Wait, why did you mention the transfer fee like it's supposed to be a justification of why they are not the same? Transfer fee should be an altogether different topic.
Owen forced his transfer, did Coutinho not? All the back pains that magically healed once he has the sunshine of Catalonia?
I will thank Coutinho for the team we have today, as a backhanded compliment. If you thank Coutinho sincerely, you should thank Qatar, PSG and Neymar too, since they are what ultimately fund the transfer of Alisson & Virgil?
Thanking PSG is too far anyway. If he stayed on, I wouldn't be sure if we can win the CL or not. On his day, his goals are amazing. But his inconsistencies caused us games as well. As such, even if he left, it wouldn't hurt us as much. And when he gave us a chance to compete in the market for a GK and a CB, I won't complain at all. Also, he signed a new contract the year before, knowing well that he will leave soon, since the Suarez saga. But he signed it, gave us a chance for 142mil. Why still condemn? To me, no players are bigger than the club. And if he can give us 142mil, he should be given the red carpet. I'd be fair to him. He left chasing his dream, and left us with a war chest. Fair and square. Win-win. And did we gain from it? Yes another 120mil for winning CL. And 100mil plus for getting 2nd place in EPL. 220mil war chest next season.
Will u rather have Coutinho in attack, and Lovren + Karius in defensive position, OR having Alisson + VVD in defensive, and Mane in attacking? I'd choose the Alisson + VVD + Mane instead. Yes he left us in January, got us scrambling, but in Klopp we trust.
As people like Owen, we needed him. He was our main striker. But he chose to leave, knowing Liverpool will get nothing out of his transfer fee. He's effectively a scum, an asshole taking opportunity of his short contract, something De Gea is doing to ManU this season. If Owen would have signed a new deal and left at 30mil the next season, I would have given him the red carpet too. 30mil was big that time and could have given us time for a huge striker.

transfer fees different between scum and Coutinho is because of the contract length. Coutinho signed a 5 years contract in Jan 17 while scum only have 1 years left in his contract. LFC wouldnt want to repeat the same mistake with McManaman case that why LFC were force to sell him at that price.
Coutinho wanted to leave, and he still signed the new deal. Especially when Suarez is already leaving, he knew his turn will come. But he still signed it. At least it gave us a chance to get the 142mil.
