Coutinho was their best player. This argument is weird. He sold their most talented player. Other teams would Not get away with that. Imagine Barcelona sold Iniesta in 2015
He was Liverpool’s most valuable player and most talented, but he didn’t fit Klopps long term philosophy
A little like for example selling Pogba... he’s our most talented player, most valuable asset, but we could sell him and re-strengthen in other areas. If we were to do that, get for example 100m for Pogba, and buy 2 x 50m players, have the net spend is zero, yet Ole had a financial asset in Pogba to help him in the transfer market. Back to my argument, people are praising Klopp for excellent net spend, but all I’m saying is he is blessed with the ability to flog an asset like Coutinho to aid his spending.
Also... worth noting, United sold their best player in Ronaldo, and won the PL 2 years later. It does happen in world football.
