Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[mancityscot]

Are we?

reckon so. I just cant see us agreeing to west ham's demands

 

[Keeper!]

The only question for me is "does he improve us"? If so, leave the cost to those managing the money

Technically he would fit in well in this team and from reports he was the mentality and workrate to go with it.

 

[Damanino]

these prices thrown around makes me think even if we get an offer for Bernardo for 85m GBP which is unlikely we should go back and say we wont even consider anything under 135m.

I think Paqueta would be a good fit but would offer them Phillips and 20m or walk away. 80/90m seems odd as he isnt a fixed starter imo. he would get about 15 maybe 20 starts in PL in our team and not 35+. that only kind of happens to Rodri, KDB, Haaland, Ederson if injury free all season.

Why are people saying we will walk away we didn’t walk away from Gvardiol? Why would we walk away from Paqueta? Especially if Pep wants him.

I wonder if Sunday opened the clubs eyes a bit about the depth in the squad and lack of creativity if KDB and or Foden isnt available?

 

[Ruzzles]

Wait so people on here was moaning about how we need to sign a player with creativity and now we're linked with a player that is very good at it but now they dont like it?

He's perfect as well with his versatility, creativity and work rate. Couldn't care less how much he costs

 

[Haaland94]

Good, this is much needed to push West Ham. I really like it when players are desperate to join as well. Apparently, Gvardiol took a pay-cut out of his hefty bonuses to make the deal happen. Love it.

 

[mosssideblue]

If we’re playing £70+ million he’s a starter. So where does Foden play? We don’t need that type of player.

More than enough games per season for all to get a fair share

sliding doors moments in life and this is Paqueta`s!

 

[grim up north]

For years pep has said that he’s had gundo, David silva, Kevin, Bernardo ahead of him for the central spots. Years later to now and both silva and gundo are gone with Kovacic in for the LCM role meaning there is one spot open which also happens to be the RCM role. Presumably if would have been Phil to fill that hole but with the news of paqueta it seems like he would be the one to take the spot, once again resulting in Foden being crowded out and having to play wide.
