COUTINHO EXIT A GAIN FOR LIVERPOOL

Liverpools season has been more positive than neagtive this season, the team looks to have settled into jurgens Klopps way of play and there also seems to be a team spirit that i havent seen in many years at anfield. I think this whole comes from Jurgens man managment and conncetion with the players rather than tactics. The team is currently playing great football and the recent rotations have helped curb the over reliance on certain palyers only which seemed to be one of the problems last season.

The signing of Van Dijk will hopefully adress some of the issues in defence and can perhaps make liverpool a much stronger opposition. Keita is still to arrive in the summer and judging by his performances in the budesliga he will be a fine addition to the liverpool midfield. Thus with all these positives liverpool fans ought not to feel too disheartened with the imminent exit of coutinho. Yes like many Liverpool fans i had hope, great hope that he would turn out to be another Gerrad ( Loyal one club man). However this as it seems right now will not be the case unless barcelona make a drastic U turn on the deal.

I firmly believe Liverpool has everything to gain from this deal, a large amount of money for a player they bought relatively cheaply. This is good business. On the pitch he is no longer the game changer he was two seasons ago, Salah is now the main man and with Mane still scoring i dont see how his exit will be a huge blow. I also belive Jurgen Klopp signs good players and belive he already has a great replacemnt in mind for the departing number 10 ( Mkhitaryan maybe?) why not liverpool will have the money and am sure he will come at a cheaper value than what he was bought for.

He will no doubt be missed as his a special player who brought different dimensions to Liverpools game however his exit will be very much a gain to liverpool as a whole rather than a big distraction that everyone seems to view it as.

Thus all this talk of Liverpool crumbling because of one players exit is simply made up in the media. Liverpool will be stronger with coutinhos exit not weaker. Watch this space!
