Paulinho

[Miracle 249]

watched him today. nothing great. ofcourse, this is the only game i've seen of him and i don't know much about him but from what i've seen, i would say he's another Mineiro. to be fair, the whole team was being pegged back by Al Ahly

Completely agree but there are a lot of rumors going on about Paulinho.

thought Paulinho was a carbon copy of Ramires (as player characteristics go). Isn't that the case?

Paulinho is a better passer and goalscorer than Ramires.He was bad today but he was really impressive with the Brazillian NT in all of his past games.Was huge vs Colombia and Japan.

I think....what do I think.

I think that we deserve to be amongst the best teams in the world. I can't imagine Paulinho developing into one of the best midfielders in the world. I believe he'd be a decent squad player for around £5mil - but there's no way we'd be getting him for that.

If this was Football Manager, I'd offer £1mil plus loan them some random youngster so we could loan him in for the season to cover for our CDM's.

Came in here expecting to be educated about Paulinho, so I started on page 1 and worked my way here, and all I've learned is the official name of the Brazilian league and that Italy have a bad economy....

So this is for 90% of you:

LOL

It did go out of hand, I asked the mods to move it elsewhere, but it obviously wasnt!

We will all see Paulinho on Sunday, so you will get a better opinion about him...

[Sir Mikel OBE 4,920]

Really impressed with him.

[OneMoSalah 8,885]

All he done was kick lumps out of our midfield, if we wanted a shit player who could kick lumps out of people we would ask Roy Keane to come out of retirement.

Been a long while since anyone mentioned Paulinho... what's the latest on him??

Sorry to anyone who was expecting some fresh news here, I obviously don't have any, but I was curious to know if anyone else had heard anything!

[Dion 2,476]

The latest thing I've seen was him being linked with Internazionale.

The latest thing I've head was him being linked with Internazionale.

Postponed to June, he wants to play Libertadores again...

Chelsea is looking for an upgrade in central midfield with Paulinho of Corinthians a target.(Guardian)

[lucio 5,418]

"Paulinho is a box-to-box midfielder who "is a strong and powerful runner, pushing his side forward from midfield to supplement his fine defensive work. Paulinho also offers a useful presence in set piece situations at both ends of the pitch."

In other words, we dont need him!

Im getting the impression that he's just Ramires with a different name?
