I think it means we want to sell him in January, but he is not going cheap.

If he had been bought for 2 mil spurs would probably have him on the scrap heap by now, but because it was 17 it makes sense to try to get him back to reasonable form before selling on. Purely business, I doubt MP is driving it.

Last year's business with the Bale windfall was awful. Daniel Levy is a terrible businessman. Lewis ought to sack him but he's too old and comfortable to care, and fair enough. Each week that goes by I become more firmly entrenched in the "it's-all-Levy's fault" camp. But it is, isn't it? Doesn't the buck stop with the highest decision-maker?

We have to come out with reasons for why Paulinho is so bad in the the hope that we can persuade some mugs to buy him. Hopefully the tactic will work and we can rid of him as soon as possible. He has been a disasterous purchase either because he does not care or because he really is useless.

I'd prefer it if we tried to find a strategy to let him find the form he showed when he first joined.

And it would be nice if our all our fans tried to support him instead of embarassing the club by fucking booing him when he's getting sent on.

Bale was crap with us for a while too... couldn't win a game with us. Something has happened to Paulinho and I appreciate what the club are doing if they really are resting him from physical/mental exhaustion but it has nothing to do with that thrashing - he had lost his form way before then and I think they only let in one more goal when he was on the pitch.

Paulinho was a valued player in the Brazil team that won the confedarations cup, most of us were exited that he signed and there were no dissenting voices I can remember. So it must be Levy's fault that it hasnt quite worked out, in fact Brazil should also blame Levy as his form has dipped for them too.
The record spins round and round on the turntable and sometimes I like it to be changed to a different tune.

Bale had poor luck with winning matches and injuries, but we're talking about a player who was 17/18. Paulinho is a senior player, 26 years old.

he needs to sort his shit out and fast.

Exactly!

I don't know why spurs fans like to kick our own when they aren't playing well

If he was ever that good another top club would have gone and signed him...not us!

Or maybe he is, as the article says, burned out?
