Just make a poll Coutinho vs Kepa. Coutinho because Barca wasn't forced into that deal like Chelsea were after Courtois forced a move to Real and no one was willing to sell a GK that late in the window. Both are the correct answer though lol.

Kepa. £72m paid and he's been one of the worst goalies in Europe this year while being only mediocre last year.

Chelsea made the deal worse by themselves by signing him to a 7 years contract.

And Barca have at least found a way to loan Coutinho out.

 

[Gecklund]

John Stone, Nick Otamendi

John Stone, Nick Otamendi

Definitely not Otamendi. He was serviceable for them and even won a title as a starter. Barca alone have like 3 worse lol.

Maybe not biggest but definitely up there.

How though it was relatively cheap considering the market now. As I said he won a title as a starter. Hell in his prime he was better than McGuire plus cheaper.

I mean I’ll probably have Maguire in there in the next few seasons.

Kepa easily. He is the worst keeper in the PL and cost nearly 80mil.

At least the others have had serviceable stretches.

Kepa was serviceable in year 1 though.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Alexis Sanchez to United.

 

[robertmac43]

Yeah would say Kepa is probable the best answer here. Put him to the side now and go again :p

 

[Cassano]

Kepa was serviceable in year 1 though.

He was 15th in save percentage last season. He is a terrible shot stopper (weak wrists), lacks the height to command in crosses and despite having good feet, his distribution doesn't come close to offsetting those deficiencies. He was only serviceable in your eyes because Chelsea were the best possession team last season and rarely allowed shots.

The difference between 15th and 10th or even 8th was very small in terms of sv%. He was typical Kepa last season, what he was in Spain. He was a mediocre/serviceable keeper in Spain that some people thought had more potential. He was that in the 1st year, and this year he has regressed. People forget that Kepa was solid and get starts over De Gea for Spain because De Gea struggled.

 

[Cassano]

1. Kepa
2. Danny Drinkwater
3. Diego Costa
4. Thomas Lemar
5. Coutinho

2. Danny Drinkwater

He was 35 million to Chelsea right?

 

[bleedblue1223]

He was 35 million to Chelsea right?

Yep.

 

[robertmac43]

Yep.

Yikes that's rough.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Alexis Sanchez to United.

Winner!

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Coutinho

 

[bleedblue1223]

Yikes that's rough.

Bakayoko, Morata, Kepa, Zappacosta, even Batshuayi was quite a bit too.

 

[PeteWorrell]

Jury is still out but Hazard to Real has the potential to be one if his ankle is done.

 

[JeffreyLFC]

Coutinho

I still think he is better than what Barcelona fans think of him.

I remember him being good just after his transfer to Barcelona. Not amazing but doing fine. It was the year after that he was putrid and shipped out. Now he is nowhere near worth €150M but he is still a quality player for a decent team.
