EBH 283 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 biased Colombian There genuinely are very few players in the world that can strike a football as well as he can. Look at these. Such clean hits. @Mufassir08 Apparently his nickname is Boom Boom as well Now admittedly that alone is not much of a reason to sign somebody, but if Villa landed him, I'd be delighted. Still, not like Chelsea can't use somebody who can actually consistently twat the ball really hard in a straight line - none of the current squad can do that.

RoyalBlues 4,050 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Good news. Levy will never sell any Spurs players to us anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EBH 283 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Then what's your excuse? As I said, he is a very good striker of the ball, arguably one of the best in the world. From Chelsea's perspective, it's worth having him around as a squad player - he'll do a job here and there - and provide a very unique challenge for teams with his ability to hit the ball hard. Not many guys can offer that, in fact, being a good striker of the ball today is such a rare skill that managers probably don't even bother drilling their teams on how to deal with somebody who can score from anywhere on the pitch. Because even if a midfielder has that capacity, possession is all the vogue and a low percentage, risky move such as a long shot doesn't fit in with the Guardiola-inspired cowardly style of playing football that is the hallmark of the contemporary generation of the sport. Jeremy Clarkson once said that 'power and speed will solve everything'. He was right. The best way to defeat possession football is to be overwhelmingly dominant physically - quicker, stronger, more keen to take risks going forward. And so Guarin will definitely offer something different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EBH 283 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 He doesn't play for Chelsea anymore, I understand. Besides which, Guarin hits it cleaner still. Think Roberto Carlos, Cronaldo or Beckham, not Gerrard or Lampard. He's above that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Juan 28,187 Posted June 5, 2014 Share Posted June 5, 2014 Guys back on topic of Paulinho please. If you want to discuss certain players then do so in their dedicated threads.Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petre.ispirescu 4,928 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Jason Burt at Telegraph says that Juventus are lining up €25m bid for Paulinho.How the hell can this guy be valued at more than €10-12m? Unbelievable.Seeing that Juventus are ready to splash the cash on shit players, I think Mourinho should call his italian friends and offer them Ramires. Then take the money and run. And let Spurs stuck with Paulinho for another season.edit - Also the funniest part of that article is that he'd act as Vidal's replacement. LOL. Something like replacing Cristiano Ronaldo with Ashley Young, or Ribery with Isaac Cuenca. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Brazil have any hope of moving forward from this World Cup, Paulinho should never play for them again.BTW: Jason Burt is a liar. He is one of the worst journos around.
