Why would they sell? They are moving to 3 at the back and have sold Gabriel. They need defenders.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Why haven't Arsenal been linked with VVD? He'd immediately improve them and they'd get a semblance of leadership in that team. I'd say they need him more than Chelsea and Arsenal are probably a better prospect to win things than Liverpool.
He wants to bring in another CB but needs to make squad smaller first. He's been playing Monreal and Kolasinac in the back three as well.
Current CB options: Koscielny (injured), Mertesacker (retiring), Mustafi, Monreal, Kolasinac, Holding
Surplus to requirements: Chambers
7 CBs in the first team would be a bit too much, so can see both Chambers and Mustafi going if Arsenal are guaranteed to bring someone else in then next summer when Mertesacker has retired, another CB will be bought.
£138m for Coutiniho 
I'm sorry but he just isn't that special. How Barca can be willing to pay that and how Liverpool can be willing to reject it is just insane...

Transfers have really slowed down now, haven't they...
Wenger come get Smalling and £20 million for Sanchez. You know you want it.
If City get him they'll surely win the league. Unfortunately it doesn't look like Arsenal have any viable alternative options now PSG have cooled their interest, so they may well take the money and hand the title to Pep.
Certainly possible but the Arsenal fans would be livid beyond belief. The resulting protests would make the ones of last year look positively tame in comparison and I doubt very much Arsene could survive it.
Spurs with a statement of intent in the transfer market.
Barca should honestly calm down and use a few years to re build. 140 million for Coutinho is embarrasing.
Definitely needed to strengthen their back up goalkeeper options
So Barca have 222m and can't sign anyone except for the Spurs reject from China?
Problem is that everyone knows they have the 222m burning a hole in their pocket and are quoting them the 'United' discount.
They can't rebuild while Messi is in his prime. Would be a total waste. They are forced to splash the cash!
Lovely...
Yeah that's why I can see why Liverpool are hesitant to sell Coutinho even for an exhorbitant fee.
The way things are going - 4 out of top 5 leagues in Europe you can pretty much guarantee who is going to win the league this year.
One second, trying to find him on Google. Keep getting articles about Paul Gascoigne's battle with alcohol abuse?
I'd be delighted if Liverpool reject that ridiculous offer.
Honestly would not mind if Mourinho went for him. He is like a little chihuahua on energizer batteries. Good player.
Haven't been in the least impressed in the little I have seen of him vs Napoli tbh.
Don't they already have 3 goalkeepers? Bit random.
They had Pau Lopez as their third goalkeeper on loan from Espanol last season, but let him return to Spain.
Think they are making a big mistake. Just wait until they do want rid and cannot get even half of that.
WHU made an offer to Sunderland to get Ndong. Discussions are going between both clubs.
Not every player denied a transfer then goes on to have a Suarez like season.
I just hope this blows up in Liverpool's face.
The poor lad that didnt offer enough Britishness according to Davy Boy
They are basically morons. If Barca are indeed offering that much, they could turn buy 3 quality players over the next couple of windows and take the squad to an entirely new level. Losing him could be mitigated if they keep the rest of their key players healthy until Jan.
I don't think he is anywhere near the quality of Suarez. They should be biting Barca's hand off. He is a good player, nowhere near great.
Think they are just trying to make themselves look big by standing up to Barcelona.
Yep which is why Coutinho is so desperate to leave. Unlike Suarez, probably realises the opportunity probably won't come around again. Hopefully this will cause some discontent in the Liverpool dressing room.
Liverpool are mad anyway. If they get £150m for him they'll be getting at least twice his worth.
