Lucas Paquetá

19 Apr 2018 — Defender Bradley Wood has been banned for six years after twice intentionally getting booked during Lincoln City's FA Cup run last season.

Paqueta’s career could be finished you know

We can safely lock this thread

Real shame, would have been a quality and very entertaining signing.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Same as Sandro Tonali now? One season ban ish?

It’s different.

It’s spot fixing, which is illegal. Cricketers have gone to prison for doing it.

 

[skillman]

Uh oh. No Paqueta it is, despite him pleading his innocence we can't stand still and wait for it to be fully resolved. Big shame, fantastic player.

Who now, then? Olmo? Bruno isn't the same type of player.

Or we don't invest at all - and never really planned to - given Foden's recent brilliance centrally.

The brother of a relatively big NBA star (Michael Porter Jr.) was recently banned for life from the NBA for similar bets. It will be very interesting to see what the FA will do if there's sufficient evidence against Paqueta.

What's that? Saying he'll get booked at a certain time during the game etc?

If it's betting on him scoring/assisting then maybe not as bad? Same as betting on your team to do well and win - like Tonali's seemingly were.

I seem to remember leaks of a player being done for getting yellows on purpose a few seasons back and videos of Xhaka (guesswork) came to light but now I'm wondering if it was Paqueta.

no one was betting opn tips before on those though, they fall under different rules tbf

 

[Tricky_Trev]

Welcome to Manchester, Dani Olmo.

 

[TonyM]

I imagine he had standards but surely he knows that to kill this charge dead all he had to do was agree to sign for Liverpool or united.

 

[Ruzzles]

They didn't bet now did they. There's a massive difference there...

 

[Damanino]

well what a good timing then we didnt buy him mid summer and find out few weeks later abut this like Barcodes-Tonali.

this will make sure we are not in for him in near future or ever anymore.

 

[Keeper!]

why? he signed an extention unlit he turns 32 and has never hinred he wamt to go before then.

why does everyone believe this Bernies leaving bullshit every year.

Because he wants to play and live in Barcelona, they can't afford him, happily.

 

[Shazza458]

It’s beyond me why players do stuff like this

That sounds similar to Hansie Cronje in the 90s, whereas Paqueta sounds more like Mohammad Amir.

says who?

barca leak this every year, but never heard the lad utter the words, all bernie has said of his future is he wants to go back to Benfica at 32

 

[striver]

a blessing in disguise that is, let's move for eze lads

Read the reply earlier nothing to do with betting getting sent off on purpose, why the fuck do I bother providing info.

 

[Skrastins]

Welcome to Manchester, Dani Olmo.

For me he is more injury prone Ferran Torres

Eze is better option apart from Xavi Simons
