Re: OFFICIAL: Barca signs Paulinho

by Doc Mon 14 Aug 2017, 17:06

Wouldn't laugh, he might actually turn out to be a good signing though that certainly would not stop Barca fans around the internets from tripping balls.

Geez, Paulinho cant be that bad surely? Just cos he moved to CSL... hes won the league twice during his time there and the ACL dont forget, cant just dis a player becos of the league without actually watching him pretty sure most here havent. I myself havent too, but from what I heard he shouldnt turn out to be a disaster like everyone thinks... but cant help feel that it wont be a success either...

I can only gather its down to Neymars influence ironcially before he left, Brazils showings, the fact that hes decent, and probably adds something we lack in our midfield atm... I hope so anyway, otherwise its just really money laudering from our board Sad

Another shady deal... nothing new

Coutinho is still on, though. And Paulinho can be a good bench player, the price is ridiculous as always, but thats nothing new here as well

by The Demon of Carthage Mon 14 Aug 2017, 21:22

Nonsensical, and overpriced signing. If I were a Barcelona fan, I would be seething with anger right now.

On the bright side, there's still 180m to spend, so maybe they know what they're doing.

by Myesyats Mon 14 Aug 2017, 23:56

Yes, I believe buying Paulino is not getting in the way of landing Coutinho and maybe some other individual as well. It's not money well spent but perhaps there are more transfers to come.

Barca fans were promised Coutinho, ended up with Paulinho rofl

Dat WCW style booking rofl

by Lex Tue 15 Aug 2017, 02:38

If you smash your head against the wall, pour bleach in your eyes and squint hard enough, Paulinho kinda looks like Coutinho

How much has Barca spent on sub-par midfielders? Arda, Gomes, Paulinho, Song, et al.

by CBarca Tue 15 Aug 2017, 03:47

I always felt he had talent but his time at Spurs made it clear that wasn't true. TO HIS DEFENSE, that was an awful Spurs attacking side and he didn't fit in well. It was a bad side in general. Maybe he'll come good at Barca

That being said, dude was a failure at Spurs then went to China. In no way is this a good transfer unless he comes for less than the price he went to China.

Absolutely disgusting transfer. This management is dragging Barca through the dirt.

One of most shocking transfers ever
There is not rational explanation on it imo

by Andrew Tue 15 Aug 2017, 11:55

Every club in the world begs for the day a Chinese club comes to buy their trash for a shitload of cash yet Barcelona did the exact opposite.

WTF.

Compared to this lol

by BarcaLearning Thu 17 Aug 2017, 18:48

Omg, I so miss Neymar Sad

Still remember before he joined Barca there were large debates as to whether he will be a flop, adapt to Europe etc, how he has proved himself ffs. Probably be the next Ballon D'or winner after the top two if he continues.

by Myesyats Thu 17 Aug 2017, 19:05

Not suprised Neymar left when I see how this club is run currently. Bartomeu doesnt care about how we play, he just wants to cash in the guala via a couple shady deals here and there connected to some company of his or so I've read..... This guy doesnt give a damn about football, he is only a businessman.

by Myesyats Thu 17 Aug 2017, 19:06

btw

Seri has a 35M release clause and we bought Paulinho for 40 lmao

Sad

why you be destroying barca you f'cktards

by sportsczy Thu 17 Aug 2017, 19:54

Seri is being a bit overrated here. Some problems: He's already 26. Nice isn't Barca so it's hard to project. Because he's 26, there isn't additional ceiling there most likely.

Not say Paulinho is a better deal. Just saying Seri has some concerns and, for his age, he's actually not very proven. Only two year of senior side experience.

by Hapless_Hans Thu 17 Aug 2017, 19:59

Comically bad deal notwithstanding, the good news for Barca is that there's no way Paulinho is as bad as we're making out to be.

And there's no way he's as bad as, say, Andre Gomes.

Probably he'll do fine as a squad player.

I'm getting the feeling there's a huge deception being set up here.
Barca is probably going to win the league lmao. Everyone's pretending like Real is some super team when in fact they have won their league like for once in seven years, and then happened to get 2 CLs, one by fluke and one by referee favoritism. Well, let's see if they can win their league again, against this suppoesed joke of a Barca team.

by sportsczy Thu 17 Aug 2017, 20:02

fluke and referee favoritism :facepalm:
