As good as Paulinho seems to be i'd much rather be using the 17m towards a quality young forward who's going going to score us 20 goals a season, it could be the case that we have Ade, Defoe and Villa for next season so with Villa perhaps struggling with the pace of the premier league or getting injured it will be the same as last season.If we are going to sign a quality young forward as well as Paulinho then happy days !

Paulinho improves our first team from what it was. Quality, proven international who will walk into the team. These are transfers we need regardless of position.
When a player like this comes available you have to get him - the skill for me is being able to move the players now not needed on for the most money possible.

Carroll is English, English players always have their values overly inflated. Liverpool had just come into £50m from the Torres sale and were desperate for Carroll, so Newcastle were able to take them to the cleaners with the transfer fee.
That one transfer isn't the benchmark for all impressive debut seasons.

Not really anything to do with nationality seeing as you mentioned Torres wasn't he overpriced as well?
More to do with the fact that the Premiership historically has been the most lucrative league in the world and teams throughout the league always readily had a lot of money to spend compared to teams in other leagues, granted that English players don't really compare skill wise to foreigners but that doesn't mean that they're exclusively overpriced.
But to answer the question then obviously a striker is what we need the most but it's a moot point anyway seeing as we're still using the money we have to strengthen other areas.

Ok lets twist your own logic here.
You don't want Villa as he may struggle with pace or get injured, if we just buy a youth, what will happen if he gets injured and leaves us with just Defoe and Ade?
To me we need better creativity in midfield, we need this more than a new striker IMO, we could get a striker and not get many chances, so as others have said, Villa and Paulinho will do, or others as long as its both.

I agree but his worth to villa he is higher than what he is worth to us, he is potentially the difference between a good season and a bad season

Both would be the right answer. I think a good striker would have more of an impact that Paulinho since we've got a strong midfield
I think only steroids could help those two

will he? he'll probably outscore them, not sure he'd make them better though.
