That’ll Cou nicely

A LOT of Liverpool fans wanted to drive Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona for £60million in the summer so £142m represents a great deal.

With Mo Salah, Sadio Mane and Co, my old team have the personnel to cope with losing the Brazilian. Indeed, with a couple of additions it could turn out to be a fantastic transfer window for them.

Dutch international defender Virgil van Dijk is already through the door and if they can bring forward the Naby Keita deal and sign Leicester playmaker Riyad Mahrez — who I’d rather see at Anfield than Thomas Lemar — then it would be a job very, very well done.
