Just a random one for a Friday........ Looks like Barca are trying to shop Coutinho again. If we could get him on a season's loan with an option to buy with Barca paying a slug of the wages... would he be worth looking at ?
With finances tight but Barca looking to do a deal, could be a stop-gap solution, esp if he comes in, plays well and we sign him in 12 months when the stadium is back open, money coming in and hopefully having secured CL football
Thoughts
I know we tried to get him last year. I know we have other priorities but I still think he's a great player, quite frankly I think he's better than either GLC or Dele in a number 10 role.
Might be the kind of signing that makes a difference, proven PL performer and the type of player that excites the fans as well as make a statement to the likes of Kane that we have some ambition

He joined Milan in the summer of 2008, Mourinho left Milan in the summer of 2008😳

I don’t think Spurs need him. They’ve already got an underperforming attacking mid that they need to try and get a tune out of. And he’s not going to play ahead of Son.

Yeah I think exactly this. The way we will get more of a tune out of our creative players will be through the protection of a DM than signing Coutinho.

Yeah, he couldn't move countries until he was 18 in 2010.

He actually played against us in that 4-3 game Bale scored a hat trick in
Think he came on as a sub

He was always going to leave Inter that season they won the treble.

Exactly the sort of deal we will not do.
May be last summer when we had Poch and more money to spend and he was a year younger. But you have to ask yourself, if Barca and Bayern do not want him, there must be a reason....quite possibly because he is not value for money and you know Spurs will not go anywhere that isnt value for money!
