Do Not Sell My Personal Information
While Philippe Coutinho was a hero to many of the Liverpool fans here in the Transfer Tavern over the years, his recent mega money to Barcelona has seen the attitude toward the brilliant Brazilian turn somewhat sour. Indeed, amid suggestions the midfielder forced a move over to the Camp Nou, he’s public enemy number one on Merseyside.
Ruled out of the Reds’ recent games with a mystery injury, the more cynical Kopites who propped up our bar were suggesting the former Inter Milan youngster was faking his ailment in order to avoid an actual one. However, now his move is complete, it seems the Selecao samba star was telling the truth all along.
As revealed by Sky Sports, Coutinho’s thigh injury is likely to rule him out of action for three weeks, meaning he’ll have to wait to make his debut for the Blaugrana. Still, as you can imagine, the former Anfield hero wasn’t exactly given much sympathy amongst fans online.
