Paulinho

[Vilarrubi]

I'm trying my hardest to find something, some reason why we would buy this guy, age, wages, league aside and there is literally nothing.

He lacks creativity, not too good defensively just an average all rounder.. which we don't need and have about 5 of for the midfield position already.

We needed a deep playing midfielder like Verratti or Eriksen to take on that Xavi role... and a creative CM to take over the Iniesta role.

I see nothing here but corruption.

Cheers to everyone on here who supported this board throughout the years while they slandered Cruyff, slandered Laporta, slandered Pep, betrayed Abidal's trust, kept signing mediocre players, had board members who publicly made negative comments about Messi, and yesterday Pique.

Cheers to all of them.

Pop some champagne tonight to celebrate it. You know who you are.

All the reports say 5m net, which is roughly 10m gross per year. 4 year contract. Thats another 40m down the drain.

I don't know if it's that much.

More than Arda on 4m.

Club itself?, He means valverde.
Plus my 80 year old grandmother has more credibility than Rafael Hernández.

We only spent 32.5m on him.

Bargain deal.

Nice President:"Seri has €40m clause. If a club offers €40m tomorrow, he'll go."

And we've signed a Chinese porn enthusiast.

Great.

But why would he spend his own money?

Because Barca were not willing to meet the buyout clause? They bid a few times on him already and was rejected. In the end he decided he would just help pay out his contract.

Més que un club!

No, what they mean is that he took a paycut of a total of 7.5 millions through the 4 year duration of his contract.

If Barca actually manage to win something, he'll get all and more back through bonuses anyway.

So...silver lining? The club wasn't quite so retarded to pay his buyout. Just a little less retarded.
