Coutinho scores a hat-trick and delivers a man of the match performance for Brazil at the Copa America.
Great.
That'll ward off the potential suitors...
He's been absolutely dominant for Brazil lately and if their strikers could finish, he'd have a whole bunch of assists too. It's awful to say but I kinda wanted him to fail in the Copa America so we didn't lose him...
The thing is, not only will it attract other clubs, it'll give him the (false?) confidence to think he could realistically get in to Barca's side for instance. We all know Coutinho is too inconsistent to move to a big side just yet. Similarly to Suarez, I think he's really benefit from one more season with us.
Spurs have been able to keep Lloris when we all expected such a good keeper to be snatched up. Perhaps it's a little harder to keep a South American, but we have the finances and the manager to give it a good go.
EDIT: Just seen his goals - one was a tap in and the other two were fantastic strikes, but in fairness they were against Haiti who got thumped 7-1.
Think it's today that every Premier League club submits the list of players released from their contracts. We know Enrique, Sinclair, Rossiter, Trickett-Smith and Cleary have been let go, reports say Teixeira, Toure and Yesil will join them.

I think the likes of Vigoroux and Joe Maguire maybe, too. The former is 22, and the latter is 20. You can probably lump O'Hanlon in with that duo, too.

Toure and Texiera are released. According to Echo, Texiera was offered a new contract but wanted regular football - correct decision on his age.
