Paulinho

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.

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.

Guys back on topic of Paulinho please. If you want to discuss certain players then do so in their dedicated threads.

Thanks.

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.

Even that's too much. 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.
