Have always thought he was horrendously overrated. Don't particularly care for his body language or demeanor either, which don't exude positivity. Not enthused tbh.

Had an outstanding season at Liverpool but an indifferent one at Barcelona. IF ? he comes then maybe back in the PL could bring back his old form. Very much like Eriksen in my opinion some great assists and some spectacular goals. Trouble is I'm not a great lover of loan deals in. They get settled in and when they leave at the end of the season it disrupts the side and you're back to square one.

I assume that it would be a loan deal with an option to buy, seeing as Barca want to recoup the money they'll have no interest in keeping him particularly if they want Neymar

I think we're only looking at this as a relitively cheap fix in case Eriksen goes after the EPL window shuts.

Always thought he was about the same as Eriksen, both really really good at their best, but both just coming up short in the 'single handedly changing games' department to be absolute greats. So if he's a potential replacement for Eriksen then clearly a decent alternative.....

However i've felt for some time that we might just be looking to get away from an Eriksen/Coutinho type in our XI,instead looking for more dynamism,which i think would improve us. So on that basis i'd rather us get other targets (Dybala/GLC) ahead of him and us tweak our style accordingly.

Got a feeling he 'Coutinho' will end up at the Emirates.
Spurs have not confirmed anything in the last week regarding all these SKY 'made up' fairytales.
