Right up their street. Another player on huge wages who will down tools and cost them a fortune. I’m all for it
Well he appears to be another player who is in the most part money motivated. He's got ability for sure but if they can agree his wages I think I don't think he cares who the team is.

Numbers, numbers everywhere. All that's missing is Rachel Riley. Where are all these figures being plucked from ??

Vlahovic supposedly 350k wasn't it, Dembele now 600k

Johnny Ball...Think of a number. :LOL:

Such an ill disciplined not just a player but as a person. When he left Dortmund for Barca, he vacated his house - his house condition was so bad, his German landlord sued him & got 10k Euros basically saying, there were rubbish allover the apartment every room and didnt even had the decency to clean them on vacating.
Not defending him on this but he was a 19 year old. Pretty sure we all did stupid shit like this at that age and he's probably been too sheltered to know any better. Having worked in the UK rentals business in the past you'd be surprised how many tenants don't clean on vacating as they just assume it will be taken from the deposit regardless. We all know how quickly signings can happen, it could just be a case that one day he's a dortmund player and next day he's on his way to Barca and doesn't go back to the house. Messi lived for 6 months in a hotel in Barca when he arrived, the move happened too quickly for him to sort our proper accommodation. On a side note you can rent out the "Messi Suite" at that hotel at a surprisingly affordable rate.

Not making excuses for him, sounds like a shitty thing to do, but not sure this is the best example of poor attitude or discipline. I'd much rather judge him based on poor discipline on the pitch or in training, which may also be the case.

And if that's true he isn't leaving Barca now regardless of what they say.
Given the fact that he's only started 58 of a possible 172 matches in La Liga since joining Barca, I'd be surprised if any sane club would be willing to match his current £300k pw wages - let alone double them.

Do it, instant upgrade in wide areas and finally a wide player that can dribble.

Barca made him injury prone and are trying (and succeeding) to make him look like the bad guy.

I wouldn't want him to be honest. I think remaining fit is an understated pivotal trait of a player and it's certainly one that he doesn't have.

Anti-Asian racist, mercenary, permanently injured knobhead who thinks he's better than he is. Not what we want or need.

I won't ever forgive him for messing up those two chances at the end of the first semi final leg between Barcelona and Liverpool.
Who knows if we had won the final, but at the very least we would've had a different game.

Yes, let's get another moody, lazy player with the added super powers of injury proneness and zero end product - as if we don't have enough of those.

Amazing talent but injury prone and with a very questionable attitude.

We can’t afford to take risks at the kind of wages he wants.

OK....

Would rather Traore personally. May not be as talented, but meant to be a beast of a trainer with a great attitude

This guy would be too much of a risk

Pretty amazing Barca spent over 400M on this guy, Coutinho and Greizeman. No wonder they are bankrupt.

Injury prone and does not seem to have a strong mentality.

We don’t need anymore players like that at spurs lol.
