“Coutinho’s lost it!”

Coutinho clearly has no ambition signing a new contract at Liverpool.

Coutinho has proved to have no sense of ambition whatsoever

“It’s just to increase the fee!”

The Coutinho deal could be good news or simply an insurance cover for any transfer fee. Be real.

Coutinho signing a new contract doesn't guarantee he will stay for 5 years, just means if Barcelona come in they have to pay a high fee

Coutinho signing new deal is to get maximum fee possible when he signs 4 barca in summer. They take our players & copy our philosophy now

Brilliant from Liverpool to tie Coutinho down on a 5 year contract. Like Suárez, he will be sold for a huge fee when he inevitably leaves.

Coutinho signing a new contract just means he is going to Barca for a better fee.

“It’s just the Suarez saga again!”

Don't forget that suarez signed a new deal before he moved to barca,if barca come for him, coutinho will be off to Spain.

Great to see Coutinho sign a new 5 year contract... I can't help but think when Suarez signed a new long term deal and then got sold pic.twitter.com/N772b4DhpD

Suarez signed a new 'long term deal' and left the season afterSo if Philippe Coutinho leaves, it will be a higher fee.

Can't help but remember Suarez signing a contract extension in January then leaving in the summer, hope Coutinho stays!
