It isn't just about his wage.... he also cost 120m euros. He's also 30 now, so he's more than likely going to decline pretty soon, so his valuation is going to drop a lot within the next year or 2. Griezmann won't be going anywhere anytime soon due to his 800k a week wages.

I'm willing to bet most of Griezmann's assists and goals have been against the bad teams. Players like Griezmann and Dembele get exposed against the better teams.

Not really. When players like Coutinho are going for 145m plus..... then Haaland is easily worth more. Besides, Mbappe went for 180m a few years back. They should demand as much as they can before the release clause becomes active. I think they would rather take a risk of losing him next season...

That's what I'm saying. They can't sign Messi without breaking the rules. Clubs need to balance football-related expenditure - transfers and wages - with television and ticket income, plus revenues raised by their commercial departments. Money spent on stadiums, training facilities, youth...

I think PSG would rather lose him for nothing next season than lose him this summer. Besides, Real Madrid can't afford to spend 150m. They're trying to cut down their wage bill, so I highly doubt they have much money to spend.

How is PSG going to afford Messi without breaking the FFP rules? It's literally impossible unless they sell either Mbappe or Neymar. Belcher is literally unreliable these days. He was claiming Messi would choose City if he were to leave 4 months back, but now he's saying they're not...

He wants to win the Champions League. He isn't going to do it with a bunch of youngsters and average players. Besides, he's 34 next season, so it's going to be hard for him to keep putting in them consistent top performances. We may have played better tonight, but our squad needs a complete...

The problem for Messi is he's still surrounded by too many average players. It's going to take too much money and time to make this team actual Champions League contenders.... and he really doesn't have time. Players like Dembele, Grizemann and Coutinho are not good enough. Plus, it's going to...

They weren't pressing at all. We had 73% possession in the first half. There is no way PSG allows that amount of possession normally at home. They were clearly playing it safe and didn't want to risk pressing to leave space at the back. In the first leg, they were actually pressing us and...

It did look like that. You noticed they were just defending the whole game and not even pressing as they did in the first leg? Seems as they were playing it safe and didn't want to risk a comeback.

This was a weird one for PSG. I think they were just happy with the scoreline in the first game, which is why we were allowed so much possession. They looked confused on whether to attack or defend the whole game. But I did state after we lost in the first game that I didn't think PSG was that...

I forgot he was playing. He always goes into hiding against the decent teams.

An average player with good pace.

That wasn't stating a fact. That was an assumption.

Please bring up those 5 posts. But we are in terrible debt. We have 700m of short-term debt. 420m of which has to be paid back by the end of the year. We have to reduce the wage bill, not add to it. Players like Alaba would no doubt add to the wage bill and put us in more debt, especially with...

I'm stating facts but you're getting offended by it? You're right. Let me pretend that we actually have a chance of signing the likes of Mbappe, Alaba and Haaland with our current debt. Our finances are suddenly amazing now that Laporta has taken over. I'm sorry you're getting offended by...

Larsson never had a salary of 250k a week and was never injured as Aguero has been. It's risky, considering we can't afford to start throwing big wages on injury-prone players.

It's never going to happen. He'll want about 300k a week. He'd also want a big signing-on fee. I heard he's close to joining Real Madrid in any case.

I would rather we sold Busquets and Pique if I'm being honest. They've been on a massive decline for the past 2 years. Alba can stay. He's still decent and actually has played well this season. But I'm afraid we'll keep them due to having no money.

His contract doesn't run out till 2024. Another masterstroke from Barotmeu by giving him 800k a week over 5 years.
