Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[merz]

paqueta had 2 or 3 minutes against us where he looked world class but didn't impress me much the rest of it.. dunno.. £70mio is a lot of money but he would fit the profile if phil stayed on the wings.

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

If the Paqueta deal includes Palmer, City should also sign one winger.

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

Was their talisman

I remember being honeytrapped by the Bojinov highlights reel...

I think Olise or Mitoma over him is a better use of money. We need some pace out wide and Foden should be moved centrally

We managed to win a treble without having pace out wide.

Some people might like more pace there, but we certainly don’t need it.

The problem is he cost West Ham £51m so they're probably going to want a minimum of £85m to get a decent return on their investment.

If Pep can't trust Foden over someone like Paqueta who I don't even rate then I wouldn't fault Foden if he calls it a day and ply his trade somewhere else. There are plenty of clubs that would love to have him.

This gotta be WUM surely.

Grealish was on the short list of PL POTY candidates (8 players if I remembered correctly) in his last season at Villa. Very few non-Big6 players can get into that list. So I think that he was impressive. But most people did not believe his playing style good for Pep.

Devil’s advocate but we won 2 PL’s in a row without a striker, so we didn’t need Haaland?

Do people think this will get done?

Don't see this one happening tbh. The hammers will need £90m based on what they laid out for him a year ago, don't think he's worth that and based on our track record we don't pay over the odds anymore. They are also struggling to being people in so losing a starter of his ilk could be catastrophic for them - unless we are offering players as part of the deal

To we buy any car…

It does seem something is going on mate and with Palmer also mentioning at the weekend he didnt know if he would be staying or going and loads of media reporting the same story, numbers etc then i think this is on.

 

[Blue Calx]

Throw Phillips and Palmer at them for him..Moyes will love Phillips

 

[hammocity]

Not read much of this thread but if Paqueta is £70m I’d pay Brighton the extra £30m for Moises Caceido, at 21 he’s a better player, would have a bigger resale value and would be be a brilliant fit in our squad.

I think any midfield signing probably signals the end for Kalvin, it’s a shame as he’s a great lad but Pep just doesn’t trust him.

Philips looks like he’s a home bird, very close to his family and despite it being quite obvious his playing time will be limited I think he’s happy to sit on a wedge being only 40 mins to Leeds.
