The only fear I have regarding Coutinho is that now that managers know his game, they will be putting anti-Coutinho plans, how would he cope is the question. I understand what you are saying Vish, but at the same time, look at how that worked out for opposing manager when they employed anti-Suarez tactics. He scored more goals. When a player is talented, there is no stopping them in my opinion. Opposing managers, Fergie especially, did not know how to stop Luis Suarez from tearing his defence a new one, so he chose to battle him on the only battleground where he knew he would win-the media.

The beauty of Coutinho's game is that it's unpredictable- he could quite easily turn and run when you think he's going to pass and vice versa. That's what makes him such a good player now, and in all likelihood, a world-class player in the next few years.

What an incredibly ridiculous post, comparing Jelavic to Suarez...go try your antics on someone else CoolFlames...

Really? So Del Piero wasn't world class then? Or was Juventus still a world class team despite winning nothing for years...Totti? Nesta? Cavani? You cant tell me Napoli is a world class team, nor that Cavani is not a world class player...

Just one more thing was Michael Owen who I think was a very good player for us world class too.

benteke is not world class because he hasnt proven that he will perform like that at any club...Suarez has, he has performed for Ajax, Liverpool and Uruguay at the very highest of levels...Benteke has not.
