Paulinho

Chygo, Ibra, Cesc, Alexis. All flopped big signings during our golden era so this ain't new.

Still refuse to believe it though.

Ibra, Cesc both stars and Alexis a top talent back then who was doing very well in Italy. Even Chygrinsky was hyped after some UEFA Cup performances.

Paulinho is an average at best B2B midfielder who flopped in Europe and have been semi-retired in China.

At least those guys had something going their way.

To be fair to Zlatan, he had a decent goal tally for us though.

Sport says our final offer is 25+2.

Come on Guangzhou. Reject it!

By that logic, almost any garbage transfer can be defended though. We need to wise up. We cant afford more incoming garbage now. I hear some people arguing that we must buy old players looking for their last fat paycheck because we dont want to block the progress of our youth. There is no end to the levels some people are willing to defend the madness.

I hope we get him for that amount. Solid option coming on as a substitute. Better than what we have.

Not sure what that got to do with my post?

Ibra was World Class and so was Cesc who was arguably the best midfielder in the PL that time. Alexis one of the best talents in World Football at that time. The only outlier being Chyg who got a bit of hype and some Pep obsession.

I'm saying those players had the age, talent and performances on their side.

Paulinho is the complete opposite. 29 years old. Been mediocre to average most of his career. Flopped in Tottenham and been semi-retired in China for a some years.

At least those transfers had something going for them or could have been justified, had arguments for it back then.

Paulinho got none.

Sure, Ibra, Cesc and Alexis are different. Just saying people use those types of arguments for all our transfers. "Arda was world class in Atletico", "this player was talented over there", that guy is young, this guy is hyped, that guy plays for Brazil blablabla. Its not good enough. We have to look at how players FIT in our team, their REAL quality, getting hype is meaningless.

The club has signed some players that have not worked but you go on about it as if it is exclusive to Barca and ignore a lot of the transfers that have worked.

Everyone gets opinions on players wrong. Can remember quite a few shit names you have put forward as options as well. Based on hype most likely.

Our transfer policy sucks and that has been the case for years. You support whatever shit we do and brag that you were against Rakitic signing 3 years ago. Oh, I guess you now also dont support Paulinho transfer after you used the transfer as an example of how people are deliberately focusing on the worst transfer rumors to make the board look bad, right before it was announced from official sources that we have made bid for him. Paulinho is just the icing on the cake. No one is saying bad signings is exclusive to Barca. Thats something you make up because you cant accept that our transfer policy is terrible. Oh, and cheap low risk, high reward suggestions you might think are "shit" have very little impact on the financial stability of the club. Paulinho type transfers are beyond stupid.

Nah you are wrong.

Not supported a lot of the transfers in recent years so stop making things up again.

Have never supported the Paulinho transfer read back.

You go on about other people supporting players based on hype when you have been just as guilty of it.

Just come on here and respond with roughly the same post time and again not even relevant to points people are making.

Yes, you are constantly defending shit after shit we do. You cant support Paulinho transfer now obviously after you just used him as an example of how the forum is deliberately focusing on the most terrible rumors to make the board look bad. Then it turns out it was true all along and the incompetent board strikes again. Its just hilarious.

Haha you love to make things up.

I have never wanted Paulinho and held him and Cancelo being the only players signed as the worst of the rumours and those two being signed most likely wont happen. Nothing to with not wanting board to look bad but folk freaking out far too early.

Anyone with a brain can understand.

Never said you wanted Paulinho but you used his rumor as an example how the forum is deliberately focusing on the bad rumors and you dont like that it makes the board look like muppets. You obviously have to be consistent in your defense of the board and our activities. And you are consistent in your passionate defense for these clowns. I bet you are going to respond with some stuff about "look, see RM did bad transfer X there!".
