Lucas Paquetá

[p.taker]

Ffs there are some ridiculous suggestions on here at times.

Licking Sean Dyche’s arsehole for half an hour would be more tempting.

No one suggested it

 

[Gigant]

Exceptional player , bad news injury prone

 

[Stoned Rose]

No one suggested it

Yes they did.

Far be it from me to drag the thread back from the rim of revulsion, so to speak, but a link to a recent Guardian article that positively highlights Paqueta’s influence on play.

Hahaha. Lucas, you legend. Immediate fan favourite.

Is there anybody that doesn’t want this guy? Doesn’t strike me as a pep centre mid, not for me.

I think he'd be ideal for City & would've been a better fit than Kovacic & definitely Nunes.

He's played defensive mid in a two-man pivot, left wing, at No 8 & at No 10 for WHU, so he has the versatility Pep loves.

Personally, I'd have still done the deal for him last summer, & crossed the betting allegations bridge when we came to it.

Not a signing I necessarily want, concerns over age, ability, injuries and betting

I would’ve preferred him to Nunes and a Kovacic but neither of those were the right signing either

Why do you think that? Genuinely wondering because to me he doesn't seem to lack anything I'd expect from a City midfielder.

Played well Vs Burnley

If his coming here means that Pep will stop playing Alvarez in midfield, I would welcome him with open arms.
