So the big question is what next for Coutinho? Some fans saying he should rot in the reserves but that won't happen, this isn't a sakho situation, a club doesn't refuse to sell a player and then refuse to play them. So what happens?

The first part is up to the player, will he sulk or will be get back to work? I'd be pissed if it was the former, at the very least he should be professional. If he is available then he doesn't make the team for city, maybe an unused substitute, see how the crowd respond to him. From there a slow reintegration based on his commitment and performances. Hopefully he'll play a major role this season, we have a much better chance of the title of he does.

no matter how he reacts he may have to buy himself a cushion and sit on the bench for awhile the team have been doing ok without him. if he wants to walk round with a gob on him an sulk he's got to live with his own actions.

Waste of a place on the bench, stands for Pipco. Training with the youths. Subs bench for the u23's.

Yeah mr Dennis! That will drive the club so well' let's teach him a lesson and pat on ourselves on the back for turning down all that cash to keep him in the under 23's.!
