All major outlets saying that Farcelona have given up on Coutinho so it's very unlikely Yakka.

This may not actually be as far fetched as it sounds, he is behind Isco in the pecking order and may fancy a starring role in the prem ahead of a bench role at Real.
Because it's the Spanish press I'm refusing to get my hopes up too much yet but he would be a fantastic signing, he would transform our midfield. He's better than Keita imo.

He's a fantastic player and one of the best passers in the world imo. He isnt quite Alonso in his style (more mobile but not as solid defensively) but he's the type of player fans will love. Watched him play against Guinamp yesterday, dont recall him missing a pass; he's always trying to pick out runners down the flanks as well. Curls almost every pass.
I know we need a more defensive midfielder to partner Wijnaldum but I dont think I'd mind these 2 as a partnership if we can defend a bit better down the flanks. We'd be great in possession.
Talk about Alonso, always fancied our youth player Chirivella cause his passing style reminds me of the Alonso. What happened to him? Klopp doesnt seem to fancy him...
He's gone out on loan again. Signed a deal with Willem II for the season.
Being honest I think this lad will be heading out the door in a year or so. We sent him out last year to gain 1st team experience and he got it but the decision was made to send him out again. I don't think Jurgen rates him either as I think he has only managed 1 appearance in the league for us under him. I always believe if the manager rates you he will keep you around in order to develop your career under him. Its pointless sending a player that you want to use to develop under another coach in another league. None of these players we send out come back into our 1st team either so highly doubtful Pedro will be the first. I would be thinking different if Jurgen had kept the lad for our preseason so he at least has time to coach him but he opted to pack him off instead. We are constantly led to believe we are signing top talents for the future but we are not because we barely even use any of these lads. He will be just another one who never got a chance.

He might very well be better than Keita as you say. Fantastic player and the way he ran the show in the 2nd game against Barcelona was impressive for a player his age. He also did it playing a holding midfield role.
That said, it would take 70+ mill to sign him from Madrid imo. I also doubt he'd have any interest in joining us given the amount of playing time Zidane affords him and the other younger players in Madrid. He's also the first in rotation behind their starting midfield trio with Isco and Asensio usually deputizing for one of the front 3.

I would be happy if we signed him for £30-£40m.. but he's not worth the £70m that's being quoted.
