"shocking the way we have conducted our selfs over this buisness .the poor kid must feel as wanted as the flu.were starting to get a very bad world wide reputation with this fsg nonsence its not worked for there bb team what on gods green planet make them think it will work in football"
"Whats going on with or transfer policy??????
There is ZAHA confirmed to join the manure today
and we are still blowing hot air about possible transfers!!!!!some needs to get there finger out!!!!!"
"To all LFC supporters, please welcome this young lad in with open arms. No more talk about Sneijder, he wasn't fit for LFC anyways. Coutinho didn't make it evident he wanted to be at Liverpool because he didn't want to seem disloyal to his club. He can really be the next kaka with even better pace so lets get him and make him our new star! He's all that stands in our way from 4th place!"
"liverpool could miss out on this very very good talent who could set the prem alight to Southhampton i dont no where we will end up
Teams like Southhampton will soon be overtaking us if this carries on over the coming years
Sign him and stop thinking about your wallets at the end of the year "

"Is this the time to play hardball? If we have identified a gap in our squad, and have also identified the right player? Then why haggle over £2m? It would seem we have no other options at the moment, taking into consideration our financial situation..."
"...so why miss out a player that, not only is he already showing signs of his promise; but ticks all the boxes that we have agreed will guide all future purchases? So, we won't pay more for Ince, now this lad, we will not buy anyone at this rate."
"I appreciate FSG's apparent unwillingness to overspend, and that is a welcome development, but we can't let the policy be counter-productive. This kid has skills. Serious skills. He's not your average 20-year old. Pay the balance, FSG. Werner promised us things, didn't he?"
"thekingmaker27 and nigeriankop both make points that I tend to agree with. I'm not yet passing judgement on LFC - it's far too early for that - but I will be disappointed if we lose out on Coutinho because of 2m (which, for LFC, isn't a king's ransom)."
"this is the second player the saints are taking away from us. pls what is the problem with FSG group on transfers. they should go and sign tom ince and coutinho and allow reina to go jones is better now in goal.
"
"Good to see we are not just paying whatever the price clubs are demanding. If the likes of Southampton want to pay over the odds, well let them....it doesn't mean we are being outdone by them."
"I though the FSG transfer policy of not overpaying was an all-round good thing. But in some cirstances, it's going to make LFC look like complete mugs. Why would Inter let this guy go for £8million if Southampton have bid £10million? Pay up and get the player in as early as possible. Your baseball analogies can go were the sun doesn't shine. "
"FSG what is all this...Clearly if he goes its because you are using Arsenal anticts and whoever told you they have more funs than us they are lying..And as value to us watching lfc games does FSG think we get quality for what we are getting so far."
"Those working in the deal are a bunch of clowns, guys just ignore it, if they sign him, fine, it is taking too much time, we need players to come in as soon as possible to gel with the lads, and they are there playing hide and seek. We dont want inept people working in that department at all."
"Smells like the Dempsey deal all over. The only difference is that I was happy that we did not get Dempsey as he is an average player at best. Coutinho is a world class player in the making so hopefully this swings our way. This deal needs to happen before the Arsenal game which is a must win for us or top 4 is out the window. "
"Don't get your panties in a wad over this guy. Of course he would prefer LFC over Soton, who wouldn't? Great potential yes, but we have plenty of that already in Reserves and Academy. He also has a few weaknesses...contd.... "
"his gone !! slipped through yet again. im over our transfer saga crap , it seems to be the same "dragging it out" scenario every time . Look at manure, they wanted Zaha they paid up and GOT Zaha ...simple . "
"One more week to go and BR z he wanted any deals done early on so i am thinking that our buisiness is done.
Not going to waste any more time on this speculative nonsense.Any how i think we are good enough for top 4 as it sits;-)"
"...Check out en.soccerwiki.org/player.php?pid=39823
They list his weaknesses and strengths. Weaknesses= tackling (greatest) and work rate are two of them-Attributes absolutely necessary to wear the Red shirt. He can improve with time, but as stated before, we have plenty of players that are just as good or better."
"here we go again - i knew this would happen, all the fan nying around its a joke
Just PAY FOR HIM what he is worth - he is gonna be worth £30 M this time next season!! "
"Yes u have to admire the manures tranfer system(even though i love to hate that lot)they go put the money on the table and within 5mins the deal is sealed,"
"How is it that smaller clubs like QPR and Southampton can outbid and buy players that LFC need and want but end up not getting.There is definitely something wrong with the owners and the transfer policy .Are they really broke thats why there is no money for players."

