'It's simply agonising that he is doing this'

Fans have been reacting to Philippe Coutinho’s transfer request on the ECHO’s LFC Facebook page.

John Hall Take £100 mill and go get Aubameyang and VVD... couthino isn’t worth that amount and not even our best player ....

Elaine Morrice At last a Manager who stands his ground......good for you jurgen klopp, we will never get anywhere seling our top players, Coutinio has just signed a new contract, stick to your guns jurgen you are an excellent manager......YNWA

Tito Hsiao It’s sad that there’s no loyalty in the game now.

Coutinho was an unknown when Liverpool brought him to the club from Inter Milan; as they nurtured him, making him what he is today and after a season of brilliance, he wants to leave for Barcelona.

He actually did not performed very well in the team until last season; it’s simply agonising that he is doing this, submitting a transfer request, after what the club had done for him.

I wonder if we could get the best out of him in this new season; perhaps the club should consider selling him if he’s not in the right mind to put in an effort for the club.

Along Konyak Anfield Faithful I blame the fans for this. when he said he won’t force a move, still the fans said “no one is more important than the club” some even said “get £100+m for him” and so on. all this internet warriors are too be blamed in case Coutinho really submitted the transfer request. i know the club is more important than a player but some players do need some respect.

Chris Hughes I’ve been a fan of Coutinho since he arrived, a player who was being passed around Europe to fulfil his potential. We took a huge perceived risk on him and made him a star. Now he better get back to work and stop whining like a little bitch. The season is upon us, yes Liverpool FC them that pay his wages.

Paul Beer No good keeping players who have minds else where ........ but the first for year Liverpool got a chance to step up a level ..,,, seems a bloody mess to me , you get one chance at this if lucky.... let’s not blow it ?

Steve Cotgreave He wants play in the world cup so he can either play for us or rot. Barcelona’s offer is a joke as well, they get that money for neymar and then think they can get him for less than half of that. The day before the new season as well, shows no class.

Dave Wood Its about time players started respecting the contracts THEY sign (their more than happy take the hike in wages they recieve when they agree to a new contract)! So if its true let him rot in the reserves for 5yrs then he can leave for free because im sick of these foreign players coming here just to use this great club as a stepping stone! Let him rot and lets get some of our youth lads promoted!

Reza You do not know thank you to liverpool who has saved your drowning career when in inter milan and until now you become a great player in liverpool. Basic human traitor

Ramon Carvalho it’s a mess to maintain a unhappy player, if Coutinho wants to move on then let him go, Liverpool is bigger than anyone
