Especially weird considering these are transfer release fees we're talking about - i.e. it's not exactly like Benfica were going to push the price up if they knew Griezmann had already been sold.
Above all it is too high a rating for a boy who has not shown anything. And a bit like when Barcelona wasted Neymar's money paying Coutinho € 160 million and Dembele an exaggeration.
Is this gross or net spend?
Most likely gross, considering how much teams like Liverpool, United, Barcelona and Real Madrid have made from sales since 2009...
Mixture of having to build squad from scratch ( other teams with similar spending already had very good squads with world class players) and bad luck.
And fairly poor management on Pep's part like starting without De Bruyne AND Sane at Spurs for example, not just bad luck.
I think that the figures are officially indicated by the teams and therefore the net. They are clearly to be used as an indicator. They also do not take into account sales against purchases.
Blimey. Good luck to him!!
Hadnt De Bruyne just come back from an injury. Maybe wasnt fully fit. Why would he deliberately not start his best player?
Teams dont officially put out net spend. Sounds a silly thing to do.
Thank fuck. Now the plastics can all rest and enjoy the summer.
Fucking hell this is starting to become comical now. Fitting considering the drama-queen that the player they're fighting for is.
Kane's better!
