Gary Neville is enjoying stories that Philippe Coutinho is going on strike in a bid to force a move to Barcelona this January transfer window.
With the start of the year comes more transfer speculation involving Liverpool's best player and Barca are at the centre of it again after a summer spent flirting with the Brazilian playmaker.

Liverpool managed to stave off the interest from the La Liga giants, but they'll be tested again this month with all speculation linking them with another move for Coutinho.
And it appears he may struggle to deal with that again, with some saying that he's going on strike in an effort to force a switch to Barcelona before the month is out.
That's according to Portuguese journalist Marcus Alves:
Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher gave his view this morning on what the best scenario would be involving Coutinho - and it didn't involve a strike of any sort
As much as Carragher makes a few great points, Neville couldn't resist poking some fun at him after reading about Coutinho going on strike.

Not to mention his 'lovely story' on the matter.

Liverpool play against Everton on Friday night and fans will be hoping that this story isn't true so he can line up in that game.
That being said, Coutinho missed out on the win against Burnley earlier this week through injury so he may sit the derby clash out through injury rather than any strike.
