Jack of All Trades, Ace of none.
He hasn't shown that he's deserving of starting. A few clutch goals but goes completely anonymous for long stretches.
Hope he proves me wrong.

To be fair, most of them were Brazilian rat catchers and postmen playing in Cyprus. Not sure why that's relevant, but it makes Pauli's achievements a little better
LOL another one of these cunts that fail to answer any questions and have an actual debate.
I'll try again, rather than using any meaningless stats against champions elect Villa, who has Pauliniho played well against that gives you such hope?
Agreed... Although on that selection basis we should be putting bids in for a few Norwegians in January.
In the PL, I can only think of 1 really decent performance against Stoke. A few other games like Villa & United he did ok. I really do hope he turns it around, but you're lying to yourself if you think his first season was anything other than distinctly average.
Also, addressing some people's belief that he'll become a No. 10.
He's not starting at No. 10 so long as Eriksen and Lamela are fit, and if his future is indeed at No. 10 then his future is not at this club.

Thought you meant Downing Street...

ochbye:Haha. The window just closed and you are in Paulinho out mode.
Apart from 2 goals and 1 assist in his last 2 competitive matches for us?
You think me mentioning that villa are third in the prem, after you claimed they are an easy touch is avoiding debate?
He meant last season. Anyone can see that. Do you think Swansea and Villa are better than us?
No.
Because we have players like Paulinho.
And where did I claim they are better than us. My claim was there are no pushovers in the prem.
You used their current league position to back up a spurious point, not to say there are no pushovers in the prem.No.

Ade, Eriksen and Lloris aside everyone was shit last season and the fact Tino wants three interchanging number 10s then Pauli very much could have a future here. The bloke is great at pressing high up the pitch and intercepting passes means he has some tools already that this new system needs to be successful. When Pauli toughens up abit there's a quality player in there waiting to break out.
Again, I hope that he proves me wrong. For that matter I hope that Nabil Bentaleb our young French-Algerian turns into the next Zidane, but I have to hedge my hopes and dreams with a dose of reality, and to that end I've not seen in Paulinho what you apparently have.
I could talk all day long about what I'd like for him to be to us, but he's fallen very far behind in our squad and I haven't seen him put in enough good performances to warrant a starting spot, outside of Cup matches and the Europa League.
And what's more, at first blush Pochettino doesn't seem to rate him much, either.
Again, I hope that he proves me wrong, but he's got a mountain to climb to convince me otherwise, and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him leave in January.
Not when the quote was he's done nothing to justify his place.
If you watch his last 2 competitive games for us, 2 goals and 1 assist is a VALID point.
If you've been listening to Americans and Sky Sports opinions of him I suppose I am making a silly point.
That's a cop out. Ended with you wanting him out confirming my post.
Keep covering all bases. I know what you did last summer. And ole Gibbsy never forgets...(disappears into the fog of time)
"And scene."
Yeah break the fuck out of the EPL
