Coutinho or Barkley.

[Abertawe]

He's answering the thread title you div.

 

[Roque Santa Cruz]

My point is that I prefer Coutinho in my line-up rather than Barkley.

Can't believe this is even up for debate to be honest.....

The thread was created 16 months ago. It was still pretty obvious who the better player was but even I accept it was more of a debate back then than it is now.

Ah, noted.

Always felt that Barkley is a "when arsed" type of player. With chances more limited at Chelsea (then again.... Bakayoko LOL) it is pivotal he grasps every opportunity if he wants to get back in the England fold. Make or break.

Christ, I didn't even check. It's actually over two years ago since the thread was created. Depressing how fast that's gone.

 

[Lionel Messi]

Is there even a comparison??
Coutinho is one of the best playmakers in the world

6/10

 

[Stevencc]

Barkley plays for the champions of England.

Coutinho plays for a bunch of clowns who finished second in Spain.

Discussion over.

 

[JimJams]

Since signing Barkley, Chelsea are unbeaten. Since signing Coutinho Barca tasted their first defeat this season in all competitions.
Says it all really.

 

[Stevencc]

These are all facts.

We only deal in facts.

 

[Johnnyt]

Countinho is / was too light weight, that's why he left he was also wanting to win things.

 

[Lionel Messi]

Barkley plays for the champions of England.

Barkley never will have the influence at Everton/Chelsea like Coutinho had at Liverpool/Barca. Coutinho is technically far superior too. The ideal midfielder for Barcelona . 'Playing for the champions' means nothing my friend

Coutinho plays for a bunch of clowns who finished second in Spain.

I don't think you've watched enough Spanish football

 

[Lionel Messi]

Neither signings have anything to do with those results. Don't fool yourself with empty statistics. I see this is a common trait these days for football fans

You haven't presented one fact yet, just unsupported opinion

What do you mean "light weight"?

As in our league got to tough for him and he went to play with all the other cheats in Spain.

I do think he was too good for Liverpool in the end, he outgrew their limited ambition. Similar to when Luis Suarez joined us too.

Coutinho was definitely good enough for the English Premier League though. I think I would have put him in the top ten players ranking. I think De Bruyne and Coutinho were my favourite attacking midfielders.

 

[Bilo]

their first defeat this season in all competitions.

This is untrue.

 

[JimJams]

The super cup aint a fucking competition, get out of here with that sheeeeeeeeite lad.

Let's wait to see Barkley storm it up at Chelsea eh Toddles! I'm sure he'll put Coutinho to shade at Barca.

 

[G.B]

Good call from Toddy, you have to admit. Barkley dominating the best and most competitive league in the world with his incredible passing range and powerful long range strikes. Meanwhile little Phil scores a tap in for a team full of steroid abusers in a farmers league. He was right all along. Maybe the earth is flat after all. It's about time Salty and his mates apologised imo.

 

[Son of Cod]

Barkley by some distance. Coutinho is way too flakey for me.

Team Barkley.

Flat Earth, Brexit,Trump,Leicester and Barkley fair play to that Johnnytodd.

I'm starting to think he was right about Saltire being a 25 stone virgin too.

 

[Stevencc]

 

[SALTIRE]

Even a 25 stone virgin would have more fun out of life than Evertonians. They could also just pay for it like you do Toddles.

 

[JimJams]

That's not a denial!

 

[HarvSFC]

I would actually go as far as to say he’s championing the lifestyle.

 

[SALTIRE]

That's not a denial!

Tbh I'm closer to 25 stone than not, though got the rower set up this week to get back on it; and it has been quite a while for the other, but who needs that when I have you guys!

 

[JimJams]

Just more of you to love Salts.
