I don\u2019t think it will, there\u2019s no doubt in anyone\u2019s mind that Coutinho is class, but I think the club is in a better position now compared to the past like when Torres left or even Suarez, and we have a manager who can attract a better calibre of player than, no disrespect to him, Brendan Rodgers.<\/p>\n<p>The current squad is more than capable of finishing top 4 and I\u2019m more than sure we will add to the squad this month. To replace Phil, everyone\u2019s saying Thomas Lemar the French International but Monaco don\u2019t look like they want to sell this month, although I\u2019m sure \u00a390m will test their resolve.\u00a0 We have also been linked with Riyad Mahrez but me personally I\u2019d like to see us bring Naby Keita\u2019s move forward to this month to be honest. That would be good but again I am not sure what the chances are with that.<\/p>\n<p>So if I had to choose I\u2019d go with Mahrez, Premier League proven and he would be available to play in the Champions League as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Peter asks Chris Hurst his thoughts on Phil Coutinho leaving, the consequences and who should replace him at Anfield&#8230;.
