Why would you sell Capoue in a heartbeat? The man is an animal. Before his injury he was brilliant.

He is a bit too lanquid for me and doesn't work particularly hard.

The issue is that when Paulinho is poor, he's unimaginably shit, barely able to get a touch or do anything worthwhile. He drifts through games and despite playing in center midfield, being, in theory, an "all action box-to-box player," he manages to be anonymous both defensively and offensively. I genuinely believe that at his worst he is our worst senior midfielder. Thus, people have clouded views of him. He was basically average in 60% of the games last season, but I can't remember the last time (aside from Stoke) I thought that he had a very good match. So in CM he's essentially at best average and at worst dire and ineffectual.
Behind the striker, in an attacking position, he seemed to express himself more than usual and I felt he was gaining confidence before the injury vs. Stoke. Since then he's been a shell of his former (Corinthians, Confed Cup, Stoke) self.
All that being said.. I don't think he's that good, just not THAT poor. I'd sell him if we could but I really don't think we'll get the fee required.

Even though I feel his form dropped around the transfer window time over all I think he showed enough qualities to keep.
His tackling and passing stats are impressive. I'm not a massive fan of stats either but they are very good it's hard not to take notice. Your looking at around 88% in the tackling department and 85% in the passing.
Must keep IMO.

After his world cup performances, £20mil is good business, however Poch might be just what he needs to bring out his best....

Would the last person who thinks Paulinho is a good player kindly switch off the light before leaving this thread

No, he wasn't. He played 2 games and, although showed some promise, he was far from "brilliant"

You don't get tackling stats and passing stats like he did by just showing promise. The first injury he picked up certainly took the momentum out of his future performances though.

He was excellent for about five years at Toulouse, must count for something even though he no doubt will still need a bit of adjusting to the PL as he didn't play that many games last season

Those two games were about as good as we've ever seen someone in his position play, including Sandro.

Meh. I don't mind if he misses the start of the season. He needs more of a rest than any of our other players.
*cue hilariously unfunny jokes about him being lazy etc.*
Most if not all of the other WC participants are back I thinkg so Jenas should also be back real soon.
Personally not that interested in what AW thinks!
