Philippe Coutinho has joined Barcelona, as expected, but why did the Spanish club make it happen now instead of waiting until the summer?

Meanwhile today is a historic day for English football, which is introducing Video Assistant Refereeing for the first time in tonight’s FA Cup match, but the way they are doing it looks all wrong to Ken.
