Yeh, Gomes warned paulinho after the signing saying it was the cemetery of Latin players. They are changing now, but Paulinho joined right at the time they were changing their mentality (club, fans, press, etc).

Paulinho was too expensive for Brazilian teams and if you "fail" at fucking tottenham where can you go? Would you get him then? Also, it was after the 7-1. brazilians players got severely undervalued and I bet a lot of them got down psychologically as well. Spurs had just hired dozen of...

It's the other way around. He's much better against big teams than against small teams that play to get a 0-0. It has been this way in Corinthians, in the NT and even in China. Paulinho is a vertical player, not a horizontal one. I kept saying throughout this thread that those criticizing the...

Yet, he's raw. That's why he hasn't been linked to many european clubs. The thing is that he's really technical and AMAZINGLY athletic. I've posted here before but it seems he wasn't a back until late in his development years. He got all the potential in the world, but it seems his coachability...

He's mixed, but got a lot of Indian (native Brazilian) in him. His nickname amongst Corinthians fans was "The Big Dick Indian" Supposedly, dude got a massive one. That's why he's so calm and confident in himself. LOL, really? As I said above, he supposedly got a massive dong. and it was his...

You are correct on your stance. Still, paulinho is not a ideal fit for Barça. He'll struggle to find his way because people that said he's not the typical barça midifielder are 100% correct. He's not a finésse player, even tho he contributes a lot offensively. Now, the question was and still...

This goal doesn't make him worth what was paid for him, but in this thread I only want to make him justice. As I kept saying, he's a high energy guy but he's a decisive player offensively. He scores and assists the goals that gets you 3 points. Rarely you'll see him scoring or assisting the 5th...

That's probably the same way people measure some sportive events to be watched by billions of peoples. AKA it was broadcast to 85 million people then they take it as the total audience.

He was a winger for Barça, now he plays with freedom to occupy the center. Many assists and goals coming with him centralized on the field. Lets see in the CL, tho.

Not sure why you need to be that aggressive. Factually, you may be right but so do I. He only came back to Spain at that deadline. It may be a coincidence or not. He was forced to go to China and made Barcelona millions for that so he was the last to travel to Spain. After that he met with his...

Only time will award Xavi and Iniesta the respect they truly deserve. Both are in my top15 of all time. Unquestionably. Unfortunately, Messi overshadowed them.

Yeh, he looked ideal for Barcelona due to his finesse but he isn't very tall and can't control his nerves. One game for Fluminense he made a stupid penalty putting his hand on a ball near the end of the box. Worth the shot.

Marlon is a mediocre CB. Not sure how he managed to get in Barcelona. Probably due to his appearances in sub18 NTs, but when he played for the pros he sucked.

Nope.

He's giving up 7.5m euros in salary in the course of his contract just to play for Barcelona. There goes down the rain your argument. He went to China because after 6 months in Tottenham the coach who wanted him was fired. That team had signed dozen of players after selling Bale. It was a mess...

He had to flea Brazil once because there's an arrest warrant on him. He went to England and few years later the charges were dropped. (Our law is outdated, so financial crimes prescribes very quickly in Brazil). Edit, found a link in english...

Neymar told everyone he was leaving at the Messi wedding. It was not a surprise. Barcelona was the one trying to keep him at all costs and forced him to play friendlies plus attend commercial events in USA and China. The moment the obligations were over and the team moved back to Spain the deal...

Sorry mister, but judging by that description I feel I can assume you don't know much about the Big Dicked Indian. He may not play well for many reason, but he wont be unmotivated, slow or weak for Barça.

I agree with this. He did his job defensively and there was little space for his infiltration plus William and Neymar were holding the ball too much. But he had a chance and scored the 1-0 goal. That's him for you, scoring important goals, the 1a0 and 2a1 type of goals.

That's the thing you people don't get about him. Paulinho dishes assists and scores goals. He's not a finesse player, but he's decisive offensively. He may not be the right midfielder for Barcelona, but he isn't freaking matuidi either.
