I'm of the opinion that a lesson on English grammar in this setting would be the epitome of a pointless exercise in futility.

No thanks.
Don't want another ageing Brazillian footballer looking for a last big payday.
He'll be 30 next year.

In the situation of having sold Joe Willock for £30-35M, having a purchase price of approximately £20M with similarly appropriate salary, then yes, at that juncture I would see bringing in Coutinho as a progressive move to significantly upgrade our midfield and squad overall.

Philippe Coutinho remains a playmaking option that Arsenal are willing to consider, reports Express Sport.

Nabil Fekir, James Maddison and Houssem Aouar are also in the Gunners' thoughts as they seek to add more creativity to their ranks.

Only if he takes paycut and comes for free. Barca are trying to whore him out everywhere and no one is biting. They should just terminate his contract and be done with it

Has-been player would be a perfect fit for a has-been club such as ourselves.

We need to steer clear. The new Willian if it happens. Which is why it will. Edu can't help himself.

Brazil midfielder Philippe Coutinho has been linked with a return to Liverpool from Barcelona, the club he left Merseyside to join for £142m in January 2018. Everton, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Leicester City have all been recently linked with the 29-year-old. (Liverpool Echo)
