Wikipedia says he is a box-to-box MF.

I can't see them shelling out a crazy amount for him and not recoup some money, especially if they do go for VVD.

They aren't selling any of their other main players anytime soon (unless they lose Can) and they will only get about 50p for Sturridge.

I'd love it if they sold coutinho, they'll be half the team. What price to replace him in this inflated market?

More to the point, why are you and a few others so precious when someone actually posts a rebuttal when you try and argue the toss?

Am I exempt from being able to cross examine your point of view? Or are you just salty because I posted a bit of proof?

Cross examination ? this isn't crown court mush !

What are you so desperately trying to prove anyway ? a couple of pt sessions off season surely should be par for the course for a professional athlete who earns millions annually.

The beginning middle and end of my "case" is I refuse to give kudos to a professional athlete for exercising , good luck convincing the Jury otherwise !

Pochettino to give Vincent Janssen one more season | Daily Mail Online

This means there won't be striker signing.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Not one quote, just the DailFail putting 2 and 2 together. It's pretty clear to everyone that Vincent is in Poch's plans, he has the makings of a fantastic understudy to Kane. This 'One more season' BS is added pressure he doesn't need. The guy has clearly been putting in extra shifts in the off season so all credit to him. Lets cut him some slack. There are other places on the pitch that concern me more...
 
Janssen is trying very hard and he is a very decent guy but it's not happening for him yet. Poch is being very fair and is giving him every chance. Let's hope it will work out for him this season.

It doesn't necessarily have to be "bad news", he might find his feet and have a decent season?

Who among us thought that Son would score 20+ in his second season? Janssen has goals in him, there's no question. It's just a matter of confidence and consistency.

He has so many opportunities to score, even in a limited role. He could easily have scored 10 goals in the league last season, but for some great saves and missing sitters.

They really seem to want him. Makes me wonder if Coutinho IS Barcelona-bound.

He is not. Liverpool have been interested in keita since last summer and missed out on him to Leipzig from the sister club Salzburg. After the season he had,it's believed klopp is desperate to land him. Couthino and keita is two totally different players. One will be the attacking mid of the 3 and the other will be the box to box dynamo. Players like lallana,gini and Can will see a lot less time on the pitch i suppose

You're absolutely right non of their regulars will leave. Not even Can. But from what ive read liverpool are heavily backed in the market this summer. Figures of 200 mil come to the fold. Seems like Spurs is the only one of the top clubs not using the new tv money to full effect. But of course the new stadium construction is costing a bucket load

He's only had 1 season so far. Lamela and Son had bombscares of first seasons.
Hopefully he'll have the glorious 2nd seasons they had :)

I really REALLY hope so but watching the PSG game I still don't see that he has the basic attributes to come good.

I really want to see something to cling onto but I'm not seeing it. All that stood out for me was a couple of poor touches, lost possession, poor positioning, never finding space and him looking like he has no balance.

There was one good through ball to Davies.

I'm not going to judge on the first 45 mins of pre season but sooner or later he's going to have to show some glimmer of improvement.
