To repeat my post in the Paulinho thread in the General Football forum:
This is the best day of @Eric_s' life.
This is the best day of @Eric_s' life.
The 29-year-old has joined Barca in a £36.4m deal and is set to be presented on Thursday after undergoing his medical. His Barcelona release clause is £109.1m.
I got six pack abs from laughing so hard when I heard the news. This guy is so so bad I have no idea why Barcelona would possibly want him. Only Sissoko challenges him for the title of our worst midfielder of the past decade. The guy is 29 years old and other than two disastrous years with us he's never played in anything resembling a half-decent league, he even flopped in Lithuania and Poland FFS.
To quote myself in the other thread:
"Couldn't pass, couldn't tackle, couldn't beat a man, no real engine, missed a lot of chances even if he did get into good positions. Most of the time the guy looked like he thought he was playing barefoot on Copacabana beach."
Haven't been this stunned by a transfer since Alan Pardew unveiled Tevez and Mascherano in West Ham shirts on deadline day.
Which Paulinho will they get?
Quite funny, they thought they'd get Seri and ended up with Paulinho... I particularly liked this quote:Barcelona fans are losing their shit