"I fear we lose him.
We have sell Sahin,Cole and Wilson but only one come in.
Ayer and FSG : 1 Million more and we get him.
But i believe its the same like Dempsey last year.
Its like "Dinner for one"
The same procedure as every year,"
"he is apparently not ligible to get a work permit anyway.not enough interantional games, nor even as a proffesional footballer.Enough about this already, its time to look elsewhere"
"Why should the club offer more than they he's worth? Do some you think we should go broke trying to sign players? Why don't you give all your money to the club to help then? Go on... empty your bank accounts to help the club sign players. No? Though not... Now F**K OFF!"
"He'll be great for the team and many supporters would love him to come to Anfield, cmon Fsg get him before the window closes before it becomes another disappointing window like last August."
"... for me it's right to not overpay the tags of the players, but when it's all about a couple of millions more or less, there should not be a problem in that regard, get up the bid for how much is needed and get the player! It's as simple as that!"
"apparantly we have a recrutement group did not no that.and ney i do empty my account every weekend to watch my team with my kids traveling from s wales "
"We have offloaded a lot of players therefore not paying thier wages anymore, why cant you stop playing hardball and use that money to put £1.5m more into the asking price, do not lose out to a small club yet again, he'll be worth 3 times what he's worth now after a couple of seasons with us, he's what we need, put us fans out of our misery! Come on FSG pull your finger out man!! "
"I see Ngoo has now gone out on loan today. By my reckoning this window we have weakened the side by 5 players and strengthened it by 1 player. BR complained a few months ago we were short on numbers so why is this happening. 6 days and counting, lets start seeing some deals completed "
"I hope all you whiners don't consider yourselves men. Over spending has been the slow death of this club for sometime now. Finally someone is willing to do something about it and you all want to cry a river. For god sake man, grow a sack"
"Hmm... It wouldn't be a bidding war if they just matched saints offer, cos it's been accepted. So to miss out on a target after all this bother for the sake of what is peanuts, in football money, seems foolhardy to me. Might not be the case of course, just seems to be dragging on and on this story."
"I don't know why ee are so stingy with the money! Coutinho ticks all the boxes the type of player fsg want but they won't increase our offer to match or to better Southampton's offer! This is not plain stingy but rather plain stupid because we are about to lose a future star once again! YNWA!"
"BRadmirer!!!YES LETS JUST BUY NO MORE PLAYERS TO STRENGTHEN OUR SQUAD AND WE WILL GET REEGATED AND AND UP AS NO BODYS!!!IF THATS WHAT YOU WANT GO AND SUPPORT LEEDS OR RANGERS!!!!"
"Overspending been the death of this club?
its the opposite!
had we spent more when things were not working out, we wouldn't be in this position!
sometimes the only option is to buy yourself out of trouble!
The meek don't inherit the earth."
"If we lose this lad to Spurs or even Southampton, i'll feel very let down by the club, looks very like the Dempsey situation all over again for me, just pay the extra cash and buy him "
"Why are we stalling as usual anyway if these players don't want to come to anfield one of the greatest stadiums in the world they are not worthy of wearing the LFC shirt other teams are always trying to gazump us in the transfer market off YNWA"
"I thought the glazers were milking mufc dry then how come they pay the money for transfers no messing about we just sit around picking our noses until another club steps in and we end up with egg on our faces"
"So 1st lets maintain a consistent team we have changed the 1st 11.So keep the current back 4 the goal keepers.In mid we luck experience in that except for the Captain we need to put in an experience exceptional player who have played for 5yrs plus in CL.as 4 the strikers we need to add experience a gem like we had with belamy..FSG add experience please"
"Countinho is a smart young lad...why the hell we would join Southampton is there's a way bigger club is wanting him...and offer him a way brighter chance to shine..."
"Am sure if we add Experience it will guide and bring hanger in the team e.g Defoe at Totenham Scholes at Manure they push the teams in those hard games.So If we want top 4 we need those exceptional Expireinced players.Kaka Coutinoh on loan and Even Ane;lka for 1 year season loan just to show our yesils on what to do and to move in the pitch"
"Coutinho will add 2yrs experience in the CL and a stint in Laliga and Seria A which is very tactical.So FSG add this young player stop wasting time.Lets fnish up with this and get Vanwistel from sporting Lisbon"
