Philippe Coutinho, magic for Espanyol

I have been a surprise to learn that the RCD Espanyol has secured the services on loan until the end of the season, the Inter Milan player Philippe Coutinho. A great all-white movement to overcome the losses are having on the attack, Sergio Garcia, Alvaro Vázquez ... - and that will grow as much football as the aspirations of his new team.

With only 19, Coutinho is one of the players with the greatest international scene, if it is true that in recent months, growth has stalled. The presence of Sneijder, besides the good performance of another young player like Ricky Alvarez , you are blocking the way at Inter. Ranieri does not seem to rely too much on it, quite the opposite of Rafa Benitez. In the short but intense period of the Spanish coach on the bench of the Italians, Coutinho gave a leading role and he knew how to use it.

But as we say, the presence of the computer neraazzurri Coutinho has been decreasing, and the player has not been forced to seek an outlet in which to find minutes. London Olympics are just around the corner, and Coutinho wants to be a key part of the Brazilian team.

Coutinho arrives loan until June 30, and apparently there is an option for 8 million euros. Almost double what it cost to Inter in 2008, when he was 16 years and bought it to Basque da Gama. If the player is comfortable in the scheme display Pochettino and get the football, 8 million could be a bargain for a player of much future.

Besides Verdú and Weiss, will form a three-quarter line enviable quality offensive. Perhaps the presence of Verdú will score a band. On the left in particular has had to function in more than one occasion in their matches with Inter. However, despite its speed and overflow, its ideal position is the center midfielder, organizing and displaying his offensive game vision and technical quality. Play where you play, Cornella-El Prat takes a magic player, that at least for now, promises to be the big bomb of the winter market going into this second round.
