Mouri_Matic 560 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Very good player, really should have signed him as he fits that CDM role perfectly. Another bargain Spurs got on their hand after Vertonghen and Dembele last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Isn't he just another Box To Box type player? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif 6,006 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 He's rather decent stat-wise. For club and country he's averaging just under 3 tackles per game and is making 1 key pass per game. 80% pass accuracy. I don't think we're missing out though. Better than Scott Parker, sure, but not as good as Dembele I don't think and i'm not sure they'll compliment eachother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bir_CFC 3,455 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Good purchase for the Spurs to improve their midfield even further, and even though Paulinho gets some goals from the midfield you still think they need more goals from the rest of the team. They really need to get some goal scorers in that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I'm sure Gustavo would suit us better. Plus he'd be cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rmpr 8,977 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Who's better between him and Gustavo?Seriously? I just asked for people to stop thinking he is a DM and then you ask which of Luiz Gustavo (DM) or Paulinho (CM) is better? They both play together for the Brazilian NT...

lucio 5,418 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Who's better between him and Gustavo?gustavo. proven to be a top player at a great club and is a CDM as opposed to someone in ramires position who probably isnt as good (ramires is awesome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rmpr 8,977 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I wouldn't have asked if I watched them regularly.Don't need a pissy response to an honest question.I know, but I had just posted that he wasnt a DM (you even quoted) and then you ask who is better. Didnt make much sense...To better answer your question, Gustavo and Paulinho are very different players and it is hard to compare. Paulinho is a box-to-box midfielder who is an average defender but very good at being the surprise men in the attack, while Gustavo is a typical quality DM with a strong left foot. Like I said, very different players!Paulinho is an improved Scott Parker, with better pace and finishing (and about the same level when passing or marking). He will be a great add to Spurs, especially because he will keep their defence solid and he will be another good scoring option besides Bale and Defoe/Adebayor. He is a good player, very good actually, but nothing hugely spetacular...Sorry if I came out rude, wasnt my intention! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinedine Iniesco 172 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 It all depends on what midfield mourinho will employ but if he has brains he will know that he cant repeat the disaster he created with the madrid midfield.To look at Alonso and Khedira as starters together was a disgrace, he cant do that here.In chelsea he will either get A great DM to play with someone who is of the chemistry of Thiago, Modric.Or he buys a Box To Box like paulinho to pair up with someone who is not as adventurous as the pair mentioned and can hold him self in the defense such as Illaramendi which chelsea should probably start looking at.Or Gundogan. Although he will be tough to yank from Madrid. Maybe even barca as i see barca going after gundogan if they lose thiago to united.Chelsea would be well set with a well balanced midfield and with oscar infront of the expected double pivot.
