I'd still be wary about going for Paqueta even once the enquiry into him is over and it (presumably) exonerates him. We are a year on, have a different dynamic with those we have signed, and he has now missed 9 games last season and 9 games already this season through injury. When he played for West Ham against Spurs in early December, he went down with what looked like concerns over both calves, and he's now on the injured list for a calf injury. Would like to see him back fit and remaining injury free for the rest of the season if we're to match that release clause.
