Spurs players took bets on mystery Paulinho strains
It has finally happened, we have got rid of one of the 'Summer Seven' a group of largely non-performing players, some of whom are just here for the money.
We can strike Christian Eriksen and Nacer Chadli off that list, that have performed, but Etienne Capoue expected guaranteed game time, Vlad Chiriches isn't a money mercenary either, he is simply not up to the standard of player we require and Erik Lamela hasn't yet demonstrated the mental toughness it takes to succeed.
Paulinho has left the building, thank goodness. The lazy Brazilian has joined Guangzhou Evergrande on a four-year deal, the Chinese Super League side have announced on their official website.
'Guangzhou Hengda Football Club officially announce from Premier League outfit Tottenham Hotspur that midfielder, Brazilian player Jose Paolo Bethesda La Maher Junior, ie Paulinho, was formally signed, for the transfer fee of 14 million euros (US$15.66m - AUS$20.41m - £9.93m), for four years.'
The 'I'm too lazy' Brazilian who could be bothered to learn English will now have a new language to master. Michael Delaney is a writer for ESPN, Independent on Sunday, Irish Examiner and Blizzard. I called his problem a mental one and I haven't wavered from that, where he has gone, why he has gone (money) and the Tweets below reinforce that view.

Paulinho - apparently, some at Spurs would take bets over what minute he'd pull up with a "strain" in some training sessions.
... which perhaps explains why, beyond the money, a 26-year-old supposedly approaching his prime is moving to a lower-tier league.
