The Weekly Pick: Maxwell

Today has been a busy day for Barca's newest signing, Maxwell, taking all the steps to initiate his career at Barca, and he's been nothing but positive and cheerful all through it.

Maxwell arrived at the club at 13:00 CET from Los Angeles, and first thing he did was pose in front of the Barca crest (photos below), saying that he's "very happy and contented to be in Barcelona", also stating that he's very keen to start work right away with what he considers to be a "fantastic team" that plays "the best football in Europe".

He also got to give his first autograph as a Cule sooner than expected - a fan met him at the doors with a Messi away shirt from the 2005-2006 season, which he gladly signed.

After that, it was time to go in and take his physical, which went by without a glitch (photos here).

At the scheduled time of 5:30 CET, Maxwell's official presentaion to the press kicked off, where he lifted the Barca shirt with his name on it and claimed this to be on of the happiest days of his life.

Last step was his presentaion to the fans wearing the complete Barca kit, which took place on the Mini Estadi due to the ongoing pitch renovations in Camp Nou.
