Immediate purple patch of good form which will drop off before it turns sour and he collects a massive weekly wage without playing. Totally different. James hadn't played in this country before, and has never had a prolonged period of form. He had one good world cup. Coutinho knows the league and working with Gerrard I think is perfect for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coutinho knows the league and working with Gerrard I think is perfect for him I actually really liked Coutinho at Liverpool, hope he kicks on, but if he was still anywhere near his prime now he'd be in that poor Barca side surely? To be fair I've also just seen Barca will also pay a good chunk of his wages on loan as well. Be an interesting one for sure.

Zear0 Posted 7 January 2022 Share Posted 7 January 2022 (edited) One of those transfers which suits all the parties. Atlético get a decent fee for an aging player, Trippier gets a nice pay rise and Newcastle get a really decent player (starting RB for the La Liga Champions). Everyone is happy, except the Sunderland fans who are never happy. Coutinho one will be interesting to see how he performs, I think he'll do well. I think even Barca paying the majority of wages helps them out as there's some accounting factor BS where if you reduce your wages by x you can spend 4x or something daft (https://www.espn.com/soccer/barcelona-espbarcelona/story/4562339/ferran-torres-has-joined-barcelonabut-how-and-are-the-spanish-giants-really-able-to-play-him).

I think he felt Newcastle wanted to postpone the game, which happened, and now when they play the game Newcastle will be with new signings.

Even if it's disclosed privately to the PL rather than in the public domain. A list of available and unavailable players due to reason X, would make this so much more transparent. And the signings is actually a decent idea, if they weren't registered by the original game, they shouldn't play the new.

Agreed on Trippier, works for everyone and think he's in the top bracket of player they can attract right now. What they really need is a decent centre defence and mid in general but decent centre backs are in short supply as we now ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised that playing in a Simeone side made him look better and won't be surprised that he looks pony under a shite manager like Eddie Howe.

Don't get me wrong, I think it's a good signing and exactly the sort they should make. They should avoid high profile prima donnas and build sensibly. But I also agree that the media reaction is ott.
