We know he's now on strike just like he did in the summer. Whatever so-called injury he has now, is to force our hand and we should never bow to it. We have ample cover in the short term so let him and Barcelona twitch for the rest of the window and the media speculate. It is a ridiculous time to seek a replacement where prices will be inflated. We hold ALL the power if we don't want to sell we don't have to and Phil will want to make it into Brazil's World Cup squad. Just like last time he'll get over his feigned injury and the potential for us that his price will be elevated even more if he has a good World Cup! Tell Barcelona to do one unless they want to beat the World Record Transfer fee, then we may talk!

What is disturbing is that a player like Keita is not on strike to join earlier despite having his club out of CL but we might have Coutinho who is forcing so hard to move. His career was in shyte before he came to us.

Klopp & FSG must realize that if they sell Coutinho now Top 4 and a CL place next season is in serious jeopardy along with any further progress in this seasons CL. It is also going to potentially affect what players will want to come to us in the summer! I hope somebody at the club has had their calculator out and looked at the worse case scenario, financially? We sell Coutinho for 130m now and we may not get anybody else in and wait for the summer when there is no CL next season to attract the Top players. Then the players we do have a shot at Tadic or Lanzini will be 50, 60 or 70m because their clubs know we have the Coutinho money!
We'd be cutting off our nose to spite our face selling now...it makes NO sense whatsoever for an ambitious club "IF" that is what FSG want us to be?

I don't care if he sulks all Jan, he'll buck up after if he wants to move. Make it clear to him that he can get what he wants in the summer, but not before.

I think FSG must put out a statement and say he's not being sold in this January transfer window. Put to bed all this negative speculation, we really do not want this to ruin current momentum. Tell Coutinho we will revisit our stance in the summer after The World Cup and not a moment sooner. Let him have his tantrum away from the 1st team, we have cover for the month. As soon as he realizes he is not going anywhere he'll be back playing for his place in Brazil's World Cup squad.

Phil hasn't traveled with the squad to Dubai.
Barca are rumoured to be announcing the deal tonight. Contracts all signed just waiting for the ok from Klopp. Nothing happens without his say so.
