Former Arsenal star taunts new Barca signing

Former Arsenal star taunts new Barca signing

Former Arsenal midfielder Ray Palour has taunted Barcelona’s new signing Paulinho, according to the Daily Express.
 
Brazil international Paulinho moved to the La Liga giants for a reported £36m, but was caught on film barely able to perform keepie-ups at his induction ceremony.  
 
Now the former Gunner player Palour could not help himself in taunting a former Tottenham Hotspur player Paulinho, telling TalkSport: "He did four keepy-ups, that's 10 million euros a keepy-up.
"I can't work this one out. He's 29 years old and it's not a good move.
"They've just been beaten 5-1 [to Real Madrid in the Super Cup] and they're bringing Paulinho in who can only do four kick-ups."

Just 2,000 fans turned up to Paulinho's unveiling and it was yesterday claimed that no shirts with his name on the back had been sold.
Paulinho joined the Lilywhites for £17m from Corinthians in 2013 but failed to make an impact. He then made the switch to China for £15m.
