I dont think he is a hard player. But is he softer than Eriksen?
Eriksen wouldn't bottle a tackle. I saw Paulinho jump out of a challenge that lead to us losing a game.
Newcastle at home last season.

Yep, but I think he has problems off the pitch.So he's now been frozen out completely?
What a waste of money. Bentleyesque.
Doesn't he have issues with depression?Shocking from Poch - unforgivable
Centrifugal force.sorry did I miss something what kicked off this thread again?
They're not comparable though. Paulinho looks like a player who'd benefit from a "rest" period, rather than getting loads of games to find some form. Horses for courses.I don't see how everybody is happy to give Lamela so much time and barely any to Paulinho. The guy scored 8 goals last season, some important, had flashes of brilliance, if Pochettino refuses to give any gametime to either him or Chiriches I'll be dissatisfied. As long as we're paying huge wages we should always be prepared to give players another chance. Why the hell should we have last chances if we're still going to pay him another million pounds until the next transfer window?
I'm really confused as wellsorry did I miss something what kicked off this thread again?
If our squad wasn't 97 % midfielders he would probably get more chances.I don't see how everybody is happy to give Lamela so much time and barely any to Paulinho.

Well he hasn't played in a while so maybe he got a rest. Brighton haven't won in 10, I hope to see Paulinho and Vlad at some point against them, even if we're aren't starting them.They're not comparable though.

ProbablyGuaranteed win for them then.aulinholol:
Are they the teams getting promoted? If your sure we can get some good odds.If Paulinho is the supposed missing link we might as well get prepared for trips to Millwall, Ipswich, and Huddersfield next season.

Your saying that like the goals weren't important, Cardiff, Hull, it is all very saying they were shit, which they were, but we have plenty of players who didn't score those goals. Look, he was obviously on shit form last season, but a player who has 32 appearances for Brazil must have something.Actually the championship, Paulinho's level. If he spent a season in the championship I'd gamble hundreds of pounds he wouldn't make the team of the season.
Last season Paulinho scored eight goals and had two assists in all comps. One against a team from Georgia, one against a second choice Villa team in the cup, an admittedly fantastic winner against relegated Cardiff, a goal against should have been relegated Sunderland, a goal against relegated Fulham, an assist against relegated Norwich, a goal against Hull, a tap in during a blow out of awful in the second half of the season Newcastle and a goal in a completely meaningless final game against Villa. He scored one goal against team that wasn't in the bottom six and it was against Newcastle who were cratering when we played them last season.
I really hate to be negative about a player but I see nothing in Paulinho. He's an okay athlete, he can't pass, can't shoot, can't tackle, doesn't track runners well, is generally soft. The only thing he can do with any consistency is back heel flicks, which while they look nice generally don't contribute any more to the run of play than a regular pass.
The guy is our worst senior player and it isn't close. He adds nothing. Calling him Brazilian Jenas is an affront to Jenas's career here. Jenas had periods of quality form and scored big goals for us. Paulinho has 50 minutes and three backheels against Stoke and a winning goal against the worst team in the league. I would pay £15m for Bentley over £17m for Paulinho and wouldn't even think about it. He might be the worst transfer in the history of the club.
