Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

This transfer is happening quick and it’s hard to keep up, however listen to the general feeling, no bid yet.

These guys are chancers, kept saying €120 mill, €100 mill for Gvardiol, it was £77 mill.

We offered £80 mill for Rice, this will be the max as well.
 
Daily Express say we've had an £88m bid rejected and WHU want £95m. Not sure where they got the info from but it's utter madness for a player not remotely worth the fee. Just cannot see what he brings to the team if I'm honest and I'd rather we walked away from this.
 
I, like most here I suspect, have seen very little of this player. I couldn't tell you much about him whatsoever, but we are the biggest sports business success of the decade and the most successful sports team too. If the directors are prepared to stump up all of that money on a player I don't really know, how can I possibly argue against it? I'll look forward to watching him if he arrives. If he doesn't, I won't feel I have missed out as I don't know him anyway!
 
The difference is between the bid and what they want is surely a years loan fee waived for Palmer (assuming he wants to go)
 
£50-70M is what I can see with add-ons as it reaches the higher range.

Important to consider that the style of play under Moyes is not going to show off his qualities as much as with us.

This significantly hurt Joao Felix because Simeone is not going to allow a player such as him when he was so highly rated.

Paquetta is 25 so of course, not the same but the point is you cannot shine in the same way under certain managers style of play or leadership.

I even heard someone make reference to how if we had signed Maguire his career path would be vastly different if he came to us.

We’ve seen plenty of examples of Guardiola helping mid or even late players improve.

The media was convinced we wouldn't get Gvardiol unless we paid 100 million Euros. We ended paying 90, so I don't put any stock into what they think the fee will be
 
After hearing Pep say he is a WH player. I know the interest is serious.

It won't be 50. As that's how much they paid. I expect bit to be between 70 - 80.

Maguire could not like Laporte play in this current City side, too slow on the turn and getting caught playing a high line.

Seriously?

You’re quoting the Daily Express?

The Daily Express said Princess Diana was murdered by the Royal Family as she was about to give birth to a Muslim baby.

Just because the Daily Express said it, doesn’t make it true.

In fact - I’d be more inclined to view that as confirmation the story is in fact complete bullshit.
