Paulinho

[FC433]

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.

The ideal combination would be three experienced players and three new ones + 1 additional versatile CM

I think we should be fine with these as experienced/ established CMs:

Coutinho Busquets Rakitic, and Alena Samper Arthur + Roberto. But in this case, we must get a new attacker. Alternatively, we move Coutinho to the LW and get a new experienced/ established CM.

I personally would choose whatever is available in the market and play Coutinho in the other needed position.

Willian/ Pavon/ Lozano or Rabiot/ Milinković-Savić according to the reports. Pjanić and Thiago's rumours were denied.

Good business if happens, but I'd rather keep him.

 

[BADGERBHOY]

Can't believe this is actually happening.

To say I'm delighted is an understatement

Just hope the club expected this Paulinho transfer to happen for awhile and has been planning potential midfield signings.

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.

I'm eating lunch while watching the world cup and this post damn near killed me.

wildness.

 

[soul24rage]

if he does leave, shame he couldn't win the CL with us. If we did, then Paulinho would have won the CL in 3 different continents. That would have been an unbelievable achievement.

 

[FC433]

Paulinho says that he got two offers, one from China and the other from Europe. Has not decided yet and he will go back to Barcelona tomorrow to talk to his agent. He also does not rule out staying.

 

[Luftstalag14]

It is not like they are going to pay his buy-out, therefore the decision whether he stays or not is not his, rather it is the club’s, right? Personally I’d like him to stay.

The dragon will return to the land of Shaolin.

[Flavius]

I think he played for Barca better than expected. Wish him good luck.
