It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

With only 89 minutes of League football played this season, and the last of those back on November 4, I'd be surprised if Moyes views him as ready to start; they also have a couple of tricky games coming up, which might make it hard for him to get an immediate starting berth. Looking ahead, West Ham are out of all tournaments bar the League so only have 17 games left, one of which is against us (presumably he won't play in that). As I say, for us to get anyone to pay 40 million for him in the summer, he's going to have to get into the starting eleven and excel there for a run of at least 10 games. It's up to him.
Aren't WHU still in the Europa League too?
 
If West ham had to sell, they wouldn’t loan out Paqueta.
They wouldn't want to, but would City want to do a deal for a returning player who can play CDM to cover Philips, & do a summer deal where we just give them £40m & call it evens?

It's the deal I'd be proposing. Swap both players now & give WHU their £7m loan fee back, with the make weight balance paid in July.
 
Why would they do that when they can have both for 6 months?
I'm not looking at it from WH's position, but from City's.

There's still rumours circulating we've not ruled out a move for Paqueta who evidently wants City.

It's just an offer I'd make, where WHU might think they won't get him back until March anyway, & they've got Philips until May, so why not move a potential deal forward?

It means nothing. West Ham have zero incentive to loan us Paqueta now.

”Hi, is that West Ham? Can we have Paqueta on loan for the rest of the season?”

”Yes, it’s West Ham and no you can’t.”
