I see none of the haters have bumped the regular Paulinho thread today, they're usually so quick to do so.
Why would anyone bump his thread anyway? He had an average game. If an average game required a comment then all 11 player threads would be bumped. Bentaleb had a better game and no-one has bumped his. The only 2 circumstances that get a player thread bumped is either an exceptional performance or a terrible performance. Looking at the 2 threads going atm one is Kane who has scored 30 goals the other is Lamela, I haven't checked but I assume it's due to his shocking first half.
The fact that Paulinho thread has been up there this week is not a good thing. the fact that it is not up there today is testament to him not playing badly. Do you think his performance is worthy of Kane praise or Rose praise for the last few weeks?
Indeed5 games left, its really a gamble to keep them if they play well for the next 5 games, come the beginning of the season if they start being shit again then their fee goes down even more.
It did make me chuckle, but I bet that same fan supports players that have been horribly worse.
People have been doing the same with alot of players on the team, and the Barclays help account has been joining in on. Some funny banter, to be fair.
Levy is ecstatic with this, trust me.Not really a 7m loss. Works out about 200k book loss based on 17m over 5 year deal. 3 years left is 10.2m book value. I think levy's done well.
