Deco and Flick know better.No 'Deco-Flick know better' comments yet? I am dissapoint.
Good news.The reports are that the new contract is 50% from the old one, so he will be getting 6 mil instead of 12. Also there is a mutual contract termination clause for the last year.
And for ffp, it gives us +6m. I really doubt somebody would have signed him for a 6m fee from us. So it was the best the club could have done in terms of ffp.We couldn't have gone any lower, since a 50% reduction is the maximum you can go (according from the Messi days), so I guess we've done as okay as we could there. Now if only he'd stay fit at least 50% of the time...so i'd actually be worth it. If he has another 20% or less appearance season, I could see that unilateral termination next summer anyway.
And the jokes writes itself.
Not 1+1, but 2 years straight way
Yeah, no... some players just don't work at specific clubs. He is something between FDJ and Dembélé.
Injury-wise he is even worse than FDJ. In terms of performances he is the decade of dominance that never started at this club.
How can you count on a guy like him? He is always injured when it matters. When Barça needed him against Inter, he didn't play. Last season? He was back from his injury or recovery when La Liga was won and CL was game over.
