Although surprised they've bigged up something that anyone can just go and do, and especially as they've played in lots of other big stadiums, I can't see how it's such a big thing for them, unless they get to meet the Barca team etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSAINT Posted 23 January, 2013 Share Posted 23 January, 2013 Mentioned earlier, but SSN report: Reports are emerging that a Liverpool delegation has flown to Italy in a bid to complete the transfer of midfielder Phillippe Coutinho from Inter Milan.

Saintsfan Posted 23 January, 2013 Share Posted 23 January, 2013 It'll be down to whether Liverpool up their bid or not now. Rumours are they've bid £8m, but we are willing to pay £10m Inter will say they don't want to sell, but they are cash strapped and secretly will be loving a bidding war and all this "It'd be funny if we beat Liverpool again". Let's be realistic here. Did they even bid for Gaston? and Forren would have joined them if they'd showed anymore interest other than a trial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trousers Posted 23 January, 2013 Share Posted 23 January, 2013 (edited) http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/southampton-have-offered-more-than-liverpool-for-coutinho-and-int Southampton have offered more than Liverpool for Coutinho and Inter want a sale quickly Coutinho to Liverpool almost seemed done a few days ago. The Liverpool Echo said Coutinho was 'set to become Liverpool FC's second January signing'. There is still the possibility of that happening but the proposed deal has hit several bumps in the transfer road. The first being that Inter Milan rejected their initial bid as The Guardian thought they probably would. The second bump was Coutinho telling the Italian press, covered by Calciomercato and others, that he didn't much fancy a move to Merseyside, something else which the club was thought to be able to overcome. The latest bump comes in the form of Southampton and their new manager Mauricio Pochettino. The Argentine had Coutinho on loan at Espanyol from last January until the end of last season. He did well but had to return to Inter Milan because the Barcelona club would have had little chance of getting near the transfer fee required for the player.Today's Gazzetta dello Sport says that Southampton have put a bid in for the player since Pochettino took over the club and that bid is stated as being €11m, which is €3m more than Liverpool had bid, according to the famous pink newspaper, but still €4m less than Inter Milan want for the midfielder. Inter Milan want €15m for Coutinho because they want to buy Paulinho from Corinthians, and the Brazilian club want €15m for him. Even though they've sold Wesley Sneijder they cannot finance the move without a sale and Gazzetta say that a compromise could be accepting €13m for Coutinho and then seeing if Corinthians will do the same for Paulinho. Sounds a bit complicated doesn't it, which probably means it will be sorted out by the end of the day in this mad world of transfers!
