I think you'll find that the first part of the argument is why he's leaving us mate. Ruffled a few of the wrong feathers by all accounts.
Based on the 'back injury' excuse for him not playing and then the reports that he's been poor in training and has twice seen Klopp to ask to leave.
Clynes problem is cowardice he is so afraid of losing theballheback passes too much. Lallana is mostly all hair. He's good for ads for give a but he's a sunshine boy when playing ball.
I don't think he's feeling very blue at the moment. I've always rated him as you know but he's at a point in his career where he will go one way or the other and it would be an unpredictable signing and we don't need that. I can't see past Rafinha, he's available and is the right age. Barca would also jump at the chance of reducing the transfer fee and their wage bill all in one go. £100M plus Rafinha would be a great deal.
Sources I've read is he doesn't get along with Koeman. Other excuses could be being political with his current club. I'm sure a lucrative enough contract and he'd be happy to stay in the city.
He's been offered over £100k a week, it's not about money. Koeman didn't blow smoke up his hoop so there might be something in that. But it's the fact that he feels he needs to get out of the City that's driving the move. He's had his collar felt by local *cough* businessmen.
Again to further my point on Rafinha, fans would be excited by the signing. I would be gutted Coutinho had gone but instantly excited by the prospect of Rafinha.
