Mostly driven by the player i think. Paqueta probably saw West Hams movement and didnt see the point. City just needed to know which players were leaving etc. Now they know Beranrdo and Walker stays... They move...Why didn’t we go in for this guy start of the season. Exploring options like making one single bid for Rice, then Viega and now Paqueta. Can’t say it’s some clear targeted plan.
