Do you actually think Coutinho's price would have gone up by £50m or something just because he played in the World Cup? What if he's shite, would it still go up? Liverpool and Barcelona could easily have reached a deal for a summer transfer before the World Cup began. You saying 'Ah, but Liverpool could have rejected that!' doesn't mean it couldn't have happened.

How do you not understand why LFC had to sell a player in January?

How do you not understand that selling your best player is detrimental to a league campaign?

At no point did I say I didn't understand either of these things. Why Liverpool sold Coutinho is not a mystery. A team selling their best player in January is detrimental to a league campaign regardless of the club he moves to having Champions League football. You're a fucking clown mate.
