@alex_crook: Sky reporting #lfc have agreed a fee for Coutinho. Am told #saintsfc were keen in the summer but no longer Which suggests Inter Milan, or reporters, are fabricating that we've made a bid during this window?

Half hour into Football Focus and the BBC haven't had a pop at us yet.

And there was me thinking it was going to be someone from the club slagging the club off....

Turkish needs to have a word with Sky.... they say he's a winger....

I guess so. I'm just thinking too much as usual

Thinking about it, given the Sun and Sky are from the same stable, I'm guessing it may be two interviews but with the same person....i.e. just Cortese

Football club in self publicity shocker....

Could this be a double bluff from DPS....?

Unless Cortese wants to scupper Liverpool's bid regardless? If Cortese gets the impression that Coutinho won't come here at the moment, regardless of what bid we put in, if I was him I'd put in a 'stupid' bid of say £20m - that might be enough for Milan to tell Liverpool to get stuffed even if Coutinho continues to refuse to come here. In other words, putting in a higher bid might just be a delaying tactic by Cortese to (a) stop the player going to another premier league team and (b) but us time to convince Courtinho to join us in the summer instead. On the other hand I could be thinking way too hard about this...
