Supposed reliable people are saying Saul to Barca for Griezmann in exchange is being discussed. Could very much see that as a cook the books special, a la Arthur for Pjanic.

Yeah, even taking on Sauls 200k plus wages saves them nearly 500k a week. How do you justify giving Griezman 750k a week. Mind you I'm sure he will want a massive payoff.

Looking at the state of Barcelona's books it going to take a lot more than that to sort them out!

Griezmann would be the perfect fit for us, but he’s not coming to England.

Does he ? Mo must earn quite a bit, as well , doesn’h he ?

There's loads of different stuff out there suggesting anything from 400k per week to about 800k per week. Mo is on 200, mane and firmino a bit less. 

 

Iirc, Barca tried to back out of the deal after they realised they couldn't afford him, but couldn't and it was too late. 

 

Edit ... And an interesting story that hasn't hit the mainstream press over here, I assume as there's no time after saying football is coming home about a billion times. https://www.sportspromedia.com/news/antoine-griezmann-konami-endorsement-terminated-dembele-video

Coutinho's agent must be shit at negotiating as he is their most expensive player but not high up on their wage list.

I remember reading that he was willing to take a wage cut to join them.

 

The fact they needed to pay us so much meant they had the opportunity to balance that out on his salary, I suppose.

Was made up when we signed Kewell. Leeds were wanting double for him, I think and he looked a good player.


He was a very, very good player at Leeds. His injury record was never great though and there is no doubting he was always a bit of a fanny. 
 

He started really well for us as well. He scored like 12 goals or something before Xmas.

 

Then he lost all ability to run.
