Money makes the football world go around, but spending big doesn't always guarantee success.

Sometimes quality players prove incapable of living up to their lofty transfer fees.

 injured, Griezmann has had to play in midfield - and it has been a rousing success.

He's assisted three goals, created 17 chances, including six big chances - all tournament highs. 

"A shame we didn't see Griezmann at his best when he was a Barca player. He is having a sensational World Cup" - some 

: "You didn't see him at his best because he played in every position except the position he prefers"

: "Was misused at Barcelona, especially under Koeman… he looks reinvented for France".

: "Honestly speaking, it's messi who low-key hindered griezmann's capabilities to the fullest. They have similar role as no. 10, but you can't have two in the same game so one shall be "sacrificed" and it's griezmann. Had he come after 

: "He’s killing it in this free role but that spot was locked up by messi … buying him just wasn’t smart he was wasted for the majority of his stay"

: "We didn't see, because he was not playing in his preferred position (No. 10). While Messi was there, it was simply a waste of money to sign him".

: "It’s all about the system he’s in. It’s not like he’s been elite at Atletico this season. He fits in perfectly with France. We just didn’t need a player of his profile when we already had Messi"

What's happening to Philippe Coutinho? Answered

; however, his career is still having a sharp decline.

This season, the 30-year-old is no longer a regular starter for the Lions. He mostly enters the pitch from the bench and rarely makes any significant impact on the team's play.

In fact, Coutinho is yet to register a single goal contribution this season.

"Philippe is working in training with a humility that is difficult to assume for a player of his level, I see Coutinho as an important value. We'll try to help Philippe to bring out his best again here at Villa,"

Coutinho is just a flop😩💔...

even Dembele is a flop sef ..just dat Dembele is inform dis season

Anthony Rodrigo

a food footballer is supposed to be an all rounder skilful player.I recalled most times messi doesn't play and he ll still perform below per....even when given a free roll.  most times he alwsy pass d ball backward instead of playing forward while he was in barca.what u dnt know is,barca is a team where u ll shine in some teams,but when it comes to barca u flop and u feel inferior due to plenty of stars....barca is a team u dnt just come in and believe u cud just be a starter....when neymar came in,he blended in even when his purchase was not as much as friezy own...to me griezy is a flop.

stephonab

coutinho and greizeman are the worst transfer flop for Barcelona.

E Jobe

Nаdine, laffs.....d most painful one to me is couthino,griezman.......Dembele cud still pay his due and he is picking up...but those 2 players couthy and griezy.....I hate it to d core....but life goes on....my club still exist....forca barca

Is not Coutinho but Zalanta is the first flop under Pep

Ndubuisi Karma

zlatan's case was also as a result of the face-off between him and the coach

Nicky

Zlatan was just a case like Mourinho and Casillas, played well but didnt get along with Pep so I dont see him as a flop
