Eagle-eyed Liverpool Fans Spot Something Very Suspicious About Philippe Coutinho's Barcelona Announcement Video
Philippe Coutinho has put pen to paper on a five-and-a-half year deal at Barcelona after the Catalan club coughed up £142million for his services.
The deal was a long time in the making, with the La Liga giants attempting to land the Brazilian over the summer, and Liverpool continually rejecting their offers.
But this January the deal crossed the line, much to the relief of Barcelona, and Coutinho, who was desperate to make the transfer happen.
In celebration, Barcelona did what every modern football club does these days by announcing the news in a rather fancy way on social media.

The club's official Twitter account uploaded two short videos; one showing former Brazilian's who have played for Barcelona - Rivaldo and Ronaldinho for instance - scoring goals and being altogether brilliant.
The other showed the club 'liking' and following Coutinho's three main social media accounts - his Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.
Fans around the world tuned into the short clip, but some eagle-eyed ones noticed something rather suspicious about the Facebook section of the video.
Looking down from the cursor - which spends the entire video at the top to click the 'like' button of the Facebook page - you can see Coutinho's posts.

And the one at the very top of his newsfeed - i.e. the last one posted by the Brazilian playmaker - is dated August 8.
Now this doesn't seem particularly odd on the surface, but if you click on Coutinho's Facebook page now you will see that he has posted three times since on September 15, November 9, and most recently on December 9.

This therefore means that the video was created sometime between August 8 and September 15 - in the summer when Barcelona were pursuing the 25-year-old.
And well, Liverpool supporters aren't pleased by the confidence the La Liga club had in getting the deal for the Brazilian over the line.
