8 goals and 6 assists for Bayern in the league in 15 starts is failure? Interesting.
Country: England
Why didn’t Bayern take up the option of signing him then?
Coutinho scored a hattrick and got two assists against a relegation battling Bremen which makes his stats look better

Look at those stats. Are those the stats of a 250k a week player?

In terms of goals and assists from midfield hes always very consistent regardless. He adds something we do not have, but people are turning it down.

I didn't read that before, but I am glad that my analysis are in tune with that Kloop said. It means I am not so bad in reading football hahaha. But it's something you can watch, he isn't capable of defending, and 433 need that from CMs and even from wingers and strikers if the manager likes to press ala Kloop, Pep and now Arteta.
I see Coutinho playing outstanding in Wenger 4231 in 10 or LW because Wenger liked one Cam as winger and players moving around with freedom. He needs that.

Özil adds nothing the fact you're comparing the two is quite frankly embarrassing.

When was the last time Özil got an assist? The last thing I remember from him was a goal against Newcastle. A weak shot at that.
Country: England
Not according to the site you keep referring to.
Last seasons stats?
Both have been nothing players for a while. Compare their assists for the past 5 years and we’ll see who comes out on top.

Probably didn't think he was worth the price tag. He isn't.
That’s for the last two years. Why am I going to compare for the last 5 years when their form is at a completely different level? We’re talking about the here and now and that shows Coutinho is outperforming Özil in nearly every metric.
Now let’s compare Coutinho this season to some of the poster boys of AM, Maddison and Grealish.

@field442 @HairSprayGooners
Bring me a season like this that Coutinho has had.

Some people need to put respect on Özil’s name. He’s a finished player now but as is Coutinho who Barca are trying to flog around Europe.

Coutinho is more of a goalscoring midfielder @Troopz he isnt finished otherwise he wouldnt have scored and assisted multiple times for Bayern. Hes only 28 ffs.
Country: England
28 but he’s being flogged around Europe as nobody wants him.
It will actually be interesting who picks up Coutinho hopefully it’s Sp**s and they’re stuck with his 250k a week wages.

Its already been said that he would have to take a wage cut to join us, chill.

It's pretty easy to score and assist for Bayern in the Bundesliga. No surprise Bayern wasn't interested to sign him permanents and that's not only due to his fee or wage.
The most scorers are against bottom half teams.
Player:Saliba
Not the direction I want us to go.
Think we really need to be recruiting in a different way.

Now let’s compare Coutinho this season to some of the poster boys of AM, Maddison and Grealish.
Those comparison charts are a bit naughty.
Firstly two of the categories just show how his game is based around goals scoring which is hardly a secret. The knock has been he doesn’t offer you anything other than the occasional goal.
Also worryingly it seems to be implied from that chart that the only reason his G and xG are so much higher than the other two is because he takes almost double the shots. Not sure how shots per 90 is a category that proves he’s a better player.
Then on top of that Grealish outperforms him at key passes while he has similar xA numbers playing in a team of plumbers while Coutinho is serving up Lewandowski and Gnabry. The fact that Grealish is underperforming his xA is a speaks to this.
Coutinho meanwhile has a sample size less than half of Grealish that which is dodgy right off the bat but because he’s significantly outperforming his xA which also indicates the elite quality of his teammates, it suggests that if he played the same number of minutes that Grealish had he’d probably have far fewer assists per 90.
