Paulinho is our man then, also Roberto can now play in midfield and he is mobile

Convince him to leave Liverpool (we are a more attractive club than them) and pay the world record for him. He would replace iniesta who really showed his age last season. Get the controlling midfielder next season

Robert Fernandez indicated that he wants to sign Paulinho and he seems to be our last remaining target when you consider or low budget. Though he did say there maybe two or three players AFTER semedo signing

Why is the budget lower than usual?

Walker costs that much because he's English and good English players are hard to find (they don't have quality and depth of other nations). Teams want to fill their quota with good English players obviously. Add in the fact it's a rival selling to a rival and levy is a good negotiator and knows...

Maybe he meant bomb as in shit. Lost in translation....

He is smart with the ball, having a right back good in build up is as important as a midfielder

Even if he isn't better than Vidal a right back is still needed in the team. Also the Vidal hype is strange, he only played well for a few games against some crap teams, the jury is still out on him

Bad logic

Semedo is better than most of them and psg players are unattainable. Also Roberto doesn't want to play right back, it's not his natural position. Vidal can be good but it remains to be seen (even he is not a natural right back, has defensive issues, had major injury and only had good form before...

It will also help Gomes morale

Roberto was a late bloomer for us maybe samper can be the same

Good deal, it gives us enough to pay 40m for Paulinho and we completed the squad while staying in budget

Paulinho

Paulinho won't start ahead of iniesta rakitic or even gomes, he is a backup player even in a 4231 (we will probably use busquets rakitic double pivot in that formation)

I hear that Barcelona have agreed a fee for 30m euros and 5m variables, beating Manchester to his signature If this is true I'm vey happy, it's a big need and who knows how he'll work out but it was the best thing to do considering the right back market

Vermaelen is easily good enough for a backup when he's actually healthy

I remember last summer the signings were quite unannounced.

I'd be happy if they bought semedo, all that's needed then is a midfielder and next season should be good

How would you guys compare him to Thiago at the same age
