Fuck me!
I hope we provided bowls of water for all those guide dogs.

I think the problem is if you are going to play him in the front 3 then who is he better than in that position. Eriksen? Obviously not. Lamela? Don't make me laugh. Chadli? I suppose a case could be made but i'd favour Chadli myself. Let's not forget that he is a £17M Brazilian international. That's a lot of money for a club like ours to pay for someone who may be a slight improvement over Chadli. And that of course assuming we don't bring in Jay Rod or Wellbeck or Depay or any of a host of AM we've been linked with.
In all the time he's been at the club i've seen Paulinho play well in about 3 halves of football. If we can get back 80% of what we paid for him I reckon Levy will take that with Poch's blessing.
What!? He's looking back to his best again. The guy is immense! Even noticed a couple of quick, forward passes from him last night!
Agree he looked good last night. I can't see that we need to sell any box to box players. If you look at it we are set up well with strength in depth
Capoue - Sandro
Bentaleb - Dembele
Chadli - Townsend/Kane
Lamela - Paulinho
Eriksen - Holtby/Kane
Ade - Soldado
Following last season i could also see Dembele playing in that front three from the left or the right.

I'm in the minority on here in that I actually rate Andros but there's no denying that, nicely taken penalty aside, he was our poorest player last night. Not as awful as he was in the away leg admittedly but it was a not a good performance. I think he's trying too hard to impress and failing. He needs to take a page out of Kane's book and start using his brain.
I think he just needs to get fit. He was great before his injury last year under TS and I have confidence he will return to greatness in the coming weeks.@prawnsandwich

And it was Tottenham, super Tottenham from the Lane!!!Paulinho reminds me slightly of Frank Lampard.
Not bad, but flatters to deceive and just about chimes in with enough goals with the right players around him.
I'm afraid whilst he improved during the game with AEL he has looked average for quite a while, both for us and Brazil. I had hoped for far better.
And as for last night... It was AEL, from Cyprus!!
I think calling him the Brazilian Frank Lampard has been a fairly accurate description of him so far. He's not incredibly good at one skill or another although he doesn't have any huge glaring weaknesses either. He seems vanilla average except for the fact that he constantly pops up for goals.Paulinho reminds me slightly of Frank Lampard.

This is brilliant, you've just contradicted exactly what you said previously about him. You've made your mind up about paulinho already just like I've made my mind up about you. Let's call it a draw! Enjoy the season.Some fair points in there. He did win the ball but also lost it quite a lot too. Also I liked his goal but I wouldn't give him too much praise for the assist. Obviously it's not a bad thing or anything but it wasn't a tough pass to make. I just generally feel underwhelmed by his play and he would be the first CM I'd sell to accommodate MS
Hmmm. Give my opinion, get grief. Concede I was a little harsh, get grief for being contradictory. Something tells me I can't winThis is brilliant, you've just contradicted exactly what you said previously about him.

Sorry mateI think he just needs to get fit. He was great before his injury last year under TS and I have confidence he will return to greatness in the coming weeks.
I don't think he was bad last night. He had 2 wild shots but he was good otherwise.

Exactly. I'm starting to think Paulinho has a couple of accounts on here the way people are talking about him. I don't think he's bad but he does disappoint me. That said, he does score goals and was restricted in AVB's system, as well as the fact he was injured and suspended for part of last season and he hasn't stopped for around 2 years! I like to think I can see both sides of the argument but apparently that's contradictory or going back on your word. I sincerely hope Paulinho proves me wrong and I hope he continues to score goals!Don't want to give you a like or agree as will seem like telling you you can't win lol. I disagreed with you last night but doesn't mean not allowed an opinion, it's a forum. I'm sure you ain't some dickhead that would refuse to asknowledge if someone is doing better. I really, really don't rate Townsend and hope I'm proven wrong, I'm sure you're same regarding Paulinho.
