Not knocking at all Pleb. I didn't mean to give that that impression - she's an amazing person.
In my post, I didn't say that Paulinho and Denbele's performances were poor.
I said that I don't think it's unreasonable to expect better performances, more consistently from both.
And by that, I mean, since they joined us, not just this season.
They are both international players and represented their countries in the World Cup. This is reflected in the transfer fees and I presume, their wages.
As I said in my response to the original poster, it may well be that Paulinho needs a rest.
Dembele may just be one of those players that we seem to specialise in at Tottenham - high quality but injury-prone.
If course, I want them both to do well and I'm fairly patient but I just expect a bit more when they're selected and fit.
Please let there be some truth in this. Can't see it happening, since when has any South American team paid big bucks for a player?

Our best Brazilian since Damiao

Surprising from Poch. Is he just being diplomatic?

I genuinely think theres a good footballer in there, but he will never look good in this league, so we need to get shot to get the best result for club and player. Having said that he got a reasonable goal return for a

That Argentina/ Brasil rivalry eh??
Pochettino told ESPN Brasil when asked about a possible loan deal: “No, no Tottenham player, including Paulinho, will be loaned to Brazil. There is no chance"

ochsulk:'Big man' that's a hoot. He's the softest player I've ever seen in a Spurs shirt.
Pauli's still not won you over has he?
Yep, and it's funny when I see that picture as proof of his 'hardness' he knows he has no chance of getting hurt.[/IMG]
Softer than Modric?
Oh this is ridiculous - Eriksen scores goals - opens up defences. There is no comparison. Just look at the two players you advocate.
Mate, don't twist things - your post said something about the 'big man', many people would equate that to mean a certain physical or mental stature - he has neither. Of course you don't need to be a hard man to play for Spurs, but you need to be something other than simply Brazilian. I feel a bit sorry for people who support players over the club - it all gets a bit weird.
He's been given every opportunity to prove himself.
He hasn't.

Ok fine, but harder to spot when coming from a fan. Apologies.
Really don't understand how anybody can defend him at this point.
They couldn't be clearer now IMO. We bought a turkey.
Lets fatten him up then and sell him!
