Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[oakiecokie]

Sky saying WHU won’t consider selling for less than £85m don’t think this will happen.

Some "middle ground" will be reached.

 

[Otamendi's Beard]

Will be the end for McAtee if he comes in. But can't see it at the prices quoted.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Be annoyed if we do sign him. He's been a differential pick in my fantasy team since the first draft!

 

[i8rags]

This lad is quality, nearest thing to gundogan I’ve seen, keeps the ball moving quickly, would love it

 

[mancboy]

85m hahahahah

 

[Cobwebcat]

I bet they do

 

[MCFC-alan88]

What’s the old saying? In Pep we trust. If he wants him, who am I to question it?

 

[TheThirdDeano]

You haven't seen us play West Ham recently then and obviously didn't watch Brazil in the World Cup.

I didn’t actually no, was he good?

 

[burning blue soul]

Different players though mate who play in different positions?

To be fair, Pep has played Bernie at left back, so all that "different positions" can be chucked in the bin with regard to midfielders. Who knows what Pep has going on in his noggin?

 

[Scoobz3]

Surely they would want Phillips the other way and it would be a good opportunity to get him out … needs pushing if this deal is possibly on

 

[BlueHammer85]

85m hahahahah

For a 25 year old World Class Brazilian international ?

 

[hammocity]

Kovacic is more than capable of playing as a 'number 6' if necessary

He’s 29, Caceido is 21, future proof signing for £15m more than a flakey Paqueta, I don’t advocate chucking shit loads of money around, £85m for Paqueta is ridiculous, can’t see us going for a deal at that price.

 

[Le Havre Oswald]

What’s the obsession with how much we pay? Who gives a shit

 

[Cotton Weave Blue]

Probably means that Moyes doesn’t

 

[PragueBlue]

I didn’t actually no, was he good?

Not world beating but decent enough. Doubt we'd pay £85M for him though but who knows?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Has anyone said, "Who am I to argue if Pep wants him" yet?

What’s the old saying? In Pep we trust. If he wants him, who am I to question it?

According to Opta Paqueta is most similar to Connor Gallagher. Only of interest because….

Conor Gallagher: West Ham's £40m bid for Chelsea and England midfielder rejected

Conor Gallagher has two years left on his Chelsea deal and Mauricio Pochettino sees him as part of the squad; West Ham held talks with Scott McTominay but there is a gap in valuation with Man Utd; James Ward-Prowse pursuit expected as Hammers seek two midfielders to replace Declan Rice

[zandvoort blue]

A deal including Phillips would be ideal.

The realisation is the fee WHU got for Rice will inflate all other transfers. Is he as good as Rice, in my opinion yes. Is he worth paying £80 million plus, no. But there again it`s not my money.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

He has but West Ham are weaker than they were last season. Looking like a relegation fight at the moment

That’s quite a shout!

Luton and Sheff Utd haven’t strengthened yet and if they don’t, they’re both gone with less than 25 points.

Wolves are in far more turmoil, have lost their manager and can’t afford to buy anyone.

Everton are much worse than West Ham, as are Forest should Johnson leave.

youd have to be looking at the same price as guimaraes wouldnt you to be fair
