I actually find Chievo to be a great spot for Coutinho. Looking at their current roster, they don't have a true number 10 on staff. Luciano is ancient and Gelson Fernandes and Constant aren't exactly racking up assists (2 & 3). They only allowed 40 goals last season, forth in the league behind Milan (24) and Lazio/Napoli(39). Yet they only scored 38, with Pellissier scoring 11 and assisting 5. It is obvious the Chievo is in need of a creative force other than Pellissier and this is a great opportunity for Coutinho to put some work in. The lack of goals scored on Chievo show me that they are disciplined throughout the squad, thus Coutinho will learn defensive responsibilities unless he is given a pass to move around freely.
