Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[youngbob]

Would not be against this at all. Watched him a few times last season and it was fucking impossible to get the ball off him. Grealish levels of control.

 

[Keeper!]

The transfer strategy for forwards seems abit chaotic. Gvardiol and Kovacic was clearly targeted. The rest just seem to be bouncing around random players.

lol

Tixki does not do random, he is a cold, calculated operator.

 

[Plain Speaking]

on what planet do you think laporte would be remotely interested in joining a team likely facing relegation next season? get in the real world

Show some respect! West ham won a European competition last season, although its true they did struggle in the league with the extra fixtures. I think they should normally be mid table/top half with the right leadership and players. They have been linked with Maguire, the most expensive defender in PL history, I think Laporte would be a better deal for all parties. I have always been fond of West ham and both sets of fans seem respectful. Maybe we can develop a club relationship that can be mutually beneficial?

 

[waspish]

Eze from Palace is younger and won’t cost as much, plays a similar role, maybe experience is vital, but we should try for him if this falls through

Now he stood out when I watched palace this lad at West Ham never stood out to me

 

[oakiecokie]

I once played a through ball that spilt a five man defence with ease, it was on Ashton Grammar football pitch, I didn’t get any offers of a professional contract on the back of that pass, strange really.

To be fair hammocity it was a back pass. ;)

 

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

Westham will be a nightmare to deal with. This wont happen imo

 

[Delphinho]

Fuck that then

Then take that 70m and throw it at Inter for Barella. Bet they can’t afford to reject that offer

 

[Haaland94]

Now this is a transfer I would really like to see. 70 mil seems a reasonable price for a player of his age and quality, when former City academy players's asking prices are £30-50 mil.

Yeah, I don't know why people act shocked. 25-year-old starter for Brazil, and they want him for what, 50m in the current market? Laughable. 70m is very reasonable, IMO. Rice set the market prices.

 

[Great Kompany]

So we are going to a club who just lost a midfield Gem with season to start in 4 days and as a policy we won’t overpay or get in a bidding war.

This deal isn’t gonna happen, is it!

Laporte isn't going anywhere that doesn't involve Champions League football.

Not City level, IMO.

Paqueta vs Eze | Compare players

Who is better? What about Freekicks, number of shots on target and Playmaking? Check out if Eze or Paqueta is over all more valuable for the team

Doesn’t tell the full picture though tbh

 

[Haaland94]

I reckon if there was any chance of getting him, we would have done it by now, surely.

 

[Iamthemusicman]

Really liked him at Lyon. Not seen much of him at West Ham but was impressed when we played them at home last season.

£80m does not even come close to justifying his value, and they’d want majority of it up front like Rice

 

[Prophet of Doom]

Transfermarkt value him at £39 million which is only £1 million less than WHFC bid for Gallagher who is Opta’s most similar player.

Only a guide but £40 million seems reasonable. £85 million seems laughable….for that money we could get a better player from outside the PL. The PL is the problem.

This is spot on. Embarrassing that we are even thinking about this at £70m never mind any amount above that.

No idea what has gone on this Summer but this is farcical. Scrambling round a couple of days before the season starts with mental offers for average players.

Imagine spending £200m in a Summer with Gvardial Kovacic and Paqueta to show for it after missing out on Bellingham and Rice.

I normally say wait till the end of the window but I’d already have Txiki hung up by his testicles for the shitshow this Summer.

Unless, Saudi comes calling :). I wouldn't blame him for it too.

We obviously don't want Barella or he's not available, otherwise he'd already be a target.

Nonsense.

 

[deano ou812]

He cost the hammers £51 mill apparently so the £70 mill quoted sounds fair to me making 19 mill profit after 1 season ..
