Coutinho on loan

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1161279/Arsenal-Barcelona-Philippe-Coutinho-loan-deal-transfer-news
Really hope this happens, I can't see it happening though as I can't really see why Coutinho would come to us but who knows.
Still wondering though why on earth there are no rumours about us signing centre backs, we desperately need to strengthen the defence.

At 27m for a season loan?

Arsenal are welcome to him.

£27m for one season for a player who cost £130m for 5 seasons. Good value.

Loans aren't nearly as cheap as many assume. I heard we're paying like £15m as the loan fee for Ceballos. Coutinho would cost a lot to loan as well. The move might make sense if we got rid of Mkhi and/or Ozil, but that isn't happening.

If Barca want to trade Lacazette for him though (heard they were interested earlier in the summer), I'm up for that. There's a player somewhere in Coutinho that can be rediscovered if he escapes his Barca nightmare.

Is this £15M loan fee for ceballos being reported by anybody credible? All I see is the metro and daily star.

Dont make sense. Too many midfielder with him. We dont need another.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For argument's sake, what if we shift Mkhi and get in Coutinho on a loan to buy? I'd argue that does make sense.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Absolute no signal that we shift one of our midfielder. Only a few days to go. What's your point?

The way the window is going you just would not be surprised at all... but I cannot see it. We have Ozil on £350,000 a week, gotta sell Mk and have just loaned in Cabellos (I assumed to replace Ramsey).

In terms of value for money on the £27,000,000. I’m guessing that includes wages? If he came and helped us get back into champions league, Europa league challenge etc,. Then sure, money wouldn’t be a problem. But hindsight is a pretty thing.

We should really be going for Samuel Umtiti

Option to buy at the end of the loan I read.

Hoping we have a busy week Suddenly there is some excitement around the club!

I think the idea is to go for the same plan that Kevin Keegan used at Newcastle i.e. ignore defence go all out attack and win all the games 9-8

He’s too good for your Thursday night poverty, stick to over priced french penalty takers.

That’s about your level.

Yes we have defenders that make errors but the reason why we concede so many goals is because of the ridiculous high line we play
