Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

Hope City walk away from the trap of massively overpaying for 1 player.

Valverde can be had for probably less than what West Ham are asking.

Wrong about the cost of signing Valverde I think he actually costs more than Paqueta as he's too much of an important player to Real, although not as good as Bernardo Silva he's very much like their own version of Bernie. His importance to Real surely isn't going unnoticed by them so he isn't going anywhere, I'd be extremely surprised if he didn't cost more than Paqueta right now too.

We want Paqueta because we think he could play a Gundogan/Bellingham type role in our midfield, he has great vision perfect one touch passing for top link up with our attacking players and grafts defensively too. Valverde is a brilliant versatile gritty and technical player full of energy who I'd take in an instant, but like Bernardo I'm not sure he's suited to the advanced role in our midfield whereas Paqueta could be perfect.

I'd still defo take Valverde but doubt Real would be stupid enough to actually sell him, personally don't think there's the slightest chance at all that he leaves.
I could be wrong there but I think, 1) he's too important, 2) they'd be extremely stupid he's probably valued more by them than you think, and 3) most importantly the player defo doesn't wanna leave them.

If Federico Valverde becomes available at some point I'd be a huge advocate for his potential signing because he's a great player, first though we need to address the box to box role with a hardworking attacking midfielder.
Lucas Paqueta fits this particular role much better for us than him and he also wants the move here too, but I admit Valverde would be a great addition for us if that's ever possible at some point.

West Ham love to talk don’t they? Small minded clubs who find themselves in the spotlight.

Set the fee city and walk away. Bound to be another player we can find in Europe.

Why don’t they try to improve their own team and not sell their best players every season?

Gateway clubs have become greedy.

This is absolute shite. West Ham are a decent traditional club who actually won a trophy last season. We're not entitled to take their players off them without it being a decent deal just because we want to.

"Gateway clubs". Fucking hell.

Our fans need reminded constantly that our club are not entitled for anything and must work very hard to earn it or we are not different than those raggies and dippers type of fans that we constantly making fun off.

He’s West Ham’s player. They can do what the fuck they want regarding his transfer fee.
If we want him bad enough then we will have to pay top dollar. No point whinging at the selling club, they owe us nothing.

True but reading between the lines this will get done! I'm going for £90m

Probably not far off. He’s their prize asset now Rice has left and I’ve no doubt they will only sell when we hit that kind of fee.
Season has kicked off and they will be fully aware of the trouble they could be in this season if they can’t recruit decent players to replace what they have lost.
