Paulinho...

[Danishfurniturelover]

Well, yeah. Add to that he got labeled by the media as the new lampard, which made people expected him to score almost every game. He did ok. People just had to high expectations of him imo.

It is like me when I sleep with a woman, she gets high expectations when she says another man naked is just letting herself in for disappointment.

Seem to remember he started well enough ...
Scored three times in his first ten PL games.

Did Adam not cripple him and after that he never looked the same?. Better player then he showed here though.

That was Modric

Adam took put Paulinho too. He was out for over a month.

Sorry, it was a silly tangential point from me. Adam took out Modric, but Modric came back stronger and is now the best player at the best team in the world.
Whereas Paulinho shrank back and cowered from challenges. I cannot believe this guy is now at Barca, of all the choices they had. And also playing well for Brazil again... I was so happy when we got Sandro and then Paulinho, two Brazilian international midfielders... and Gilberto... we did not pick the right Brazilians!

And Bale. Adam is such a thunderclam.

The clam did Bale twice. I loved it when he responded with this. Look at the prick trying to elbow him off the ball.

 

[awesome dawson]

That youtube video has just reminded me why I hate scottish football. Quality goal from Bale under serious pressure.

fair play to him, comes across as a grounded chap

Shame he seldom turned up for us then.

Shame he seldom turned up for us then.

Overplayed for country which meant he was often left fatigued and moving countries adds up to a struggle. I thought he had the tools to be honest

 

[Daisuk]

He wasn't too bad for us the first season, but he just chickened out and didn't put the effort in in the second season. No wonder we sold him when we did.

Decent player who started off well, however that tackle from Adams shook him up and he never recovered his form. Add to that some fans started to give him stick and that was that.

Playing in a far better team that other teams are not permitted to tackle at the top of thier league helps a smidgeon.

 

[afsoc4life]

Really happy for him. I liked him at Spurs.

 

[Alaric]

This is more what I remember of him. A talented player but with the heart of a sparrow.

 

[Gutter Boy]

He's just made La Liga history
