Problem is, they likely won't.

The timing is especially bad if they don't. No chance of winning UCL without him/like replacement and top 4 will be much more difficult.

Without that qualification, they won't be able to attract a replacement.

They are already a better team with VVD.

Mahrez would be an ideal replacement for half the price of Lemar. Leaving them with plenty of cash in the summer for a keeper and squad depth.

The timing for Coutinho is odd.

He's the one who forced this move. He can't play in the UCL, so why not wait till summer?
If they can get Lemar and/or Mahrez this window, I'll be fine with the move.
Maybe his wife couldn't wait to get to Spain. *

Get Lemar

And more midfield help. That would seal top 4, I think. Especially the way United and Chelsea have looked.
