João Palhinha is a duel winning monster. No player in the Premier League during his two seasons at Fulham won more duels than the Portuguese midfielder who is set to sign on loan at Tottenham from Bayern Munich. In this video, Ben Bowman breaks down the pros and cons of the signing and discusses his limitations on the ball, but his strength that no other Spurs midfielder has.

Rate the signing of João Palhinha out of 10 🇵🇹👀
Good signing. We've not had a proper "destroyer" for a long time. Compliments all of our other midfielders who can carry the ball a bit more.
We need paulinho to win the ball and pass it to another player to take it forward…that's all because we're very bad at closing down when we don't have possession 😮
Are people forgetting Archie is a 6
9 out of 10 but think we lost an opportunity to sign Johnny Cardosa 😮Why are we so short sighted ?😮
He'll make an already confident backline even more assured and liberate Porro and Spence's progressive instincts – great signing
Thomas Frank knows what they need
In 23-24 season: Pauli had the most number of tackles than anyone in premier league and one of the finest defensive mids
He knows the league too. Hopefully he stays fit like he was and help the team
Good signing
Now go and get a full back and a striker
Should never have gotten rid of Pierre-Emile.
You need players like Palhinha in your team. He will let our 8 and 10 going more forward in attack. This will be Franks Norgaard in Brentford, I’m very excited 🙌🏻
good player but he's 30 years old so only one season in him I think. Another ageing player like Son is not what the team needs.
I think he is almost exactly what we needed, especially for his aerial prowess and will massively improve the team for at least a year. This will make the club a more attractive proposition when we need to buy a younger dmf and will give us more time to scout one.
Part of me is hoping that maybe this is a 12-month filler and then we go in next summer for Wharton, if so then I think it is a good move.
I'm more excited about paulina than Kudus every great spurs team had a dier wanyama Dembele u need these players so maddison and bergwal can go and play
It is so frustrating that people keep using his Fulham stats as justification for him being the 'perfect signing' for us.
Did you say another centre backs to cover romero?? Why?? When we have danso and dragusin when back from injury plus if used vuska and kota all natural right footers. I know your a content creator so maybe you said it to get a response, it worked you idiot 😂😂
We need another Kudus on the left wing (Tel is backup quality at best and Sonny is deteriorating by the day), a striker pacey who scores goals, a backup left back, a world class 8.
So, two more players who go Straight into the first 11 (loan Tel is necessary), otherwise we aren't finishing 4th this season, in order to be ready for a title challenge next year.
We don't need another CB as a priority. We have 2 good starters, 2 decent backup (Danso, Dragusin), and 2 more if we're desperate (Gray & Davies)
Excellent analytical points on Palhinha… Thomas Frank's focus on tactics rather than rousing motivational speeches is exciting…
Good signing. Now let’s go get Jack Grealish on loan, Dusan Vlahovic and Rodrygo. Then we would have an unstoppable attack. Also if we can get Assensio who was on loan at the villa that would be great because we need another creative midfielder who can score, assist and do clever passes into the box and can play alongside or cover for Maddison
I want Ederson at Atalanta. He’s a killer in duels but also has excellent passing. Check his stats he’s exactly what we need.
I think it makes a lot of sense ! We need some balls in middle of park. We’re too soft and let’s not forget how much players around him will improve their out of possession game.
But left field but what about Ndiaye at Everton as a 10. I also rate El Khannouss but he can’t be the marquee signing. Gives me KDB vibes.
A grass muncher??? 11:01 lol 😂
What happenend jonny cardoso?
You bugging I love we brought Paulihna. Big L for them but big dub for us COYS 🤍
Should provide nice balance to the team.
He might not be the most creative 6 but he can let the likes of bergvall and bentancur, be more expansive dms. They can line break with driving runs.
Not sure how sarr fits into this, he's an excellent box crasher but there's not much deep progression between him palinha.
Love your content , but notice that waving microphone 😮
Loved the video. Looking forward to more!
Just a thought though. If we actually sign Palinha then against the deep defences, can't we have him switch to rest defence freeing Romero (line breaking passes) or Micky (ball carrying) to take turns to join the midfield?
I like the idea that playing arsenal for example, matching their physicality will be a key factor and you’d expect him to start those games
i think danso is a great cb a bit solid compaired to Romero
6 out of 10
Dembele replacement finally Coys
I dont like a no10 dropping deep to do what our other players should be able to do. I think Paulinho will free up our 2nd cm to do that berg hopefully could be that man. Keep the no10 up there 8 iut of 10 times we were so blunt in attack at times coz madders dropped so deep and then the player who got the ball couldnt pull the trigger on that killer pass
