Anything over 5m for Coutinho is too much.
for a 20 year old Brazilian who has/did have fantastic potential you will never get for 5 million
round the 8ish mark would be more realistic imo
The more I think about it, the more i like the sound of Coutinho.. Very exciting player and reminds me of a player in the silva / mata / Cazorla mould, playing off the striker
There was a risk of Sneijder being Cole v2
Honestly I don't think he's worth that. His progress stalled, even though he had a decent spell on loan at Espanyol at the end of last season, he's not played much since. I'm not saying he's a bad player and at his age if he gets regular games and stays clear of injuries he can only get better, but 8-10m (I read an 8m had been knocked back but I can't recall if it was euros or pounds) seems a bit too much for me.
I'd have taken Sneijder any day of the week.
if inter i reading this then they are stupid as ****. please guys this kid is talented to the max. i honestly believe that his dribbling is on par, with the worlds best. he is a bit lightweight, in terms of you can easily shrug him of the ball, but if he works on his technique like silva e.g shield the ball then accelerate away he could be amazing. can play on the left to so he would give us the balance we need on the left, instead of glen johnson cutting in everytime when played left back. his south american so he will always be able to pick a pass. i would rather him than paul ince. who is just overrated IMO.
I may be mistaken but isn't Coutinho completely right footed? So what difference does it make whether it's him cutting in from the left or Johnson?
Yeah, Paul Ince is definitely past his best.
agreed at the grand old age of 20...
The name is Thomas Ince. Paul is his father.
my bad I really need to start reading posts properly. I am such a tard sometimes :'(
It's ok, we're forgiving here it's not the Chelsea thread.
i think he is both footed i.e not someone who will shift the ball on thier right foot and shoot from there, he is perfectaly capable of shooting with his left. lool meant to say tom ince.
Tim Vickery, gave his view on Couthino:
“Struggled for first team chances, he was little bit overhyped on the way up, not physically strong, lacked a left foot… Reputations can be built up too soon. He’s been treading water for a couple of years. There is some talent though…”
