep going lads,were getting there."
"Coutinho and Ince would go pretty well, but we need first class to make the last step and come back to compete for the top honours, Snejder has gone, but Strootman and Mertens would be the top class we need to improve our ranks, the midfield in particular."
"so happy to not sign Sneider, It would cripple the wage structure of the club, it would have meant, all our top players wanting the same or leaving, well done FSG and BR, but I believe Ayre should have been able to sell the brand of the club to him to want to come at our wages...?"
"Hope Coutinho comes to Anfield and so Tom Ince because his heart is set for a return to LFC that proves his departure in summer 2011 was not his fault."
"Benwithhope4champ, its idiots like you who invent price tags for players that start stupid rmors, the price for Coutinho is £8m not the £12m youre banding around.. moron.."
"People said that Suarez wouldn't adapt. No1 wanted to take a risk. Weren't much of a risk if you ask me? This boy has got it I have watched him many times always impresses. better than Oscar!"
"Play who think andy Carroll should come back clearly don't watch liverpool or understand Brendan Rodgers philosophy, I know people say we need a plan b but u don't see Barcelona changing tacs when they get not last 20 minutes. They pass it a lot like us to tire the other teams so they can break through and score late on. Andy Carroll will not be seen in a liverpool shirt again"
"He's a FANTASTIC player, why would we want a player that only wants to come cause of money? If you people don't know countinho is really fantastic, He is good enough and I definitely can't wait to see him when he's fully developed, Not many (16) year olds get bought for 4 MILLION POUNDS, that shows how good he is."
"Wouzer LFC that's right, I don't see a return for Carroll any longer. I think it's more possible for Torres to return to the set up than for Carroll."
"JoeyRasdien spot on. I ll say A.Wenger too. He was signed from Grampus 8 Japan League. (Yes! Japan). We he came all the Arsenal fans were like dumbfounded.They couldnt accept him.. Look where is the club now. My point is give every one a level playing field.YNWA"
"so, yet another kid! does Sneijder really know what he wants? No to Galas, wage cut....yeah right? We still have a free No.9 and No.10 shirt - when will they be filled and by whom?"
"Same case as DS before arriving from Chelsea, and now what an impact he's made. This young Brazilian has loads of skill and vision, and like Lucas will be a king pin in midfield given the time. ... Get him BR."
"Sneijder is qulaity but we can't deviate from our principal of wage control. Even tho he said money is not the factor, obviously it is otherwise he never would have chosen the turkish league. We'll move on to better and dedicated players that fits our plan and finance. "
"He is with the 1st Brazilian team. I think that says it all. He will fit in just fine with Lucas, Suarez and Coates, our South American core. At 20, I think we hit the right note. Coutinho can't demand any wages since he has to show his talent on the field first."
"Talented players simply adjust their play to adapt the league they are in. Quickness always give defence problems. Just look at Suarez. I think Coutihno is a playmaker of our future. Get him and make sure the price is right."
"Big time proper player this - looks about 25 in his playing style: get onto his vision and speed of thought, never mind he uses both feet and drives defenders crazy. He and Luis will make us Prem winners next season and CL winners inside 3 years"
"EYAQUEEN haven't you learnt anything from us signing sturridge. players who dont get a chance at a club can turn out to be brilliant at a different one. just let brendan continue his rebuilding and watch us climb the table. YNWA"
"and with the emergence of form in regards to hendo and downing show Correct coaching by Br can make players better or give belief, and competition for places is paramount in this, Last season they were picked no matter how poor they played, this young lad will be a boost to all the youth players, improve or move...."
"very proud of Br and FSG, last year was poor in terms of Team management and player buys, this season has been a breathtaking difference, you can see the players love it here and improving game by game, recruiting gradually and withing the FSG model, BRILLIANT"
"i dont think this boy ready for pl challenge. signing a potential is good but we already have many of them. what we need is a instant impact player. dont be silly. if we dont finish top four, suarez might be gone. can u listen to what gerrard said.. liverpool need top class signing.. why br are so stubborn. and some of you just agree with all this thing.. sigh"
