Palhinha had a great game and is well regarded, I haven't paid enough attention of his use of the ball to know if he would fit in that aspect but he pure defensive play and harrying was very impressive.
I think Paulinha can do both.He is a destroyer not a passer from what I’ve seen
We need the passer as much as anything
That’s where possibly Rodrigo can fit in
MaybeI think Paulinha can do both.
Think it was him that created the second for Fulham at the weekend by receiving the throw in, working it onto his right foot and then getting the ball into the player in the middle in acres of space.... Very good awareness from him. He has a bit of everything but his price tag is very expensive for a player who probably doesn't have another high transfer fee move after the next one.Maybe
I haven’t seen him do the passing bit
He is class at the only stuff
However he is 28 and they want big money
That goal was crap from us thoughThink it was him that created the second for Fulham at the weekend by receiving the throw in, working it onto his right foot and then getting the ball into the player in the middle in acres of space....

Always been whelmed when seeing him play in the past.. 24 and never managed to be a regular for the pikeys, not sure he improves our overall quality.We're being linked with Ben Johnson, the West Ham RB, on a free.
I don't remember seeing him play, but if he's more capable offensively that Royal, it could be a smart move.
Obviously he's unbelievably rapid, but I'm not about his dabbles with steroids in the 80s.

I think that's the deal breaker.Think it was him that created the second for Fulham at the weekend by receiving the throw in, working it onto his right foot and then getting the ball into the player in the middle in acres of space....

I think that's still in the envelope of deals we would very rarely make.
ie a big transfer fee and high wages for a 28/29 year old. Give them a 4/5 year contract and that's all a sunk cost. Not much coming back to you once they're 34/35.
We shouldn't be far off being able to buy top quality for the here and now - not saying every position but if the right player is available at his peak and can be expected to contribute over 3-4 years in the starting XI then why not? Whether Paulinha is that player or not i don't know, but we need to supplement our potential buys with some PL proven quality from time to time in order to move forwards and really challenge imv
Bissouma upgrade is who I'd be most focused on getting in
This is what i'm hoping our improved scouting and appraisals team will now be able to do. For too many years we wouldn't go for the underheralded but then couldn't afford the genuine proven talents. VDV, Vicario, Udogie, Sarr etc are a good start to the model.A great buy if you've got unlimited budget and not worried about replacing him in a couple of years. We should have gone for him when Fulham did.
Palinha is just a walking yellow card. A slightly better Vinny Jones.Palhinha had a great game and is well regarded, I haven't paid enough attention of his use of the ball to know if he would fit in that aspect but he pure defensive play and harrying was very impressive.
Witrtz is class but not sure where he fits in our teamI'd agree at the right price though. Maddison was the right price and right fit. Also hg.
I don't really want us to go over £50m for a player. Think it's massively diminishing returns. The wages will have to match the price tag aswell.
If it doesn't work out for whatever reason, due to amortisation. It makes it incredibly difficult to shift them.
You look at the most expensive players in the prem. Hardly any have been a success let alone justified the price tag.
Although wave a wirtz or lautoro martinez in front of my face, i'll bite.
