Madness if that goes through. Inter, Liverpool, Barca, Bayern.... Villa. :LOL: How the mighty have fallen. Surprised Liverpool won't take him on loan to cover the Afcon.

Legit.. Would be a really weird move but apparently he wants a "football project" its not all about the money this time around. I for one, am backing him to become Messi of the west mids :ROFLMAO:

It's all about the wages. He is on huge amounts, has not played much. None of the really big boys want to take the risk at the wage rate he is on. He is happy, so it seems, to sit out his contract at Barca so he either accepts a drop in club level, whilst taking the big money, or gets splinters at Barca. He could be a great gamble for Villa or they could be chucking money down the drain. For 6 months it is probably worth a pop.

Would certainly be a perfect replacement for Grealish. I was forgetting he would have played with Gerrard for a couple of years at Liverpool so maybe that'll help swing things.

Absolutely worth a pop! Has been a great player over the years.

Very different team now but we could do with someone with that X factor who can change a game! Interesting times - can Gerrard convince him?!
 
He has been rubbish for 3 years now , Klopp wouldn’t touch him for not just that reason as well. He will always be the poster boy for Barcelonas ridiculous spending that caused their current downfall

happy to see him rot away

Bit harsh? Was a good player for you and the money in from him more or less funded 2/3 of your current best players.

He actually did well for Bayern when loaned out and actually playing football.
 
I'd have Coutinho back if we thought he was 3/4's the player he was when he left.

I hated the way he left the club, but we didnt do too bad out of it, with hindsight.

Are you now saying you don’t believe he had a bad back? ?

He was good for us , and we managed to fleece Barce for a lot of money but the way he left means he would never be welcomed back by the manager for one let alone the fans - so have enjoyed watching the move fail.

And Bayern he wasn’t that great hence why they sent him back
