I suspect Messi has his off days, MLT was dire at times. To me as soon as Coutinho comes on Liverpool come alive and his bright brain creates chances, as well as his wonderful goals. I don't know why I'm justifying him, as Barcelona offering 80m should tell you enough. Liverpool will lose their stand out player and also it shows the fans our hurt as well

Ok, but the 3rd richest owner was stated on the national media. If she is worth 300m whilst a lot of money, she really does need to sell if the club is to progress. http://www.wealthx.com/articles/2015/katharina-liebherr/ http://www.therichest.com/sports/soccer-sports/top-10-richest-english-premier-league-owners/ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/sport-obituaries/7950756/Markus-Liebherr.html

The boat is on strike

that's an odd thing to say, unlike you Hutch. When you sign a player you don't know who is likely to be tapped up. Shane Long in the last part of RK's reign looked a world beater

well some are saying on here that she is worth 300m, I thought last season it was stated she was 3rd?? wealthiest owner

yes but is that not a similar stuation to our own.The article headline states that terms have been agreed. These things would upset the player and squad potentially like ourselves

reading the comments is funny. Nobody has mentioned to them that once Coutinho leaves their team has lost its talisman

I think you will find it was a tongue in cheek comment

I would have thought the moment any other club put an offer on the table it allows Liverpool to then make an approach. Whether the club could keep his gent quiet, but perhaps the club may do a deal with another behind closed doors. It is amazing how the fanbase quickly have decided that it is OK to sell VVD now, just a little murmur and the whole attitude changed . It serves the club quite well as they can now sell and look the innocent party, even though it would potentially mean that they have reneged on their pledge

that's not what DT was saying, it was a fact that we seem to aim low. It is hard to keep watchingus dvelop players for other clubs to get the benefit.

what about Leicester? I always in the past thought that we were on par or even bigger than Leicester but whilst they have yo-yo'd they have won far more than us in the last 20odd years. We could/should have done far more with the resources and players we had, let alone the finance backing us. We are content in being 7th -16th in the PL and feel that is some kind of medal. Then we get to a cup final and we sack the manager who got there. It really is a nonsense situation. Go into the league to win not just to be a bit part player. Our moment is gone now as the weakened top 6 have got their act together and oir window of opportunity has been lost as we wanted money in rather than actually go for it

tell how the increase in value actually helps you, a decrease in your S?T price, a share of the profits or just some reflected glory telling fans of Leicester etc that we brought those players through that now are winning things at other clubs?

So Chelsea don't want him as VvD said Liverpool was the only club he wanted to join. Hopefully another takes him on,or VVD does realise he has to put his head down here Yet another summer like last where we sleepwalk to a potential crisis. The spine of the team is probably the weakest for at least 3 seasons. We have sold a forward and replaced him with a youngster,that may turn out brilliant but it is concerning. the midfield have no goals in it and if Romeu got injured where is our ball winner?

I believe that our goalkeeping coach is the reason that we have had a string of nervous and poor goalkeepers.

Perhaps we can only buy if we sell first

Watching the Liverpool game and they mentioned Coutinho and how Barcelona want him and Newbon? said Liverpool had refused offe rand Coutinho has to get on with it as they werehis employers, then 20minutes later he mentioned VVD and put a different slant on that situation. The media just don't care

On a Liverpool site 'Southampton know the only reason for the improved contract was because it gave them extra leverage when it came to his transfer. Both parties agreed this. Same with us and Phil and Luis when he stayed the extra year. To think otherwise is folly. They are the ones reneging on the deal struck with VVD. Southampton want to sell but not to us. They wanted an auction but up to now they haven't got one and for that, wrongly, they blame Liverpool and are playing hardball to appease some of their gob****e fans who see us coming and shafting their club every season. They would rather sell to Everton than us. This deal is going to happen because VVD wants it to happen, simple as. Southampton are going to get top dollar but will make us sweat for a while'

Saints tell the fans he will not be sold Fans very happy Liverpool show interest , club says no Fans happy VVD say he wants to go Fans unhappy Liverpool the destination Fans unhappy Club sell him to different club Fans happy Club /board very happy???

Amazing how just this one bit of info has turned the fans into 'get rid' His action has no doubt cost us 10m+ in transfer revenue. I believe we should let him rot for a couple of months, otherwise it sets a bar again and again for a player wanting to leave. Had he been in the Jrod situation where he was injured for over a year he would not be saying he wanted to play for Liverpool he would just be happy to take his wages. Add to that the fans of club having to stand the Liverpool fans crowing. Personally this also effects the long term young fanbase as they will get turned off supporting us and may just think may as well support the Scoucers. I myself feel a little less a Saints fan everytime we lose a star to them

there is one extra thing to put into the mix, we assume he will be the same player after his injury

or perhaps he is better than some think. RK obviously thinks hes a decent player Didn't we turn down the chance of selling him to Everton a while back?

its all part of an illusion. It is not what the box spews out it is the ability of the people looking at the info that makes the difference

But was a Virgin Isles company

when NC was at the club I thought we had loans at a Virgin Island holding co? Would it not be too far fetched that this company belonged to the owner and the loans got a fantastic rate of interest applied to them. Thus reducing the clubs profits but also giving the owner a great return. Billionaires, I doubt take massive loans out on their assets and pay 3rd parties big interest repayments. All conjecture of course but these people have the best tax advisors there are and know how to get the best returns and also tax advantage
