Question for Ed02 if you have the time : As mentioned in the past and again on the most recent (very much appreciated) Shaarkpod, you suggested that Barcelona were looking to reach an agreement over Coutinho by the end of November. Appreciate that it is about half an hour into December but has there been any indication reach you that they were getting close to their goal? Thanks in advance.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool arevaware where they stand but I am not aware of any agreement.}

I am not sure that Liverpool should be working with whatever Barcelona want, and on their terms,
he is our player, we hold all the cards, play it tough, I don't like the way Barcelona have gone about their pursiut of Couts, yes he wants to go, stay tough, he goes when we say so, and at a price that we set .

{Ed002's Note - Barcelona have done nothing wrong whatsoever - it is Liverpool who have repeated acted illegally in chasing players. You views on the transfer process are arrogant. If Liverpool do not wish to sell the player then all they have to do is say he is not for sale and they can keep another player who really doesn't want to be at the club.}

Hey Ed002, what is the likely hood of Pipco going in January. Does not make much sense if he cannot play in the Champions League for Barcelona or is that an irrelevant point. Would an agreement be put in place, but kept under wraps until Liverpool secure a replacement for the summer. Obviously with the Neymar-Dembele deal, Barcelona paid over the odds because clubs knew they had this huge amount of cash they were sitting on. Hopefully the club do not put themselves in a similar position and pay over odds for a player. Cheers Ed have a great weekend.

{Ed002's Note - I have no way to sensibly measure liklihood I am afraid Harry. Barcelona have been speaking to Liverpool and Kia has been involved as well. They wanted agreement by yesterday for reason I previously explained. Now Barcelona will likely step back and consider their options. I am not sure about why you have Neymar mentioned but yes they paid a lot for Dembele. The Champions League is of no relevance as Barcelona are already pushing to move players on in January - but it is a difficult time. Real Madrid are also trying to get business done for January but are encountering difficulties themselves. Again PSG are looking to move players on in January of have commited sales by June 30. All of these are are looking to sell expensive players and RM and Barcelona open to including players in part exchange.}

Cheers, thanks for the response. I should have been more clear about the Neymar mention, I was bringing it that if Barcelona had secured Dembele earlier or prior to the Neymar figure being released they could have potentially got him for cheaper. Have great weekend!

{Ed002's Note - The price for Neymar was fixed and known far, far in advance.}

Ed2: Another player who don't want to be there (Coutinho I presume you refer too) . Who or how many else are we talking about?

{Ed002's Note - There are players at Liverpool who are not happy with their lot and those looking to see what the future will hold elsewhere. Fundamentally it is no different from other clubs.}
