It’s reported that Barcelona have some pretty hefty financial troubles and are looking to offload a number of players
Supposedly the list is around 9 long as they look to strengthen and lower the wage bill.
Some of the reported players include Antoine Griezmann, Philippe Coutinho and Ousmane Dembele.
Are there any Barcelona players that Spurs could afford that you would take?

I was reading the other day that Wolves' new signing Trincao went from earning £4k a week at Braga to £140k a week at Barcelona.
Its no wonder they are in trouble. I just hope their board can do my next pay review.

Barca's crazy wages will prevent many moving on.
If there were some economically viable way of getting Griezmann then he would be a great Kane replacement, but cannot see how it would be possible unless it was a Bale style loan.

Barcelona are threatening to take the players to court if they don’t reduce their wages, the club is in a right mess
They can hardly justify it after making new signings, Messi is classed as a new signing in theory so the players can argue that

Can't see how that will work as the players have contracts guaranteeing those wages. All it will achieve is to add costs & legal fees to the total debt. Peanuts I know but still taking the proverbial.
You reap what you sow and after years of enticing the best players in the world with outrageous wages they are now seeing the results of their mismanagement and deserve to go to the wall.
They have benefitted for too long from state bailouts and now need to be held accountable, same with RM, detestable clubs.

They'll be alright. Messi has already agreed to halve his wages, which were a large part of the problem (£1m a week). They'll probably shift Griezmann too and those two alone will keep them afloat. They've also made some decent free signings (Depay alone will be a better replacement for Griezmann, and he'll cost less in wages). Aguero will score goals, Garcia will be more reliable than Lenglet and they have some good youth coming through.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
They still need to reduce their wage bill a lot, it’s currently £579 and they have to get it down to £138 under La Liga laws

Wow, didn't realise it was that much
I retract my earlier comment then.

Griezman is one of the most over rated players out there.
He is reportedly on about £38m a year He hasnt even managed 1:3 goal scoring ratio.
He will never take a pay cut and no one will ever pay those wages, so good luck getting rid Barca. If he goes it will be like the Bale deal to Spurs. On loan or free with them paying 2/3 of his wages

Dembele is horrifically injury prone. Good player but every match you watch him in would be through fingers over the eyes.

It's alright, they already do that for Kane

Surprised we snuck and took one of their highest rated players in Trincao a few weeks ago for only 25mill after the loan.

If you could get Griezmann you guys should use the Kane money for him.
Kane for £160 million.
Ings £30 million
Griezmann £90 million
Coady £40 million
----------------------------------------------------------------------
£40 million of Coady would be a great deal. Lets get it done.

Seconded
