Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

If he's the man that's seen as the replacement for Bernardo, and if we have the finances to do it - we should bring him in this summer and bed him in (regardless of whether Bernardo stays). Get him used to the way we play.

His value could dramatically increase if he has a fantastic World Cup.
 
Several reports coming out of France that PSG are looking to hijack Barça's move for Bernardo.

If it's gonna happen, I hope it happens soon so we can move on & settle down ready for a tough season ahead...

But is the relationship between Qatar and Abu Dhabi still strained?
 
i know @tolmie's hairdoo reckons our suits would do that deal if offered but does it improve us as a team? I still think it weakens us to be honest as bernies work rate is probably the best in our team on a matchday?
Wouldn’t disagree there, and in fact I think some of the post match criticism of his performance on here last week was a bit ott imho.

If Foden moves inside & Neymar played from his favoured left forward position, & if Pep & Txiki believe he's a player they can work with, then why not?

I know the perception of Neymar being lazy is commonly accepted by most on these pages, but the last few times we've played PSG, I've seen Neymar tracking back to LB & battling for the ball.

However we've focused on him rolling about on the floor when touched as if shot by a sniper, which is something we can tell him to pack it in & save it for Brazil!

The only issue I can personally see is his perceived Billy Big Bollocks attitude. But if Pep & Txiki don't see it as a major issue & think it's been overstated, then I'm cool with that.

So Neymar to City within our wage structure & £40m-£50m, with Bernardo going to Paris? Why not?

Indeed why not?
 
saw several Lyon fans comments that this guy always run out of gas after 60-70 minutes... not the type of Premier League player from the sound of it.
 
Monaco, where he’d just won the title and got to the CL semis. Bernardo was far better at a younger age.
He’s only a year younger than Berny was and was in a team with Mbappé, Falcao, Fabinho etc.

Paqueta has 44 caps for Brazil Bernardo had <20 for Portugal when he joined. He’s won a Copa America.

He’s hardly some random unknown.
