Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

Maybe nobody wanted 3 weeks ago was hyperbole. But definitely nobody was suggesting we outlay more than Bellingham ended up going to Real Madrid for on Paqueta at the start of the window. I actually reckon Inter would snap our hands off if we put that fee down for Barella, without offering Cole aswell.
Inter probably would but Barella has shown zero desire to leave. You can't force a transfer and Italians in the prem don't have the best of records, higher chance of him being back on loan in 18mths with a no obligation and us paying his wages.

Paqueta is already settled in the prem, will be moving to Manchester with a network of friends and fellow brazilians around him and joining the best club side in Europe.
 
FWIW I dont really give a fuck what we pay, its not my money. But Im a fully paid up member of the Cole Palmer fan club. The lad is an absolute diamond in my opinion and I wouldn't sell him for 150 million let alone as a makeweight

What if WH gave US £80m and Paqueta for Palmer. Would you consider it?

I'm with ya. With some players, it isn't about the money we'd get. It is about one of your own blossoming into a world class player, a symbol of the club. There is a romance to being a fan that is beyond business.

Exactly, we have a young lad who has immense ability. Looked head and shoulders the best player for an England U21 side that won the Euros. His path to the first team is clear with Mahrez gone and people are happy to cart him out the door for the shiny new toy. Don't get it.
