Philippe Coutinho has left Liverpool

In case you've been living under a rock lady and gentle readers you can't help but have noticed that Philippe Coutinho has left Liverpool for Barcelona. I'm sad to see him go but the fact is we've known he wanted to leave for a good few months and it was either going to happen in January or the end of the season. The fact of the matter is players come and go with none of them being bigger than the club. So bye bye little magician and have fun at Barcelona.

However lets look to the present and future, FSG are finally putting their money where their mouth is and shelling out for some good players in Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk. We've amassed a squad with the likes of Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. We're looking good in attack and we have a fighting chance of finishing top four. In short back Jurgen Klopp, we'll get whoever we get and Klopp will know who he wants. Hopefully for the fans there'll be a bit of buzz throughout January with maybe a new signing coming in. But all in all at the moment for Liverpool fans the reasons to be cheerful outnumber the reasons to be pessimistic.
