Joensuu Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 Yep and that was lies too. A paper read by right wing scumbags. the Adkins job thing Was part of national media wind up, remember? No reason to think this is any different. Nice trolling as ever Turks. Please try to remember, the Mail is only a dubious source when they have an axe to grind. Hence, don't trust them on politics, but generally they are okay at reporting sports. Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 According to the BBC, the scousers have upped their interest in coutinho, presumably with a raised bid. I still think this could go our way because of the espanyol link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still think this could go our way because of the espanyol link. Think it will ultimately depend on the player - wages, sign on... and whether he feels its a good step... think we have the money to compete with teh fee, but far from the kudos of playing for the scousers -.... yet ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norwaysaint Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 I'd quite like a defender It might happen, but this season we have brought in Clyne, Maya, Forren and made Shaw first choice. That's an entire new back four. I doubt it's seen as an urgent area for recruitment, unless the three new signings, which most seem to believe were made by Cortese/Reed, are seen as not good enough, or were brought in to be second choice. I'd be happy for an even better option, but which "Cortese signing" would either he or Pocchetino be replacing already? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 It will be interesting to see who else we do sign, if not this lad. Presumably Pochettino was brought in at this moment to give him some leeway during the January transfer window, and judging by the espanyol links with Coutinho, he was a prime target. Still think it might happen, liverpool aren't necessarily as attractive a proposition as they think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallagroth Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 I have no idea what to believe on this one. Some sources claim we have had a bid accepted and Liverpool haven't, others claim he's doing personal terms. Seems like it's all bull**** and my feeling is that if anything is being made up it's by Liverpool and their media agents to pressure the nipper into a deal. There's a lot of public media supporters of Liverpool who could get their noses point out of joint by this. Besides releasing crap is not the way we do business... that's the remit of dinosaur clubs like Liverpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dig Dig Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 Tbf Ramirez was continually and criminally played out of position, which didnt really help anyone. It's not his best position but criminal? Asking a left footed midfielder to do a job in a position he's played in plenty of times before isn't really criminal IMO. We asked him to play a few yards to the left of where he usually plays, he should still be able to make an impact. It's not as if he was asked to play left back.

Matthew Le God Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 Even if we don't end up getting him, if the £10.2m bid from Saints is true, it shows a) we have big money to spend this window and b) we are looking for players in his position and of his quality.

Jimmy_D Posted 24 January, 2013 Share Posted 24 January, 2013 Depends. IF we've actually submitted a bid, and Liverpool aren't going to match it, hoping he'll turn us down and force a sale to them, I reckon they'll get a nasty shock because I reckon Tino will be able to convince him to come here, if we're the only accepted bid on the table.
