That's just a fuck off price to Tottenham. It should stop Tottenham offering £80mil and expecting Brighton to come around.

Good to see Scott Carson in there.

Hurriedly in general or hurriedly for us? We pulled out of the Rice deal end of June and we are now pulling out of the 3rd choice 6 weeks later. At least a month is Usain Bolt speed for us.

There is no way we can negotiate a £50mil plus deal in 2 weeks

The first question for any top player we are linked with is do they have a release clause. If the answer is no the chance is pretty much none.

Probably the same fans who assume he will score a ton of goals because Gundogan did

Yes but he'll score 20 here this season because Gundogan did. Apparently

Given the news I am assuming we are no longer having a go at anyone who questioned why we were signing Paqueta in the first place since he was the chosen one by Pep and the club. Now it'll be FFS stop moaning its only Paqueta

Mount was about £70 mil weren't he.

I think since the Paqueta links expectations have dropped on who we could sign.

To be honest neither Maddison or Paqueta are good enough. The reason we are looking for a player who can cover Rodri is because the last player we bought from relegation fodder turned out to be 'surprisingly' shite.

Fair advice in the current economic climate

I agree with what you are saying. Guess that says more about how much I rate Paqueta I suppose.

Then why aren't they this season. We missed out on Bellingham, tried for Rice and have seemingly settled on Paqueta

I'm sure they were all over him at Flamengo. Since then he flopped at Milan, did well for Lyon who finished in the Europa league and mid table and did ok for a struggling West Ham side.

I doubt he would have been plan B, C or D either

He's being ridiculous mate. Why would we have wanted Maddison when Paqueta has less than half his goals/assists for more than double his price.

Or in the list of options we are getting to the bottom of the pile and are now limited with who we can get.

For £90mil he should be absolutely shining at West Ham but he isn't. If you ask West Ham fans who their best player is most wouldn't say he was. If there's no one available then look at a young player for potential instead. The last time we took a punt on someone playing for a team that...

The answer would be to look abroad. Caicedo and Rice are stupid money but Newcastle were able to bring in Tonali for less than 60mil
