Sometimes I don't get the hype about Liverpool selling Coutinho.
I mean sure they bought him from Merda for 8.5M and he balled out for them for 5 seasons before Barcelona picked up the tab...
But They sold him for £143million and then used that money to buy Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for £75million in the winter mercato, and then spent the other £66m on Alison..
I mean, sure they upgraded their CB and GK positions, but it was basically a 2 for 1 trade off....
Link to the source of the figures.
I just don't see what's so great about it. They secured 2 pieces for letting go of 1.
Paolo secured Tomori, Mike and Tonali for less than half of that amount.
And without selling a single player too.
