Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

It’s done and dusted now mate, but he would have stayed in my opinion had we given him what he wanted. But I trust Pep and Txiki to sort it ultimately, even if I’m not intrigued by the names we’re linked to solely based on their price tags, Paqueta imo is no more than a £50-55m player at best. We can aim much higher for this price range

You stated it as fact, not as your opinion. Like you knew exactly what he wanted, and what the ckub offered. Which is based on an early clickbait tweet.

Meanwhile, the player himself has said otherwise, as have Pep and Khaldoon, so you might want to second guess your opinion. Or don't, but stop claiming the club failed to keep Gundo or failed to give him what he wanted. When they gave him Exactly what he wanted, a magical ending ahead of the new challenge he craved.
 
Seems a Pep player from what I’ve seen, can play a variety of positions. Could provide cover for Bernie if playing wide, Gundo replacement at 8 which would allow Kovacic to play 6 if needed and at last have a Rodri replacement whilst still giving us good options further forward. More I think about it, more sense it makes knowing Pep’s total football philosophy. Aside from Haaland and Grealish the rest can play anywhere, what a nightmare to plan against.

He was never going to be a success in a team managed by Moyes and that was struggling.

But did he stand out in that poor West Ham team? Reading what West Ham fans are posting, he didn't stand out constantly. If City sign him I hope he does play better more often in a much better team.

He’d never registered with me as being more than a midtable Prem player until we played West Ham at home where I thought he looked like their best player by a country mile. His first touch, skill, passing etc. were of a very high standard when I saw him in the flesh.

Paquetá was never suited to Molyes tactics. Put him in a Pep side though and you'll notice the difference
 
Not sure if its been mentioned. But hammers fans were asked in may " given the option of either Rice or Paqueta,, who would you keep" apparently the majority said paqueta

Not getting involved in the debate about him being a good signing or not. Only time will tell that if he signs for City. But a lot of West Ham fans don't seem that bothered about losing him. They would rather West Ham take the money and sign one or two other midfield players. The general consensus seems to be he had a good latter part of the season, but was pretty average the rest of the season.

Reading that a lot of their fans are not happy he is going.

It clearly took him time to settle in the PL but once he did he was quality and their best player.

It's a mixed bag, as a lot of their fans want the money to rebuild West Ham's midfield. They seem happy to sacrifice him for the right money.
