So we bid £8m, they wanted ten and we finally signed him for £11m

How do you know that ?

Says on sky italia website. Decent signing - a good option off the bench in the short term and long term could be a top player for us.

I don't 'know' it, just repeating what I've read. I've included the source, what more can I do?

Sweet. Coutinho, herdersinha and maradowning all on the same pitch.

let's hope so

Hope so.

Haven't seen much of him, but he had a big reputation and appears to have a good deal of natural ability. Hopefully BR could bring the best out of him.

Out of the two, this signing made more sense to me than the proposed one for Ince.

Best to wait before he's signed though. We've been down this road before

The lfc website normally accounces if a deal has actually been agreed, so im guessing its close

Sky Italia makes the The Sun look reliable. I wouldn't hold your breath lads. Where does this guy play?

In any of the attacking midfield positions.

Kag. We enjoy getting optimistic, before crashing back to reality. I thought everyone knew that!

Zaha is going to cost more than coutinho

I still want Ince too. We need a wide player who scores and scares with pace.

I hope we don't sign Ince. i don't think he's good enough and certainly not worth more than six million.

And?

Just because he's Brazilian doesn't make him an instant world beater. Zaha might end up being Miles better than this lad. He may not be either. We don't know yet.

You're only basing this on nationality at the moment. Nothing else. Apparently apart from a short spell under Benitez at Inter, Countinho has been laregely dissapointing at Inter if you read the reports. I have no idea as I don't watch Serie A anymore.

How many Brazilians have been a success in England as well? There's been far more flops. Zaha also doesn't have to learn a new language and settle into a new country.

This is just a case of 'our player is better than yours' with absolutely nothing to back it up. Let's see who is the best player in 2- 3 years.

@JNorthcroft: Coutinho to Liverpool with medical on Monday but initial fee much less than the €13m being reported - €10m.

Northcroft is a Times correspondent so could be something in it.....

13m euros..

Once again we have been taken to the cleaners on price. Do we have chimps running our negotiation department?

Good signing but 13m euros

Neo. See above

I certainly hope so terminator, am fed up of us overpaying on players.

we got Sturridge cheap

Not sure why people think 10-12 million is some massive sum.

zaha is 15. Expensive yes but not some staggering amount.

LFC has apparently improved the terms of payment, giving them more cash upfront so they can get their new player.

Neo is one of them who complains when we overpay and complains when the owners refuse to pay more.
