Prior to the reports of Barca going after Lemar I would have said that once we get Lemar, we will sell Coutinho to Barca. But with them pulling that move, I can see us holding onto Coutinho regardless.
I've said that since the first big on Lemar was reported. FSG isn't paying 70-80 mil for a squad player

In a vacuum, Coutinho of course. However with the bridges he's burned, I'd rather have a happy player that has a lot of promise than one that is pissed off and pouting. Plus of course its not a one for one swap. It'd be something like Lemar + 60 mil for Coutinho.
Why the fuck have we not signed a defender? It's going to be freaking Klavan as the first defensive option off the bench in the fucking Champions League? Seriously?
Who knows, they could go give him a medical tonight and keep negotiating and never disclose the fact if the deal doesn't come together.
Origi to Wolfsburg on loan is done. 6 mil seems like a pretty big loan fee, we bought him for 10 right?

If VVD goes through is everyone happy? Lemar would be icing on the cake, but I see no reason to pay 90M for him.
This is awesome. Apparently their stadium fits 400 fans and they average about 125 per game. Liverpool FC News @LivEchoLFC This deal come from nowhere Nantwich Town FC @TheDabbers BREAKING | Too late @FCBarcelona, we got there first! #WelcomePhil
Keep telling everyone its going to be a Lemar for Coutinho swap. Pay 90 mil to get 140 and swap a happy player for an angry one.
I keep seeing the news that Arsenal have agreed to terms with Monaco for Lemar for 92 mil. If we bought Ox and helped fund that we will definitely have played ourselves in the most Liverpool way possible. Ideal would be VVD and Lemar but if I had to choose one then give me VVD and be done. I would be pumped.
How dumb do you think FSG are? Like, do you really think they couldn't have figured out that Arsenal might use the money Liverpool gave them to try to sign a target they've been trying to sign all summer?
