Barca loans out Paulinho

[Barcaman]

Chinese club Guangzhou Evergrande announced the loan of their former player and Brazilian international Paulinho (29).

Paulinho spent one year Barcelona where he won domestic double while featuring in 49 matches in Blaugrana shirt and marking 9 goals and 3 assists.

Financial details of the loan/transfer to follow.

Goodbye Chinese dragon!

Won't pretend I knew much about him when we decided to pay his release clause, but I've grown fond of him. Such a likable character. Managed to surprise a few, won the double, was extremely useful, earned his place in Brazil's 11 - now decided to go back to China.

Guess we'll have hard time finding his replacement.

All the best, Dragon!

No rest this summer too. Would be playing the game for 2 years without holidays now. Will be tough. But he seems determined and really loves Chinese league.

It's a loan.

Basically someone explain to me why he is being sold back to the same team when he was a fixture in the team and actually done well. Baffled? I am...

They are offering 50m for him a year on and he is not a nailed starter.

He did well enough and better than a lot expected but 50m for Paulinho at 30? Cant turn that down.

 

[BarcaOG]

why..

 

[JamDav1982]

why..

50 million reasons why.

It’s a great deal.. as long as we sell Gomes as well

 

[DonAK]

We wanted to spend 100m on Griezmann which we didn't end up doing. Will receive 50m for Paulinho. Hopefully 30m for Gomes from either Arsenal or Tottenham.

Can we a little more ambitious and make a proper power move that can help take us over the line in the CL?

 

[FC433]

^We have got plenty of money. Who do you think we should spend what we have got on?

I believe there are two positions that we need to reinforce and they are CM and LW. The issue is that there are not any good CMs and LWs that worth spending on. Maybe Eriksen?

There is also Dybala, but he does not fit our team nor M Savic.

 

[El Gato]

Hopefully 30m for Gomes from either Arsenal or Tottenham.

Are they actually after him? Seems completely unfit for purpose. He belongs somewhere like Monaco, Seville or Napoli.

 

[Barcaman]

We lost one of the few remaining players with some balls and muscle. Don't know what's the plan now but we better get some steel in.

 

[Luftstalag14]

How are we going to get 50m if it is a loan?
