Paulinho

[Leif 6,006]

Mourinho makes every player twice as good as they already are. Nothing bad, odd or scary about this.

RLC?

edit - Mikel or Ramires is leaving for this to happen

[Special Juan 27,111]

Fuck Levy, we shouldn't even be dealing with people of his like never mind that scroat of a club Tottenham. Add to that I don't rate Paulinho and would sooner see us bring in MvG to the frame.

[Pizy 17,861]

Good player. Think he'd be much better in a team that actually has a system like ours and everyone knows what the fuck they're doing unlike at Spuds.

Think he'd be an upgrade on Ramires (slightly) but I'd rather we aim a bit higher if we want a new CM.

[Bosnian Blue 2,471]

Terrible player.

[CHOULO19 24,332]

Please no!

Good technical ability, very dynamic, but completely brainless footballer. He's a step down from Ramires.

[TacticalBlues 2,817]

Not sure why some think he's a bad player, he's been consistently good for Brazil and was excellent in the Confederations Cup. He started off well at Spuds aswell, his injury halted him and not mention Sherwood lol.

Chelsea becoming team brazil.

Now we just need alex sandro and costa.

If it was me, I would bring Fernando.

[petre.ispirescu 4,928]

Who's next? Aaron Lennon? Valencia? Kolo Toure? Nacho Monreal? Giroud?

Come on fellas, April Fools' Day is long gone... Paulinho? really? From Vidal, Modric, Kroos, Rakitic, Kovacic, and all the names around, to this guy? This has to be a joke.

Matic is a hell of a player, an absolute gem. Do we really have to ruin that by partnering him with an average player?!

If this is true, I hope Jose sees him as Mikel's replacement. Bench/squad player, nothing more.

[nyikolajevics 2,449]

Levy didn't want to sell us Modric but we can buy Paulinho? No thanks.. Why don't you offered Bale last year?

What's our obsession with Brazilians honestly. I could understand if it was their golden era in terms of producing genuine quality footballers which is long gone.

Paulinho has been absolutely terrible since joining spurs.

[The only place to be 11,313]

In his defence, it's tough for a player coming from a foreign, inferior league into a whole new environment, dealing with the Christmas period whilst playing under one poor manager and then having to play under another. Think it's unfair to judge him solely on this season, although he's hardly the most exciting possible signing unless it's a cut-price deal. Reminds me of us being linked to Guarin.

Paulinho has been absolutely terrible since joining spurs.

1. Lamela

2. Capoue

3. Sandro

4. Ericksen for a good chunk of AVB era

5. Lloris

6. vertoghen

The list goes on, the Spurs have all sucked this year.

[Sheva. 5,373]

He's a step down from Ramires.

No chance. He's a starter for Brazil over Ramires for a reason. He's pretty good going forward for a CM, and also good in the air.

I think if he signs, it will show Mou has been disappointed in Ramires, and sees Paulinho as a better option to him.

It's good! He is a good player. We need someone like him. Matic-Paulinho.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

I think he's a great player in his position with a lot of potential to be world class! But my evaluation is based on him at the Confederations cup, no in this awful Spurs team. It is unfair to judge him on his Spurs season.

[Styles 9,790]

Paulinho is exactly the opposite of what we need. We need a playmaker and he's just a poor man's Ramires.

Sigh......
