Phil Thompson says Coutinho would not be as big a loss as Suarez

The loss of Phillippe Coutinho would not be as damaging to Liverpool as was the departure of Luis Saurez in 2014.

That’s the view of club legend Phil Thompson who also says that he would love to see Diego Costa come to Anfield.

Following the record-breaking transfer of Neymar from Barcelona to PSG, speculation has intensified that Coutinho will follow in the footsteps of Suarez by leaving Liverpool to join Barcelona.
