Paulinho

[RiffHard]

Some dubious sources have indicated that Paulinho could be on his way to Juventus. It could be true, but most probably isn't, but what I wanted to know is your opinion on Paulinho.

I personally wouldn't be too upset if he left. His first season with Spurs was nothing more than mediocre and his World Cup - despite Brazil playing much better before the dreaded 1:7 rubbing against Germany - was also poor. I agree that he was used in a deeper role, but I remember his last season with us well and it really seems he's the new breed of Brazilian footballer, the one who can't pass, hold onto the ball or score.

Can't score... Yeah ok then(scored 8 )

All right, he really scored 8 goals. I'll take that part back.

It would depend who they replaced him with. Also; Levy won't let him go for less that £25 million (which is what they paid for him). So far those that  are interested have only offering £20 million. He won't go for that.

Paulinho is a good player, providing he has the right players alongside him.

If I recall most of last season we played him out of position as a defensive mid which is not his role.

Again I think in Paulinho we would be daft to sell at this point unless we can make a tidy sum and have a quality replacement lined up or identified within the existing squad, lets face it our midfield is swamped.

         Personally I think Paulinho is a quality player, up until he got injured by that animal Charlie Adam, he was really starting to show why we bought him. IMO I am sure we will start to see him shine this season. I think it would be foolish to sell him just yet!!!

We seem to be talking about selling players all the time. Paulinho is a good  but  not great, but could much better. So based on that, I think he should stay unless someone comes with a few good names as replacements.

Actually I think you will find they paid 17 mill for him. Still about double what he's worth.

You are correct. After I wrote it I realised my mistake. It was Soldado that bought for £25 million.
