Calendar of FC Barcelona

The market of signings fluctuates, and is full of surprises. If the past summer produced the surprising course of a Brazilian of the FC Barcelona, Neymar Jr, at the beginning of this month of July has produced the one of Paulinho Bezerra, a footballer that gave a big performance to the Barcelona team especially during the two first thirds of the past campaign.

It arrived like a very criticised signing by his age, his price and the fact to proceed of the Superliga of China, but did not take in winning the affection of the fans culés to base of good game, goals and a big sacrifice in favour of the collective profit.

Paulinho Bezerra Has been in the FC Barcelona a player of team, 'headline' by minutes played in spite of going out in the majority of occasions from the bench, and a piece that has contributed muscle, arrival from second line, destruction of the rival game in the medullary, recovery of balloons, offensive pressure and aerial potential for the FC Barcelona in attack and defence.

His course to the Guangzhou Evergrande leaves a gap that the Barcelona will have to fill... And no with Arthur Melo. Because the young Brazilian midfield player is a player very talentoso and, to his 21 years, is allocated to fit like ring to the finger in the FC Barcelona for, with the step of the time, have every time a more important role to the orders of Ernesto Valverde.

However, it arrives to the Barça like a playmaker. An organiser and distributor of the balloon, with good capacity of recovery but some characteristics of game more resembled the ones of Marco Verratti, for example, that to the ones of Paulinho. Although it also is a 'all-campista', does not have the same physical virtues that his compatriot.

The FC Barcelona has to follow fichando

It is thus that the FC Barcelona will have to close, in addition to the signing of Arthur Melo, the one of Seri, Kanté, Milinkovic-Savic or some another midfield player that can offer an important physical wear in the midfield, and that besides have a big arrival from second line to generate between 10 and 15 goals by season.

We do not forget that Paulinho has been the maximum chamber goleador of the team this last course in the Barça. And the group of Valverde can not allow the luxury to lose more offensive gunpowder, or centre it all in Luis Suárez and Leo Messi. It will be necessary to look for a relief, and prompt.
