Paulinho

Sad times

 

[Vilarrubi]

Would have preferred sale.. not sure how this is positive unless there's a definite sale at the end of it.

Paulinho hasn't been perfect for us, but certainly better than other options off the bench recently and a different type of player.

 

[Joan]

apparently they "loaned" him so they can bypass the 100% foreign tax rule

So we get 50m?

 

[FC433]

I am a bit sad. I absolutely want to sell him, but I will miss him and his character. Best of luck.

 

[FCBfan22]

Bye. Arrived, scored some goals and left.

Good luck, Paulinho.

There's a buy option in that Loan.

Makes me wonder if they are trying to get around the tax thing in China in this deal.

 

[FCBfan22]

It's a purchase OPTION.

 

[Joan]

Purchase option

Now we'll keep Mina

 

[Icarium]

No 50m then? Sucks. But more chances for Arthur.

 

[FC433]

The payment will be paid in January according to some reports.

 

[Devils]

I’m seeing conflicting reports. Some say it is an option to purchase, others say it is mandatory purchase.

 

[Catta]

Why only a loan, our idiotic board couldn't get money for Messi if they tried to sell him

OJO saying Barça haven’t accepted anything yet and want to make the player a sale not a loan option hence why no official announcement has been made from Barça.

 

[xXKonan]

Gerard Romero claims that we didn't accept the deal as we want an outright purchase and not a loan but Guangzhou still announced it anyway.

Sounds like someone may have.

Haha 'Jump the Shark' is not the right saying here.

'Jumped the gun' would be though.
