Paulinho

If you shoot 10 times a game, you'll get one shot on target and sometimes score a good long-ranger.

Roberto is all that except for the muscle which I'm not sure why we need. In fact, Rakitic is all that as well.

Rakitic can play a more physical game. He got stamina and can cover defensively and got a good long shot.

Naaah, What he wrote is too sensible to be accepted.
It's funny this comes from a paper that is usually seen as against the current board.

So it's sensible for you to follow the Chinese league to know if a player is good enough or not? And the fact that he plays there is not enough?!
Do you think there is any top club in Europe that sends scouts to follow players in the Chinese SUUUPER league?
So we should follow the games of a team called Guangzhou in the Chinese SUUUPER league to judge a player who flopped in Europe and went there for 14 millions to see if the older Version of him is worth 40 millions?!
Very sensible indeed!

Funny thing is....

This is the same guy who's bashed the management for signing Gomes and Paco, but now says we should trust them as we don't watch the Chinese league.

Well, That's the fucking point.

No one watches the Chinese League since it's crap so why buy a European flop from a much inferior league?

I can understand criticizing a signing from chinese league, Because the players there value money over sporting ambitions and playing in a good league, And it's just a bad sign.
But there is absolutely no evidence that the foreign players there, Are there because they're "European flops and rejects", And it makes no sense, Because if they're flops and rejects, Why are they paying them this absurd wages to come and play in china?

So again, A player from china doesn't make him low quality, But it certainly give a non-positive view about his charterer, commitment, And football ambitions.

Paulinho IS a EUROPEAN flop man. Tottenham were shocked they even managed to get rid of him.

We're signing a flop for 40m in a position we already got way too many players. Too many players, little World Class quality. Paulinho will add to that burden where we're already stuck with Arda. Old, not a starter or worth the price, different profile and on high wages.

Well, not all players went there because they flopped in Europe, but Paulinho certainly did.

This is worse than Douglas signing. Atleast douglas came for only 3.5m. We are buying this retard for 40 fucking million. Bartemou should be immediately sacked if this deal goes through. Everything about this deal is shady as fuck..

 

[SeaDragon]

40 millions that could be invested in someone like Seri, who's a player who has the qualities that we've been searching for a long time, shit, we need Seri more than we need Coutinho. But no, let's sign a semi retired player from the chinese league, this is Arda Turan and Douglas fused into one.

The easy thing would be thinking that Barto and his boys are just stupid, but no, they're very smart, their boss is in jail ffs.

 

[Sumlit]

Lol at people trying to rationalize this shit.

Too much Stockholm and Battered Wife syndrome going on.

I have to disagree with you on rakitic having stamina. Even in treble season he had to come off very often. His defensive abilities in the last season deteriorated. I think Roberto can surpass rakitic soon and is a very complete player.

Look I know Paulinho is shite I'm just trying to look for positives.

Looks like Fabinho is off to PSG for 60m. He's ten times the player Paulinho is and 23 years old. Sergi Roberto could very well leave if this ridiculous Paulinho signing goes through. He's so much better than Paulinho its not even funny. Our own product. But no, we go for the washed up 29 year old from China. 40m with no competition for him (of course).

 

[Devils]

Man this is such a disgrace. Chinese media are confirming it.

Robert, you fucking coward. Rot in hell.

+ tax on the 40m buyout clause so probably closer to 50m?

Paulinho's Twiter: 26 october 2013 at 17:58 ''vamos Madrid hoy si! PUTA BARCA, PUTA CATALUNHA

And we sign this guy? OMG! This board is crazy! He is not Barca level.

They are looking at the deals as means to pocket the money. jesus christ people Valverde literally said "I didnt ask for this guy" this is why they took Valverde...because he is no body, and he will accept 40m spent on 29 old washed up brazilian from Chinese Super League.

and you tell me that this buy is better than cuadrado? dear lord...
