Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[BlueHammer85]

Do you think we can get paqueta?

Yes, why on earth would he not want to go to City and if you're offering 70 mill + then i can't see us turning it down.

 

[Bluemoon has risen]

Bit surprised by the negativity on this one. I think Paqueta would be an excellent signing for us. Technically brilliant and helps fill the creative void of Mahrez and Gundagon. Alot of money yeah, but if City think he's worth it then no issue for me.

 

[Coatigan]

Absolute nonsense on this one, why on earth would we bid 70m for him when we supposedly won't pay over the odds for any player. I'm sure we'd start at around 50m because quite frankly he isn't worth any more

This is like the opposite of the Mitoma fee BM estimators.

Like it or not, contract length, previous fee paid for him and age all come into it.

I can't see him going for anything less than 70m. Not because he is that good a player. But because that's his overall 'value' based on the situation.

 

[BlueDejong]

hmm

 

[RayCTID]

Either loan for Palmer or permanent for Phillips.

 

[MarsLlama]

Can't see it if it's going to be upwards of £70m.

Bluemoon accountants out in force.

Cityzens have high standarts

 

[BlueHammer85]

Not sure how anyone can judge a player who obviously likes a through ball based on a season trying to slide in the likes of Antonio. No disrespect to West Ham but it’s obvious that up top has been a huge problem for them for years.

Sorry, that's not true.
Antonio has carried our team playing up front, his work rate, strength and battling has won us many games.
It's no coincidence our most successful period in recent PL history is whilst having Antonio up top.

 

[Skrastins]

We've replaced Declan with Alvaraz... I prefer Mexican Rice.

Mexican Rice and Kalvin double pivot would work for you guys tbf, i think Kalvin plays best when there is second CDM like in england squad with Rice

 

[Blue warrior]

Second saga of the summer incoming a club who doesn’t want to sell maybe Paqueta forcing a move helps but that little poisonous dwarf will be a fucker to deal with.

 

[bondsman]

I am not knocking posters reasonings why they don't want Paqueta (the same for me and Gvardiol to some degree) or rate him that highly but the same could be said about the Kovacic signing.

Compare their CVs. Kovacic for the money we paid is mega business. Paqueta is an exceptionally average player.

 

[applejuice]

Never stood out to me and just read West Ham paid 51m for him! If we are interested in him pep must see something in him! But have my doubts we interested enough to pay 70m+

Someone mentioned that if West ham sold him, part of the money will go to Lyon. Then it makes sense to ask for 70m. Does it worth it? idk... anyway not my money.

 

[Gumzy97]

Tolmie said he expects two more to come in , so if Paqueta is one of the players , who’s the other?

Grealish wasn't particuarly impressive at Villa but we paid Villa their valuation.

He was head and shoulders their best player and had been for sometime.

Mitoma.

 

[richards30]

No way this has come out of the blue and already been mentioned there were talks last week? Maybe Palmer or Phillips in the deal?

 

[richards30]

Mitoma.

Mitoma and Paqueta in would be a hell of a boost to the squad, keep Mcatee as well?

 

[RayCTID]

He was head and shoulders their best player and had been for sometime.

Still not that impressive stats. Similar to Paqueta. When given time Grealish did show what he was worth.
