Paulinho to Fiorentina but could Chiriches join him?
Mauricio Pochettino has stated that the first seven weeks of pre-season will be vital to work on how he wants Tottenham to play next season.
That is not only to continue the education of the players already at Tottenham but to give the new arrivals the best possible opportunity of performing from the off. There will be a turnaround of players but to have new signings in the first seven weeks we need to shift the players we have.
What can't have to sets of players on the wage bill at the same time so Franco Baldini has been working on shifting the players not required as soon as possible. That means tying up deals for the beginning of the window.
One such deal is for Paulinho. He is still highly regarded despite fai;ling at Tottenham, where his game seems to consist of passing sideways and backwards, even when there is space in front of him to find a forward pass. At the World Cup last year Brazilians were asking what we had done to their player, he was a shadow of the one they knew.
He has never shown the right attitude, even saying he couldn't be bothered to learn English. If you can't be bothered in one area required for the game and for integration with a squad then you are not going to perform at your optimum. You do not have a winning mentality.
Italian clubs were interested in Paulinho last summer and are so again. Fiorentina, who beat us in the Europa League, want him and according to their own website have had rwo meetings with Franco Baldini in recent weeks.
Now they don't actually state they are negotiating for Paulinho, although it is known they want him, could their be a double deal in the offering though. Italian clubs were very keen on signing Vlad Chiriches but because of the injury to Kyle Walker Spurs refused to release him, needing him as potential cover at right-back.
It is quite possible that Fiorentina want to revive that deal as well, it would certainly help Spurs if that were the case with FC Koln centre-back Kevin Wimmer arriving when the window opens. Roma also tired to sign him in January, there is sure to be interest from Italy again as they will all sense a bargain.
Younes Kaboul blotted his copybook, quite apart from his performances, and despite being club captain he has not been heard in the media since November time, that can be no coincidence. he has clearly been removed from speaking to the media. Fazio looked to be being groomed, constantly talking to the club website but his performances have not been as we would have hoped and there is speculation that he may also be up for sale this summer.
