We apparently upped the bid to 8m. Some people saying Southampton bid 10, but they're ITK's saying that's not true and if it is, nothing's happened so it would appear he'd rather come to us anyway. Basically looks like we're slow playing it instead of blowing our load just to make sure we get him. But most of the papers still seem confident that we'll get a deal done.

Thanks... It's difficult to explain your following soccer transfers on twitter to your boss... They don't get it...

On a side note, it's ok to eat Chili's at the airport, right?? That's the one exception to the rule... frick I'm hungry and tired...

Chile's Too? Or whatever it's called...

Meh. I guess it's better than McDonalds or that weird Asian place. I usually opt for Schlöttzschksys

What is this Chili's place you talk of? I usually only get Subway at airports. Last thing I want on a flight is feeling gross.

Back to point. What's the latest on the Ince lad? Now that it seems Zaha is headed to the scum for £15 mn (whoa!), I would like us to get Tom Ince. I just hope the stupid amounts paid for Zaha does not artificially inflate Ince's price. On another note it is nice to see that we are actually negotiating transfers now and not rolling over and giving up to the selling clubs any more.

There were rumors about this before we made our second bid which most people seem to say is BS, and the ones that don't, say it doesn't really matter because Coutinho would only want to move to us.

Pochettino managed Coutinho while on loan at Espanyol and it's possible Coutinho may want to play for him again (they have a good relationship).

He's a very down to earth, humble player. He likes being in a rhythm and maintaining familiarity. If he does move from Inter (which it doesn't seem like he does), he may opt to play for a manager he knows well (Pochettino).

Ya I could definitely see that view, but just tough to sift through everything and try and figure out what's true and what's BS

I've read interviews where he says he gets shite from the other players a lot because he's a grandpa and goes home to watch TV every night instead of heading to the club.

So someone on RAWK started a twitter rumor that Inter accepted a 9.5m bid for Coutinho and got a few posters to retweet it. The sad thing is it's actually taken off a little.

LINK it starts at the bottom of the page and the comedy ensues

Liverpool wants to give 8 mil, they want 10+. It is a game of chicken because Inter wants Paulinho (sp?) and Coutinho is basically blocking the deal beacause he wants to go to Liverpool. Southhampton has offered more, but I don't think Coutinho will agree to terms there.
