Let's not judge Paulinho on his transfer fee

I've read some comments recently that as the club has invested £17m in Paulinho, he will be expected to deliver immediately. But I think fans should be careful about thinking in those terms, as transfer fees have so little to do with the actual worth of a player - e.g. Andy Carroll, Fernando Torres, or on the side of the coin, Michu.

This article contains analysis highlighting the problem:

What do you think? Will Paulinho get judged too quickly if he doesn't make an instant impact?

 

These mugs are beginning to irritate me.

If it's specifically Spurs related then fine, as long as you copy the full text of the article in to your post. If it's not specifically Spurs related, leave us in peace and don't try and trick us with the headline

 

Arrrrrrrgh

 

Right, that's just about enough of that. No more of these, unless they're strictly relevant and include the whole article.
People can still link to their blogs if they want, but only if the post itself justifies being here on it's own.
