It's Quiet 18 - Wanna ring the bell?

Clubs don’t have any money though.

Being trained by Pep won’t be an advantage when playing for Moyes!

Hes not had regular competitive football for 2 seasons.

It’s a gamble for any buyer.

It's not the money clubs are bothered about, it's the bullshit FFP/PSR which is scaring many to keep their hands in their pockets.

Deadline day will be all loans and free agent signings. Sky will be gutted

Unless young Jesse Beanz and the doughnut thief finally get a club.

If West ham had to sell, they wouldn’t loan out Paqueta.

 

[Dribble]

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?

Yes, my bad. Overlooked that.

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.”

Are you being serious here
We are not going to take on the wages of a player who is
1. Injured until March
2, Staring at a long ban for betting

I’d expect if the release clause is £85m we have already boxed it off with him subject to being cleared of charges

Expect rags to now have him at the top of their list
Let’s hope he like European football

Interesting tit bit

 

[Asa's left peg]

West Ham saving the transfer window for Sky atm. Never known so much attention for a loan and a young kid!

2 goals and 4 assists in 25 apps (averaging 45mins per game, though) for them. Not cutting it for Ajax, IMO, which is why they are loaning him out to the more familiar PL. Just a guess, though.

Still a kid, probably think PL teams are gripped by the ‘Palmer effect’

He never played in the PL so I'm not sure any 'familiarity' is going to help him. Be interesting to see how much game time he gets.
