Paulinho

[xxxxxx]

I'm surprised we're even getting anything over 20m for him.

 

[JamDav1982]

Predicted he would go back to China for decent money when he arrived but thought it would be after a couple seasons and not for a profit.

Good business if happens.

 

[FC433]

Why would he want to go back? That a bit surprising.

 

[FCBfan22]

He was Robert's signing. Now with Robert gone, he's discardable.

FFS buying a near 30 year old for China and selling him for 10m profit back to China a year later. What business.

Barcaforum transfer gurus right now:

Indispensable member of the first team. There is no replacement for the qualities he brings to the team. I would rather offload Busi before him.

 

[FC433]

If he does indeed leave, I am quite sure that we will get another CM and an attacker (LW, ST or RW). Arthur, Lenglet and two new players (CM = Rabiot? + attacker) + a GK if we sell JC.

ESPN Brazil claims he will be making around 14 million euros once he goes back to China.

 

[Givenchy]

one of the strangest transfers I've ever seen.

Not really. There was always a decent chance he heads back to Chinese league and was the best player there before he left.

But he won us the game against Getafe and made 10 million profit.

All hail the Chinese Dragon.

I meant him coming here in the first place

 

[Devils]

I wonder who we are going to buy...

We're losing two experienced players (Iniesta and Paulinho) and Gomes (no big loss), but no way the only midfield additions will be just Arthur and Alena. Too much risk.
