Are you talking about goals only, or including the assists tally?
Coutinho's best goals tally was 14 goals in all competitions in 16/17. He won't be scoring more than 7-8 goals now, not when he looks like he's already past his best. If we do get him, I'm expecting 6-8 goals and 6-8 assists at max.
For an alleged midfield and creator, he's far behind Ozil, KdB, Cesc, Eriksen, etc., in chances created, key passes, and assists. Plus, he's a lazy player. People accuse Ozil of being lazy when Ozil is always up there in ground covered. Coutinho walks around like he's Messi, without having 1% of the influence.
