Well, escalated quickly. That really got out of hand.

What appeared a definitive move from Fenway Sports Group has ended up kicking the whole situation out into the open.

Bluffs have been called. And now we know.

Philippe Coutinho wants to leave Liverpool and, presumably, move to Barcelona instead. But FSG have no intention of selling.

Ian Doyle is joined by Liverpool reporter James Pearce and ECHO journalists Joe Rimmer and Paul Gorst to mull over the day's developments.

All attempt to fathom whether Coutinho's move will come off for the player or if FSG will stand firm.

Then there's the small matter of whether the Brazilian may have a disruptive influence on the squad.

Oh, and the Premier League season starts tomorrow for Jurgen Klopp's side and we assess the trip to Watford.

Enjoy. It's a real must-listen.
