23 - Jules Kounde

[Birdy]

Braith and Memphis could do?
If one is paid out and other goes to Juve?

The shameless worm will not leave.

Memphis alone charges 10m gross, half of what we want for Kounde.

Pique's salary reduction is key, because he would charge 52m (!) gross on the books this season.
Kounde, Marcos Alonso, and Bernardo could all be registered from Pique's salary alone if we are really into 1:1 rule and Tebas is not playing around

 

[Raketa10]

How much more do we need to free up in order to register him?

 

[Catta]

Pjanic will take a reduction or be sold. Memphis or Auba will leave. Frenkie and Dest are for sale. Maybe Umtiti also leaves, he even lost his squad number. Only the leech Braithwaite wont leave.

So Kounde should not be a problem. He will get registered for sure. Maybe we could even get Bernardo if we sell all of the deadwood.

 

[DonAK]

it's 20m or so, cauz amortization is included in the annual wage bill

true

Add Alonso to that list also, we also need to register him.

 

[DonAK]

I assume they'll find an agreement with Pique over the weekend which will allow for Kounde and Alonso to be registered pretty easily.

 

[Catta]

Add Alonso to that list also, we also need to register him.

Really hope we don't waste our money on Alonso. Just don't see anything positive in the deal to get him.

Alonso is happening. And he is btter than Alba. Its a good signing.

 

[serghei]

Can Alonso play RB?

 

[Raketa10]

Can Alonso play RB?

Nope

 

[khaled_a_d]

Can Alonso play RB?

Sarcastic?

 

[serghei]

Sarcastic?

A little bit.

 

[FCMessi]

Blessed Barca rejects, save Kounde

How much more do we need to free up in order to register him?

11.5 million, which is Kounde's offered annual salary. That is by 1:1 SRFF rules. What a world are we living these days. S.Umtiti will get 6.250 million for another 4 years without playing a single minute and someone like Kounde will get 11.460,000. There should be a base pay like 1 mil. a year for players who have not participated in at least 25% of the games, either because of endless injuries or just being not good enough to get playtime.

I'm not sure what the answer is but yeah something has to change in football in that regard. With the pandemic financially fucking many clubs you'd think they would propose something.
