However, Coutinho of Inter tip us so much, even if faced with a genuinely important hardly shut up the doors. http://www.football-italia.net/29122/premier-league-clubs-court-coutinho Premier League clubs court Coutinho By Football Italia staff Inter talent Philippe Coutinho is said to be attracting several January offers from the Premier League, including Aston Villa and Southampton. The 20-year-old Brazilian spent some of last season on loan in Spain with Espanyol, but has again failed to break into the Nerazzurri first XI. According to the Corriere dello Sport, Coutinho could be off on his travels again and this time towards England. Aston Villa are in dire straits at the moment and need a creative figure to reinforce the ranks. Southampton are also said to be showing an interest in Coutinho after their negotiations for Cagliari defender Davide Astori. Edited 6 January, 2013 by itchen_dan
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 are you joking? Personally i think we have no chance. He's one of the best players out there. because we have spent £20m on attackers already...half of that sit on the bench most weeks what we need is top quality defenders.... where would this lad play..? who would he replace..?
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 He wouldn't ever join us, one of the best young players in world football. Staggered that this could even be possible.
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 because we have spent £20m on attackers already...half of that sit on the bench most weeks what we need is top quality defenders.... where would this lad play..? who would he replace..? Yep, we have De Ridder and Tadanari Lee why would we want this guy...
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Yep, we have De Ridder and Tadanari Lee why would we want this guy... so, what are you saying....£25m worth of attackers on the bench sounds all QPR to me
itchen_dan Posted 6 January, 2013 Author Posted 6 January, 2013 He wouldn't ever join us, one of the best young players in world football. Staggered that this could even be possible. We same the same about Ramirez if I remember correctly...
The Kraken Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 so, what are you saying....£25m worth of attackers on the bench sounds all QPR to me As of Saturday we didn't even have £2.5M worth of defenders on the bench.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 because we have spent £20m on attackers already...half of that sit on the bench most weeks what we need is top quality defenders.... where would this lad play..? who would he replace..? Defenders are priority, absolutely. But we also need more creative flair in the final third and on the flanks. The fact that SDR is getting game time says it all, he should be nowhere near a PL squad. On a 6 month loan, this guy could and would be the dogs ********.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 As of Saturday we didn't even have £2.5M worth of defenders on the bench. indeed...that was with a mixy-match team....I wonder if that will be the case this sat I will be staggered if we sign another player in the ramirez ilk... may as well give up....we are pretty open with lallana and ramirez in the team..let alone this guy.. anyway..wont happen I dont think
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 We same the same about Ramirez if I remember correctly... This guy is even better than Gaston. I saw him on TV last year taking hte **** @ Real Madrid, and Barceolna. I can see a loan being possible, but I can't in anyway see how we could at this moment in time - A) afford a permanent deal for this guy, and B)...attract a world star, which is what he will be, to a relegation threatened club on a permanent basis. Maybe it'll be a negotiated 6 month loan with a view to a contract if we stay up..

shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 so, what are you saying....£25m worth of attackers on the bench sounds all QPR to me You don't half talk some ****!! He'd clearly be starting. Where do you get £25m worth of attackers on the bench from? Puncheon worth £20m now?
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Where does he play? Or, more to the point, where would he play for us? he is a "forward"....very much plays off the striker...or in the "hole"......a young flair player very much like ramirez...although, ramirez 'can' play wide more than this fella
Crab Lungs Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Looks like a mini Fellaini, plays like Eden Hazard... what's not to like!? I love being linked to these players, long gone are the Dany N'Guessan days, imagine him, Ramirez and Lallana :-o
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 You don't half talk some ****!! He'd clearly be starting. Where do you get £25m worth of attackers on the bench from? Luncheon worth £20m now? starting where.....?
Saint Garrett Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Can't see this happening, the boy is pretty much world class, I'm surprised he's not playing for Inter TBH.
Nexstar Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Anyone saying they wouldn't want him at our club is just idiotic, but obviously defenders are the main priority this window.
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 starting where.....? In place of Puncheon or the injured Lallana
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Where does he play? Or, more to the point, where would he play for us? Espanyol played him on the wings most of the time, he can play either side or in the number 10 role which he's also pretty good at - but seems to be adapting to become a winger more than anything else. He would be a massive upgrade on anything else we have in the attack at the moment. As good as Jason has been this year, this guy would replace him.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 In place of Puncheon or the injured Lallana you do realise that is not his position....he is a flair play that plays off a front man.....bit like gaston and offers little in the defensive department he is class though
Suhari Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Wow. Surely not? Love that we're linked with these type of players, but really can't see it.
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Anyone saying they wouldn't want him at our club is just idiotic, but obviously defenders are the main priority this window. This. Astori, another CB and this guy would be one hell of a window!!

