Not sure if it's already been discussed on here but could the Coutinho loan actually be tied in with a deal for Eriksen to Barca (either for now or for next season) - for example; we take Coutinho on loan but at a considerably lower loan fee but with a view to either swapping or selling CE next season to Barca who get first call??

Would Barca want him?

Eriksen is a free agent next summer so there'd be nothing for us to swap.

Luckily with Barca also being in Miami, Levy has the advantage :)
Also think the RB will be Hysaj on Loan and not Atal, Napoli also in Miami.



Agree. Hence my analogy about a girlfriend, not a one night stand. But if it’s the choice between that and going home alone, you’d take one night of comfort surely :)
Going home alone is comfortable but I would take the one night stand ;)

Well my thinking was, as a player to be signed outright, perhaps Barca aren't interested at the moment.
BUT as a swap deal where they might have more bargaining power - he might seem quite desirable.

Are talk sport and sky owned by the same company? I'm sure it was talk sport who said Coutinho was "definitely" going on loan to a PL club yesterday.

Jim white saying Coutinho’s rejected us, wants to stay at Barca

Sounds very similar to Bale situation then.
Player still no longer wanted at their club, but determined to stick it out and prove a point.

I mean are we actually taking Jim White as having any legitimate sources? Can't say I'm aware of him breaking anything of note unless it's lower league stuff.
