Sunderland AFC News And Banter Page: @Capt_Fishpaste #safc to meet with Livorno tomorrow having offered â¬7.5m for Paulinho. According to this, anyway - http://www.lanazione.it/livorno/sport/calcio/2013/06/05/899477-livorno_serie.shtml ⦠TRANSLATED, reads:- Livorno, June 5, 2013 - Prepare, because it will be one of the 'soap operas' of the summer transfer market. Paulinho, fresh cool promotion to Serie A with Livorno, is coveted by many Italian and foreign companies. From Samp (which is the first to be moved, even in chronological order) to Werder Bremen, even up to Fiorentina (news yesterday: the purple amaranth could send in Seferovic, currently on loan to Novara). But now even the British pop of Sunderland is now scheduled to meet with the leaders of the British company that would offer 7.5 million in cash. The player's agent Andrea Bagnoli: "I am of the opinion that a deal that takes into account the sale of Paulinho can be characterized by some exchanges, more money of course. Negotiations for Seferovic could be put up, as the Fiorentina already last year had tried the player. Certainly, the evaluation of 10 million seems excessive, especially thinking about how his football today. " Bagnoli is more skeptical about a landing abroad for Paulinho _ despite the fact 'sirens' European _ above, however, an option that would allow the Livorno to make cash (safe) from the outset. "In my opinion, a player like him, before going abroad must score 10-12 goals in the Italian league - said Bagnoli -, then the rest can be evaluated." Highly improbable his stay in amaranth. "I would not discard it, but for the politics of club I believe we must go on. Then we must see what deemed to society and player. For the moment, however - he concluded Bagnoli - I do not plan meetings with Spinelli. " Aye I know the translated text is gobble de gook !
We need a multilinguist on here to do all these translations. Know nowt about this guy just like all the others linked so just got to trust PDC and let him get on with it.
From the echo : SUNDERLAND are rumoured to be tracking Livorno striker Paulinho, although the Brazilian’s own agent has cast doubt over any potential move. Paulinho has been tracked by several European clubs since helping Livorno to promotion to Italy’s Serie A last season, with Sampdoria, Fiorentina and Werder Bremen all linked to the 27-year-old. Reports in the Italian press today have now mooted Sunderland as possible suitors, in a £6.5million deal. But Paulinho’s agent, Andrea Bagnoli, believes the frontman will need to prove himself in Serie A before he leaves Italy in a big money deal. “In my opinion, a player like him, before going abroad must score 10 to 12 goals in the Italian league,” said Bagnoli. Sunderland are in the hunt for fresh firepower this season, but are highly unlikely to pay such a lofty fee for an unproven frontman.
He's 27 and never played in the top flight of football. Not exactly our criteria is it? Don't think this has legs and now i'm sceptical of bullshit in the foreign press.
gutted its not they Paulinho that plays CM for Brazil seems a risk to me this lad seeing as never played in top flight put the money towards M'Bokani or Bony or both!
