I understand what you mean but you don't spend that much money on a product (yes modern day sports is akin to merchandising) you cannot enjoy for every minute of its lifespan and I say lifespan because he has a term contract and when you divide the principal by the term you get very hefty sums draining out in value not to talk of wages and except he earns the club Beckham like income from image rights and merchandise, it is a financial hit on the business side.

I mean clubs like Madrid will tell you how much they lose with a serial in patient that is Gareth Bale and Arsenal will tell you what Van Persie cost them. Not saying Coutinho is injury prone but injuries to expensive players us just that.... expensive financial injury to club.

You got it totally wrong Bro, Ronaldo also get injured, Top players also do get injured

There's a difference between an injury prone player and an injured player

Reus is an injury prone player and a very good, but no club don't wanna acquire him

Even if he was trekking from anfield to camp nou, he has no right to come up with any injury, not even headache, considering the money spent on him.
If you don't know the whole story, just shut the entire Bleep up. He sustained the injury during his last game at Anfield. Unfortunately, you're just too stupid to know.

So why were you pouring insults on Ronaldo when this post has nothing to do with him?
There was no comment made against Coutinho or Barcelona, yet you immediately started attacking Ronaldo.

According to Barça's official website, Coutinho has an injury to his right thigh and is expected to be out for around 20 days.
In my opinion, he is not really injured. Just like what LFC did by faking his injury until his future is decided, Barça chose to preserve Coutinho for 3 weeks, which is also the amount of time left for the end of transfer window. Coincidence ? Nah. For many reasons :
✔ 1st, Barça wants to fix the jersey numbers problem. Paulinho, Dembélé and the other signings all had their numbers on their presentations, Coutinho didn't. Therefore the club still can't decide what jersey number Phil should wear. There are 3 options :
• Take off the 7° jersey from Arda right away and give it to Coutinho, which will seem very disrespectful towards Turan, who is still a part of the team and had contributed in many trophies we won in the past. Guardiola had done the same with Eto'o and Henry in 2008/09 summer preparations when he gave the 9 to Henry and the 14 to Samuel. It didn't end well.
• Let Arda keep the number 7 and give some other available number to Coutinho, most probably the 24°. In case Arda leaves during the following weeks, which is more likely to happen, then Coutinho will have to change it to 7°. It'd be better if he keeps one number during the whole season.
• Wait until the Arda Turan saga ends, and decide Philippe's number according to what happens. 24° if Arda stays and 7° if Arda leaves. And that's what Barça did. Coutinho jerseys are already beeing sold in Barcelona stores with the number 7 on them. Which means Arda will most probably be sold this winter. They just don't want to disrespect him by giving his number to another player while he is still here.
✔ Secondly, the guy is still new to the city, to the club. He just arrived to Barcelona yesterday. He still didn't find a home yet, he's reportedly going to live next to Suarez and Messi. He's still yet to know how the club works and share some training sessions to know more about his teammates and what Valverde wants from him. He needs time to settle down with his family. This transfer window wasn't easy for him so he needs to take some rest before attacking the games.
✔ He needs time to adapt, so does Dembélé. Technically they both joined the club at the same time, Ousmane is still new to the system aswell, he's been injured for 4 months. A Coutinho in the team right now would disturb Dembélé's adaptation. Not only Phil could play in same position as Dembouz, but also in terms of integration. For a player to integrate better in a team he needs to be in an atmosphere of integration, Coutinho (new) and Dembélé (also new) in the same team is no good. Dembélé has to start amongst 10 players who already know each other, to understand the automatisms, little by little. So must do Phil. Throwing Coutinho in there aswell when Dembélé is still learning will just put Ousmane in an uncomfortable situation.
It's like asking a guy who doesn't know how to swim to help a guy who is drowning.
✔ And last but not least, is the mutual respect between Barcelona and Liverpool. The latter had announced Coutinho is injured just to let him deal with his future at the club without caring about the games. It would be low from Barça to play Coutinho since the start, it'd mean he wasn't injured like LFC announced. So Barça preserved the fake injury news LFC started. I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the deal also.
Bartomeu took the right decision by not playing Coutinho right away.

Lol. Still doesn't take away the possibilities of what amamahdaniel wrote up there. That was insightful. I wondered why he wasn't revealed with a number to his name. Imagine if he's to wear 14 and then Arda Turan leaves. The number 7 jersey will be vacant. How can a jersey number 7 be vacant in a team like Barcelona? Why not just wait and give it to him instead.

amamahdaniel these are very good analysis and in as much as I don't know much about this deal in question, you could be very correct. It was the same way Liverpool said Coutinho was injured only for him to feature for Brazil.

How many Madrid fans have you talked to about this? I'm sure they're not more than 10.
Yet you comfortably say "most".
And, what is Cristiano Ronaldo's business with a Barcelona transfer that you had to start insulting him on the thread?
Did you also meet him to ask if he was angry about the transfer?
The thread was simple, why did you have bring up another medium for hate to flourish? For what reason should the name "Ronaldo" be on this thread?
