We hold all the cards so we really shouldn't get bullied by Barca. Sort a deal out for the summer if they desperately want him they will accept. With Coutinho he can sulk all the way faking injuries uptil end of the window and im sure after that he will start playing again.
If we do let him go now i would be very surprised.
We could hold him to his contract if we wanted to, yes he'd probably throw a hissy fit and ***** off to Brazil for 6 months but he would have to make a decision sooner or later, he could either go on strike for 5 years losing tens of millions in wages and wasting the best years of his career or he could knuckle down and try to achieve his footballing dreams here.
It's not like he is at a shyte club, we are a massive footballing institution in our own right, we have one of the best managers in world football, we have just broken the world transfer record for a defender, Keita is arriving next summer and up front he is surrounded by 3 very good players in Firmino, Mane and Salah.
We should hold him to his contract, he was happy enough to sign it, he's on nearly £200,000 a week ffs it's not like he is being treated badly.
