Paulinho was obviously a signing made for the sake of shady business on the side of Farto, so Valverde's opinion on whether or not he was needed wouldn't have mattered either way. Signing Seri would have 100% been a sporting decision though, and so far the board has shown itself to respect Valverde's wishes in regards to that.

Translation?
 Watched the 2 games against napoli and i have to agree with our board. He is not good enough. I know it was napoli but still i expected much more. He would end up like arda and we couldnt get rid of him and we already have to many of those who wont leave.Seri to Liverpool[tw]901115340637319168[/tw]
Seri left out of OGC Nice's squad to face Amiens tomorrow night

If people watched the 4-0 and 3-0 losses against PSG and Juventus, people would think Barca is a relegation fodder side, right?
Yeah, that's how stupid it is to claim a player is not good enough after watching him for two games.
I honestly don't know anything about him.
But even if he is not world class, if his profile suits us, he would be a better fit than Gomes - who is neither world class nor the kind of profile we need.
Where are all the other "controller" type of midfielders? I haven't been doing any scouting![]()
As i mentioned in other posts, Weigl is a great controller.
