Lucas Paquetá

[JewelZee]

It’s a tough one and it isn’t my money, so doesn’t really matter, but I just get that feeling you get when you know you’ve paid too much.

He’d be a major upgrade on Nunes, as it stands, so makes sense. Pep also rarely plays youngsters in midfield either, Rico aside.

£85m would put him in the top 25 transfer fees ever.

If Pep wants him and that’s what it costs, then it’ll get done if the club think it’s fair value.

If it stops us going for Musiala or Wirtz, then I’d pull the plug.

If it was either/or I'd take Musiala or Wirtz also but I don't think that's the case...

Mahrez not replaced yet, in a year or so Doku or Bobb may do it, favor Bobb.
Gundo not replaced that's where Paqueta comes in for me.
Bernie and Kev will not be here within 1-3 years if Phil takes one place, we need another, Wirtz next year for me.

 

[Tevez City]

Why offer 85million when there is no other club interested ?

I know he has a release clause, but so did Yerri Mina ( Barca tied him to 100 Million release clause & then sold him for 20 million to Everton )

Would love to get Wirtz but I don't think that'll be possible anytime soon. I watch him every week and he's a special player without a doubt...

When you
Look at both his and Doyle’s last 2 seasons I think Doyle has been both advised better and also made better choices.

Agreed and for me in terms of talent McAtee is far more talented, but becoming a top footballer at the elite level is just about attitude as it is talent.

Watching the West Ham and Leverkusen game if we has a choice it would be Wirtz I'd be getting. He is different class.

I'm just not sure about him.

Not available unless you talking telephone numbers in fee and wages.

Benzema and Hatem Ben Arfa were both at Lyon's academy at exactly the same time (it's produced many remarkable players, incidentally). Benzema always recognised generously that Ben Arfa had the greater natural talent.
Look at the professional trajectories of the two.
