Paulinho

Tottenham fear Chelsea may swoop in and hijack £15m transfer of Brazilian midfielder Paulinho #CFC #THFC (Mirror) lol

I also read in The Guardian that in Brazil there is a suggestion that Mou interested in Paulinho and Luiz Gustavo.

He would actually fit good as an alternative for De Rossi. If De rossi is realy a realistic target...

It isnt close at all, if we are realy in for him. He said he'll decide his future after the tournament

They really are not. Pretty much the same type of players tbh.

Ramires and Paulinho? You are kidding right?

[AndersonBLUE 819]

I would laugh if that was to happen, bet they are all jizzing their pants over there over this signing.

Ramires and Paulinho? You are kidding right?

Yes. They both have the same style of play. They are like for like players, with their box-to-box play who both make the occasional long bursting runs, just seems that Paulinho is preferred for Brazil.

Brazil midfielder Paulinho says he will join Tottenham following £17m offer

17m hahahhahahahahahahha

[nadavTKL 1,787]

We brought Ramires for pretty much the same price. I think its a fair price for him.

Few days ago he was quoted that he'll test the offer and decide only after the CONF, so there is a suggestion that those new ones are fake.

[DanishBlue 426]

He didn't say anything was done, just that he is happy Spurs want him. It does seem pretty close though.

I hate it when Spurs improve their team.

We bought Ramires after great performances in Portugal which, in my opinion, is a really decent league.

£17m for a soon-to-be 25 year old coming from Brazil is just wrong. We paid a premium price for a young and incredibly talented Oscar and he didn't cost much more than £17m. But Paulinho? Does he have much more than he's already shown? From what I've seen I'd be distraught if my club paid over £12m for him.

Being a little bitter I think, he is well worth the 17m

Playing for Audax São Paulo, FC Vilnius, ŁKS Łódź, Audax São Paulo Esporte Clube, Clube Atlético Bragantino and then Corinthians by the age of 25 doesn't exactly scream £17m-rated player to me. Regardless how good he may be he's yet to properly prove himself. I think it's a silly figure.

[Waterfall 893]

He now starts for Brazil. That's all you need to know about how he's progressed as a player and how good of a team he can play for. And there's no such thing as "regardless of how good he may be". If he's good, he'll do well anywhere.

We also happened to lose his team just 6-7 months ago.

But so does Fred.

We also lost to QPR but none of their players are good enough for us. Also Paulinho's club Corinthians are currently struggling mid-table this season, if that adds anything to this.

Another shit piece of English sports journalism. Paulinho's buy-out clause is of 17mi euros. So, they either didnt convert the currency (which is very common) or Spurs simply wanted to overpay because they are generous!
