Why are we worrying about money. If Ceballos cost 7m including his wages agent fee etc.. of course Coutinho will cost somewhere between 15-20m.

Let's be honest Graham, if a source backs up what you think you believe it, if it doesnt back up your thoughts its a terrible source.
The latest news was Coutinho needs to take a pay cut to join us and he could be willing to do so. If that's the case its excellent business.
No point going over stats constantly. But even if the overall fee for Coutinho is 15-20M for the year with a reduced option to buy then its better than signing Buendia for 20M and certainly better than signing Grealish for 70M or more.
We need a player who can break dow teams that aren't as good as us, Coutinho is that guy.

This is most likely media/Kia driven. Not sure we're actually interested just like last year.
That being said, a loan is a good idea.

Arteta is looking for creativity, we lack cash, Coutinho is looking for a club. Kia is the agent.
Let's see.
Whatever he costs (more like £20m, not £30m), that’s pretty much the standard yearly cost for any half decent player. £40m fee, £40m contract, that’s £16m a year.
Neither you or me are paying for it. We fans don't know how much transfer budget is don't know how much our wage bill is it's all prediction from the media clubs are not stupid they not gonna reveal how much they have Arteta said that everything is private. if they afford and won't hurt us in future specially if it's a loan then they'll pay.

I would only be 100% happy with it if we also got other targets in and only if its Coutinho OR Willian. Would hate both.
Coutinho and spend money on a wide player or Willian and spend money on a AM.

Think one of the early sources for this said our offer features a serious wage cut for Coutinho. He didn’t reject that outright, but wanted to wait and see what his options were.

Was hoping this was just gonna be a comp of him having a ton of long shots that go miles wide, for the bantz
The Coutinho loan / Willian deal only make sense if Auba stays.
If he is off we need longer term targets as 4th would be miles off.

What’s that got to do with anything? None of us has paid for any of the transfer fees or wages of our current or previous players, the amount invested still matters.
The more I think about it, the less sense it makes.. You are investing 15-20m in Coutinho, an investment that will be gone in a year.. Let’s say we instead went for Buendia for a similar fee or bit more.. If Buendia flops you can recoup the money, If Coutinho flops you ended up wasting it with nothing in return.. If Buendia is a success you have a great player for several years or you’ll sell him for great profit. If Coutinho is a success you still lose him after a year, so the only way this is beneficial for us is if he can help us get insant results (cl football). Is he good enough for that?
Buendia is just an example, could be any of the other players mentioned in that range or someone they’ve scouted.. Point is short term deals like this just doesn’t seem like a smart idea.
Need to stick around and pattern Gagan whenever he's acting up this summer.

Just recently @yousif_arsenal was crying about Sokratis' wages and now "why are we worrying about money" and "we are not paying for it".
Such an agenda merchant.

Anyway my prediction is nothing will happen until we sort out Özil situation if he stays here we not getting attacking mid. If he somehow leave it'll open many doors for us to replace him
