Maybe he will learn from the whole james thing.

Im just hoping someone else gets elected to president in my club next year

well, but we have to fully pay his salary, which is 13m after taxes... which means probably something around 26m pre-taxes in germany (only 17m in spain)
for comparison: our current top-salary is lewandowski with 16m, followed by neuer and müller with 15m - all of them are PRE-tax

unless the bosses made some sort of deal, that barca officially pays the salary in spain and bayern just send over those 17m to barca, that's a HUGE pricetag
and if we are going to buy him next year, he probably won't signt a contract that gives him less money after taxes

I think the salary part might be true, but on the other side Barca is asking "just" 120m, they bought him for a higher price.
Also heard that Lewas contract will be extended very soon, tbh he deserves a salary equal/more than Coutinho.

Isnt exactly true, i've read yesterday we've got him signed for roughly 100-110 mios (due to be paid in installments over a few years) and some bonuses which is unlikely for Liverfool to cash, like a 19 mio bonus for 100 matches or something and 6 mios if he wins the CL.

As for Lewa, although i have always rated him, i think he lost some of the magic he had at Dortmund, respectively best forward with his back to goal, but that is mainly due to him playing possesion football under pep, which didnt precisely suit him and afterwards bayern having only meh coaches (except jupp, but that was a 1 year fluke).

Still wish the best for Coutinho, hope he proves himself and his pricetag at Bayern. For 20 mio a year he's a complete steal.

Just 120 M for a benchwarmer?
Just 25M salary which is an increase in peak salary of 80% certainly leading to a good 20-30% overall increase (since other players will want a raise as well)
I see big trouble in signing coutinho long term but if that‘s cool for you, perfect

No. Contract has a buy clause on 120m euro.
There is no installments. Barca require full payment next year id they make use of the clause

I meant on Barcelona's payment to Liverpool.

My bad man, but yeah thats on installments.

Still pricey for barcelona even tho they pay it in rates.

But it was the best for coutinho and barca to get away.

Quality player 100% but he dosent fit in such a big club and the responsibillity that follows

Lets bring this topic up with following message:

Niko out!

Honestly, how daft is Hoeness?
