    They really need to get over it. He clearly wants to move to an actual big club. You were only ever able to attract him away from us because of the money you have from your league's TV deal. He deserves a top, top team. Hope he gets it before the end of the window. So much better than Southampton.

    I get that this rallying cry is a popular one, but it just doesn't make sense. If the player is going to demand to leave anyway, new contracts for those players are always good for the club/fans because it increases the owning club's negotiating position while adding very little risk to the club. Fans should be happy when players who want to leave sign new contracts - that's just the reality of the post-Bosman footballing world.

    And it's not like VVD is being particularly unreasonable about this, like say Diego Costa.

    But the player not being in a position to play is a disgrace, whether or not that is the decision of the player or club I don't know.

    However, the player has signed a lucrative contact lasting until 4 or 5 years from now. If he doesn't feel committed enough to play for that club for the duration he's signed the contract, then he shouldn't sign that contract.

    Loan him back here since they won't sell him.

    If Southampton aren't going to sell him and he isn't going to play for them they should do the right thing for everyone and send him back to us on loan for a season.
    That way everybody wins.

    Still can't believe one of the bigger clubs never took a chance on him when he was available for £13 million for us. Fair enough he was playing at a lesser level but if dafties like myself can spot he had incredible potential then highly-paid scouts should have also. I said at the time he'd suit Liverpool, 2 years later they're having to pay more than 5 times the price for the pleasure, if Southampton give in that is.

    Should just take £138 for that coutinho boy and spend it all on vvd. In fact, they should also add in a sorry payment and make it 200m.

    The expression is soooooo overused on here, but I would, quite literally, spontaneously fill my underwear to overflowing with unspeakable secretions if I heard that this was happening.
