Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[IeMo_2007]

Google translate:
According to the findings of our @fredcaldeira and @vitorsergio, Manchester City's withdrawal from the signing of the Brazilian Lucas Paquetá is directly linked to an investigation by the English Football Federation involving breach of sports betting rules by people involved in the sport. Paquetá's advisory confirmed the end of negotiations with City, but did not respond to the FA's investigation.

Surely they have to prove he got booked because of this. Need messages or such i would imagine

Would they? Unusual betting patterns and an already odd looking yellow woild be pretty damning.

That may just be a 2+2=5 because of the odd yellow he got late in the last game.

If the bets were on a yellow in that game then it's not looking good for him.

No idea mate. Just had a glance at the West Ham forum.

I really like him and think he's a class act. Considering transfer inflation, I think 80 million would be a good price for him. So, I am hoping this is not as serious as first thought.

What an idiot.

Don't be so hard on yourself, we all have off days :)

I’ll bet we dodged a bullet here!

We don't even know he is at fault here.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Patience is a virtue.

Its also a card game that you can only bet on yourself.

i guess the hammers forum isnt full of over reactions and guesswork unlike on here

Amateurs.

Still have to prove it was intentional for betting purposes even if it "looks" nailed on.

Ah well. Never mind.

We can kiss bye to them if we don't strengthen the squad with quality attacking & creative players
