Sergio Busquets has welcomed new signing Paulinho to Barcelona.

The former Guangzhou Evergrande midfielder joined Barca on Monday just hours after their Supercopa defeat to Real Madrid.

Busquets said, "I think Paulinho's arrival is a good thing, because he's a player with a different profile to what we currently have. He can contribute a lot. He's a starter for Brazil, and we'll welcome him with open arms."

The midfielder, however, was also critical of the club's transfer policy.

"The thing is, Neymar is just one [person]. He's not with us anymore, and what we have to do is try to improve. We have to find someone for his position. But in every position, the more who come, the better.

"It's obvious that the level of transfers is short of the mark. I can't say if the club knew, or if Neymar knew. Players often say they're going to leave a team, but they don't; and the other way around. I don't know what went through Neymar's head."
