Has this guy contributed anything att all since he was brought in from Liverpool? It has to be the worst transfer in history when accounting for the cost to performance ratio, Daglish signing of Andy Carrol is also up there. This is easily the worst transfer Barcelona has ever done, Arda was a big fiasco but he did not cost even 1/3 of what Coutinho has cost and Coutinhos wage is more the 3 times higher also. Coutinho so far has cost FC Barcelona 260 million euros, 160 in transfer and 100 million euros in wages and still he has another season left. Arda cost 40 in transfer and 40 in wages, at 80 million I actually think Arda was a better deal that the 260+ million Coutinho.
I mean think about this, Coutinho has played 90 matches for 260 million euros, that is almost 3 million euro per game, Arda was only 80 million for 55 matches, even Messi when you look at his entire career is less than 2 million euros per game, and he has atleast earned his salary.
