And that's that.

Philippe Coutinho is on his way to Barcelona, and with a whiff on inevitability too.

A £142million deal was enough to prise the Brazilian out of Liverpool's hands and send him to Camp Nou.

But was it the right decision from the Reds? Did they really need to let him go?

All that, and an awful lot more Coutinho, is debated on a special edition of the Blood Red podcast.

Liverpool reporter James Pearce joins ECHO journalists Ian Doyle and Neil Jones to discuss what it all means for Jurgen Klopp's side and Reds owners Fenway Sports Group.

It's a big deal in every respect.

And, as always, this is the best in-depth discussion, offering insight, experience and a dash of humour.

Enjoy.
