Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[LongsightM13]

Haha that Santi J guy is a pure bluffer

 

[Chi-town blues]

4 goals and 3 assists in 28 PL matches… hardly ripping up trees

or else he would be with his brother at arseanal.

Opinion or validity? The fee reported is the real problem.

David Orenstein is reporting our serious interest as per Steven on his YouTube channel even and Ornstein is a highly reliable source.

Well, yes, interest i there, and was said by tolmie way ahead of the pack... More opinion and validation on the fee. Because i cannot see city going from 70 milion to 88 mil in one leap. Nor do i think West Ham would decline 88m

 

[Paul1970]

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.

Correct. This transfer will be £75-85 million and it is certainly on the levels of being real and what a signing this could be

 

[PrezIke]

So now the massive fee we hear makes a lot more sense if you watch this.

Ignore the £85m in the title and listen to what he says (it's short) or read this:

1. Orenstein says there has been no formal offer made, but we have approached West Ham.
   
   
2. West Ham of course, say they do not want to sell him, unsurprisingly, even if just for positioning because...
   
   
3. He has an £84m release clause in his contract
   
   
4. BUT that only applies in 2024

So - what a surprise - the Daily Express story is a nonsense and the other report that we offered £80m+

 

[lol yank]

Citing g/a in that putrid west ham side is apples and oranges. No point.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

£88m. For Paqueta. How much would Frenkie de Jong cost

That is only relevent if FDJ wants to leave Barca, which he has apparently indicated that he doesn't.

So dead in the water before it gets off the mark ......allegedly.

 

[Paul1970]

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.

If kdb gets injured next season we struggle . We should have gone for him last season tbh . Respect your opinion though .

Bernardo managed 4 goals and 5 assists in 34 Premier League matches playing for the Champions

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

I take no notice of chancers guesswork.

Plenty on here to choose from :)

 

[Gorbachev]

What I don't understand is why have City left it this late for a £70m+ potential transfer.

The second you enter August, a £50m player becomes £70m minimum.

That's why we are seeing stupid numbers for Paqueta.

Pep must have seen something over pre-season that he just doesn't like the look of in our squad and has asked for an addition now to make amends.

More like pep has heard something from West Ham that has opened the door for this deal .

Disgusting price really when West Ham signed him for 35m, has he really doubled in value. Not a fucking chance

they paid over 50m for him

35m? What hat did you pull that out of?

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Is the first week in August late in the window? reall

Where have you got this figure of £35M from ?

Maybe, but I think if we wanted Paqueta mate we would get him, whether it is now or back in May.

No player in world football outside of Real Madrid or Mbappe is turning us down.

exactly, nowhere near late.

It’s not his worth at whu, it’s his worth to us