This. Astori, another CB and this guy would be one hell of a window!! I would like another DM too, Cork/Morgan in there together is good but if one can't play or is moved to a different position to cover an injury we will struggle to control the middle of the park against most sides.

Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Espanyol played him on the wings most of the time, he can play either side or in the number 10 role which he's also pretty good at - but seems to be adapting to become a winger more than anything else. just think after the time he takes to settle...we will lose the defensiveness we have buit wide (after getting mullered at the start of the season)...his flashes of brilliance whilst he adapts would be a huge negative on the team
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 you do realise that is not his position....he is a flair play that plays off a front man.....bit like gaston and offers little in the defensive department he is class though Espanyol played him on the wing. Didn't your Espanyol supporting mate tell you that?
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 just think after the time he takes to settle...we will lose the defensiveness we have buit wide (after getting mullered at the start of the season)...his flashes of brilliance whilst he adapts would be a huge negative on the team Welcome back to 6-5 score lines.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Espanyol played him on the wing. Didn't your Espanyol supporting mate tell you that? he played over half a dozen times for espanyol..not all were wide...... his favoured position is in the hole..... if we stuck ramirez out on the wing every game that side of the pitch would get destroyed in the premier league....hence why we dont
SuperMikey Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 The guy is class, getting him on loan until the summer would be a fantastic coup.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 more recent footage of his spell at Espynaol. Likes to cut inside and join in the box, which is nailed on what we want in players.
SaintNeil90 Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Don't know why people don't think this could happen. He has been playing at Espanyol who are 17th in La Liga and he is nowhere near the Inter first team.
the stain Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I've never heard of him, but if thedelldays says he'd be a waste of money then I agree.
The Kraken Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Espanyol played him on the wings most of the time, he can play either side or in the number 10 role which he's also pretty good at - but seems to be adapting to become a winger more than anything else. He would be a massive upgrade on anything else we have in the attack at the moment. As good as Jason has been this year, this guy would replace him. Cheers, so a Puncheon replacement (something it's looking likely we'll need by the end of the season at best as there's no new deal for Punch yet). We went in for Matt Phillips in summer so perhaps not a surprise we're still in the market for that type of position. Can't fault the quality of the player, of course. Other areas of the pitch are a priority, I'd say, but if we can do them all then great.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I've never heard of him, but if thedelldays says he'd be a waste of money then I agree. where did I say he was a waste of money...why did you make that up I think it would be a wrong move for us....... but carry on though
Mr Saints Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Just a thought but it may be possible we are looking at attacking players AND defensive players at the same time.
VectisSaint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 The guy is class, getting him on loan until the summer would be a fantastic coup. Which may be what is happening if Lallana is out for longer than was thought.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Just a thought but it may be possible we are looking at attacking players AND defensive players at the same time. Don't be silly, we can only scout and negotiate for 1 player at a time.
SaintNeil90 Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Just a thought but it may be possible we are looking at attacking players AND defensive players at the same time. Thats not possible.
S-Clarke Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 where did I say he was a waste of money...why did you make that up I think it would be a wrong move for us....... but carry on though On a loan, I don't think there's much wrong with this one.
Thedelldays Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 On a loan, I don't think there's much wrong with this one. that I would agree with...a loan
Chewy Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 that I would agree with...a loan Why? I thought you said earlier he'd take too long to settle in, making us far too open, leading to relegation, plague, death and the end of the world. Surely loaning a player we don't have time to bed in would be almost as much of a waste of time as 99% of your posts?

Surely loaning a player we don't have time to bed in would be almost as much of a waste of time as 99% of your posts? because it would involve little money spent....compared to gambling £12m on him
shirleysfc Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 that I would agree with...a loan Phew, I'll let Nigel know.
Chewy Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 just think after the time he takes to settle...we will lose the defensiveness we have buit wide (after getting mullered at the start of the season)...his flashes of brilliance whilst he adapts would be a huge negative on the team But this is what you actually wrote, before deciding you wanted to loan him. Why do you want to loan a huge negative on the team?
cellone Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 Some one not getting enough attention at work/home?
for_heaven's_Saint Posted 6 January, 2013 Posted 6 January, 2013 I'd find it strange if Aston 'youngest team in the league desperately need experience' Villa are in for him.
