There is much talk of the Liverpool bound Philippe Coutinho being a gamble of a signing. There are some questioning the fact that Inter are allowing an upcoming player to leave for £8.5 million. It didnt help when he suffered an injury late last year therefore losing his place. Whilst he didnt quite make it in the Italian league, he found himself doing some worthwhile in Spain. It was at Espanyol that he bagged 5 goals in 16 games.
Some people though may point to the fact that this is one failed Brazilian, South American players who struggle in Italy can't do well elsewhere. Well some maybe right and some maybe wrong. There of course Brazilians who have lit the Premier League such as Juninho in the cold and bleak northwest. It seems that when a manager takes a gamble, it is always a big risk, critics and football fans often too quick to make a judgement before the player has pulled on a shirt or graced the field.
Of course there are two names that bring dread to transfers for Liverpool fans. Apart from a few signings, Rafa Benitez and Damien Commolli bring some fear to Liverpool fans especially when Rafa recommends a player. One thing though is that if you dont shoot you dont score. Im willing to give the player a chance as I do with all players...actually Paul Konchesky is exempt from that list. That is one player who doesnt get my support. Why dammit why. Im just glad that he was moved on quite soon
