PHILIPPE COUTINHO WANTS TO JOIN BARCELONA IN JANUARY.

I fail to understand Liverpool at all, whole through the summer transfer window , Barcelona made three bids to buy the Brazilian play maker Philippe Coutinho, from Liverpool, but Liverpool said that they had no desire what so ever to sell their best footballer, and they said that Barcelona should not harass Philippe Coutinho, they failed in a deal to buy him even on the very last day of the transfer window, as clubs in Spain closed a day later then in England. Now Liverpool themselves say that they are now ready to sell Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona in the January transfer window. So what was the need for all this drama and what not. They should have sold him in the summer transfer window. I wonder what ever is John Henry and Liverpool smoking at Anfield.
