Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Bellamy's Caddy]

Anyway Paqueta. I'll be honest I've not seen that much of him.

Same with me. If he signs would he be played out wide, as a Mahrez replacement? A wide player is the biggest need for us at the moment, as well as competent cover for Rodri, as it seems, Phillips is not trusted.

A guy with probably 0 Football IQ!?

How did you figure that one out? What criteria are you using to figure out he has an IQ of 0?

 

[super_city_si]

Not convinced by this. Where will he play? We need wide men not more mids.

 

[Kamaro011]

He can play as wide player ala Jack Grealish if needed.

If we buy him then Foden and Bernardo will join Grealish playing wide, keep Palmer too and thats plenty of wide men.

I know it's just clips but you can see why Pep wants him. Good close control, creative , but also works hard in midfield pressing really wants to win the ball back

 

[super_city_si]

is that his position? I thought he was more central? If wide then i can see it. Hes a tidy player. Just dont think we need another ‘10’ type player

I have some empathy for West Ham fans. They finally win a trophy and then their owner conducts a fire sale. Pretty miserable situation in a lot of ways

A bit like us in the 80s and the 90s. Good club, decent fans…. **** of an owner.

£30mil is no way a good deal

The rags are laughing their way to the bank

The guy is atrocious and they are begging for someone to take him off their hands

Wasn't there a report that they were trying to buy out his contract so he could go for a free

£30mil!! £30mil is mental, Moyes is out of his mind

I think Blockhead to the Hammers for £30m is a brilliant deal all round. He's finished at ManUre & has become the latest boo boy for the toothless, barefooted, Old Toilet knuckle draggers.

Moyes is evidently trying to rebuild a team for now, not for the future, because if he hadn't have won the Europa Conference League, his position would've been under serious threat.

McTominey, Maguire & Ward-Prowse for less than the price of Rice is smart business imo.

another dumb transfer story/rumour

last year he was available for £50m & after an average/disappointing season it would be shocking/ low iq from us to even consider a transfer and even more so at a higher price than WH bought him

 

[g180aj]

I’m happy about the possibility of us signing him because I live in Liverpool with a 3 year old called Lucas having a player called Lucas might help him not be swayed by who his mates support

You know at this point Pep will not play conventional pacey winger anymore and prefer player like Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva in the wings.

So i can get why our club wants Paqueta because he can play in there.

Ok

 

[oldius]

I cannot get my head around the vicious criticism from some posters about players like Phillips and Gomez. Our team cannot be made of 22 Galacticos - it doesn't work - and to condemn a player who suffered a serious injury in his first season at the club really offends me, and I hope anyone who believes that when you support a club, you support its players.

If we are lucky enough to buy this player, who I have not really noticed too much, then it is cool, and he will get all my support too.

Class of 22…

More the fact that Bernardo and Phil can play there and Paqueta playing more centrally.

 

[oakiecokie]

Haha. He's been sunning himself in Jamaica last week but he now smells a big pay day.

Well I for one hope he gets it as I rate the lad.

He is a better player now after a season in England and the Premier league, makes sense his value is higher.

 

[mosssideblue]

30 mil for a England Centre back that cost Man Utd 88 mill.
yeh mental.

Why is he only £30m if he's as good as you're saying?
