Umm... what currency do you use here (and did you use in previous transfer threads)? Pounds? Euros?

Last year...

Philippe Coutinho - Liverpool to Barcelona (142m)
Virgil Van Dijk - Southampton to Liverpool (75m)

People seem to love the Van Dijk transfer. How is Coutinho doing at Barcelona?

[Jezza]

^ Pound.

Here's a short review of Coutinho's first year with Barcelona.

Thanks for the link, Jezza.

"Coutinho joined for 120 million euros, plus a further 40 million in variables..."

I wonder what "variables" means.

Very sad outcome, but glad his body was found for the sake of his family having closure.

Just hope they can locate the pilot who is still missing.

[K]

'His body was recovered from the wreckage last week, while pilot David Ibbotson has yet to be found.
...

"If we are contractually obliged to pay them then of course we will. We are an honourable club," Dalman told the BBC.

"But if we are not - and there are some anomalies in that - then surely you would expect me as the chairman and guardian of this club's interests to look into that and hold our position. That is what we are doing.

"We are still in the process of gathering information and that process will be ongoing. And when we reach a level where we have enough information, I am sure we will sit down with Nantes and move forward." '

Cardiff may sue Nantes for negligence over Sala (Telegraph, London)

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/soccer/ ... 50yby.html

"Cardiff have frozen all payments while they wait for answers about how their record signing died and whether anyone could be held liable. Some of those answers could be provided this week, the Air Accidents Investigations Bureau having said it intended to publish an interim report into the January 21 crash within a month of it occurring.

Cardiff have also conducted an internal investigation that The Telegraph has been told has found no evidence pilot David Ibbotson held the licence necessary to carry passengers on a commercial basis.

If the AAIB confirms Ibbotson was not qualified for the trip, senior figures believe that would constitute negligence on the part of whoever recruited the part-time gas boiler engineer.

They also believe liability for that could be extended to cover Willie and Mark McKay - who admitted arranging Sala's flight but not selecting the plane or pilot - and, in turn, Nantes, for whom the duo had been working.

A successful negligence claim against the French club would slash the transfer fee owed to them for the player, where they have threatened legal action.

Cardiff could attempt to reduce the figure further by arguing the change of ownership of Sala was incomplete when he died as he had yet to be registered to play in the Premier League."


Update:

Cardiff's Sala deal is invalid, claim lawyers (Telegraph, London)

https://www.theage.com.au/sport/soccer/ ... 50z9w.html

"Lawyers working on behalf of the Premier League have written to the Welsh club this week confirming that their record signing was not fully registered to play in the competition last month.
...

It is understood Sala's Cardiff contract was deemed non-compliant with Premier League rules and was returned to them for him to sign an amended one.

Neither the club nor the league would comment last night on the nature of the discrepancies, though it is understood that such issues are not uncommon.

Cardiff plan to use Sala's Premier League registration status to argue he was not their player when he died a month ago."
