I do think that given a run in the team similar to that of Lamela would benefit the team. At the end of the day to keep persisting with the same line up will just not produce goals. That's plain for all to see.

Jason Dozzell had a run in the team, scoring 13 goals in just over 80 games, did you rate him just because he scored some goals?
Where do you play Paulinho in the team? as he cant run, tackle or pass!

During the period that Dozzell was at Spurs we had Klinsmann that scored 38 in 68 games, Sheringham that scored 125 in 277, Barmby 27 in 108 and Armstrong with 62 in 173 games.

Trot out all the distant comparisons you want but Dozzell was the least of our scoring problems over the period he was at Spurs.

Jump forward fifteen years to reality and count the number of goals scored from the Spurs side last season. Do you actually know that we have only scored ten PL goals and four of those were in one game, yet you want to get rid of our highest scoring midfielder from last season.

Yes I want to get rid of Paulinho because the reality is he is bloody useless.
And if you could actually answer my original question-
Last season you said 'Paulinho is one of the few players we have capable of playing in a top 4 side'. Do you still hold that opinion? And are you happy with his pace across the pitch, tackling and passing? and if so please justify your opinion for these areas of his game.
