Joao Cancelo | Al Hilal Player

Is it confirmed they pay his full wages?
Seems a shit deal when Saudi was preferred option

Looks like we don't pay any of his wages, which is the main thing. Barcelona pay 75%, he took a 25% pay cut according to reports.

No loan fee and no obligation to buy, as the moaner-moaners were proclaiming. But overall, he has been shifted and isn't costing us anything other than a drop in transfer value.

Saudi was only ever an option if he wanted to go there. Who knows what'll happen next season, after he ticks another league off the list.

Stephen Ireland sure could pick a pass, he and Robinho were a real force for a few months.

Hughes certainly got the best out of Ireland in 2008,/9 but ended up being a one season wonder.

how can Barca keep adding to their wage bill?! They are picking up Cancelo`s full wage which i would imagine is £200,000 a week and then Felix as well?

Cancelo taking a pay cut was trumpeted all over here yesterday - sometimes I suspect you post stuff you know will provoke replies ;-)

What a horrible bastard he was.

I took my son and daughter to watch training at Carrington when Keegan was manager. You could actually stand at the side of the training pitch and then wait near the players car park afterwards to get autographs. Keegan and all the players engaged with supporters except Mills who came out with a sneer on his face and ignored everyone whilst going to his car.

That attitude was probably conditioned by months of walking to his car and no one asking for his autograph - he was the epitome of a Charlie big bollocks - thought he was the big I am - whilst the fan base could see him for the limited footballer with a shocking attitude that he actually was. Hearing him now in commentary you could Be lulled by his arrogance into thinking he was some sort of Maldini or Baresi standard of defender rather than actually more resembling the donkey from Shrek.

At this rate just give him a free transfer and get rid for good. No one wants to buy him apart from a Saudi offer.

Nope then he'd get a huge signing on fee all for himself.

How many months we giving it until the leaks of him being pissed off at not playing every game?

Glad he's gone, great talent but he will be back stinking the place up next Summer no doubt.

We have literally done Barca a favour here.

Ask Bayern fans if we did them a favour last season.

How about you just tell us what they think.

I wouldn't have thought they didn't think they got a gread deal for 6 months.
