Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Trickyblues]

I haven't, but I am privy to both ends of this deal. The player will force the move and some.

Sullivan says he wants more than £70m, which already betrays a willingness to sell.

His agent is former City player Barry Silkman, he knows West Ham are bluffing on this one and the player has made it clear all summer he wants to leave.

Did he want to leave before City came in too?

Would not be surprised if Barry Silkman knocked on our door with the deal. Never shy in coming forward and proper east end wide boy.

I dont think Foden is allowed to be called WC as it stands because his career so far has been a bit stop start. He will be though, he will retire as being known as one of the very best. That’s not bias, that’s just watching him over the last 5 years and being able to see the very obvious.

I hope you are right. He’s ridiculously talented and has all the tools to become one of the very best.

He seems to have stagnated since being played as a false 9 and obviously a few injuries have got in the way. However, I’m not sure he has what it takes between the ears to fulfil his full potential.

You're happy with Slabby ? !!

Yeh definitely, Experienced PL player and England international.
Target of hate for the usual mob who share clips of any mistake he does.
But overall it’s a shrewd signing from us , solid defender and with JWP he could get the odd goal. COYI

I don't think that's fair in the slightest. How many players of Phil's quality would have bided their team in which he has waiting for opportunities which in the beginning came far and few between to prove his worth? All while taking every opportunity that he was given. That says it all about his mentality in my eyes.

 

[BlueHammer85]

I don't think those are bad stabilizing signings. Not the sort who will push you right up the table to challenge top 6 but Maguire & Ward Prowse are solid premier league players. Maguire got overhyped and overpriced when he went to united but could be decent for a few seasons at West Ham. Think you still need to sign a decent centre forward as you look short up front.

We do look short up front but we have a kid called Mubama who has shined pre season and looks good - if you don’t give them a chance, when can you.

Oh FFS Tolm the number of times I`ve slagged Silkman off on here .... and now I want him to do well. Always remember him a "player" and I use that word lightly, as he was awful for us.

Was it Allison who brought him to the club ?
Sun tan kid, curly perm & patrick boots ha!ha!

 

[Fordyboy46]

Get ready for the summer transfer saga part 2, if there is any legs to it

 

[leo_city]

Poor window from the club so far did not try for Mcallister, Sbolzai and now going for a player who is going to cost 90 million and is average at best

Not extending Gundogan to begin with was the biggest mistake

 

[ElMago_DSilva]

Who are these players?

Mohammed Kudus - 40m from Ajax.

I think foden will be England’s best player since gazza . I said it 6 years ago and still think it

 

[decmancity]

Like we had a choice in that.

 

[It could have been 10]

Not jumping for joy about this one. I could be entirely wrong but he strikes me as one of those supremely talented players who is a bit flaky & only turns it on when he feels like it & under certain conditions. A bit hit & miss.

 

[balotellishaircut]

Mohammed Kudus - 40m from Ajax.

Good player I agree, wouldn’t be disappointed if we went for him.

 

[mosssideblue]

Mohammed Kudus - 40m from Ajax.

And why do you think we are not looking at him?

 

[simon23]

And Phillips said no at the time. Perhaps another new body in front of him will at least get him thinking again.

Think Pep needs to have a chat and let him know straight that he aint getting in the starting 11 ahead of Rodri, Stones, Rico or Kovacic....add another player in that list as well (whether that Paquetta or anyone else)....

You would think that Phillips would look at that and see that he should leave

Think Pep has also decided that Phillips aint right for this team.....the fact that stones, Rico start ahead of him and a change to the system we are using has all shown that Phillips aint a player for this tea,

He’s targeted because he’s a bit shit. Think you’re going to struggle to stay up this season if him and Mctominay are signed.
I’d also be checking Moyes bank accounts because he has form for helping utd get rid of their shite.
Let’s face it, Maguire being an England player is all it takes for you to believe he’s the bees knees.

Maybe, but how many games has he actually dictated or changed? It’s not many and he’s now 23.

I really hope you are right. He needs to kick on and truly become that. We’re all willing it.

 

[leo_city]

Like we had a choice in that.

We did though, all he wanted was a guaranteed 3 year deal
