Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[SamBlue]

Why didn't we go for him first then?

I think Paqueta move is related to Mahrez leaving, which was not the case when we did bid for Rice.

My mate who plays for the Dog & Duck on Hackney Marshes is better than Rice. He told me.

Rice, the most over-hyped British player since...Mason Mount!

I agree, but to say he's not biased is wrong.

Yeah that's true enough.

West Ham making swift moves in the market so it’s looking likely sadly. Haven’t felt this underwhelmed about a signing since Nolito

Or they’ve just received 100m for rice and are spending that…

 

[Antwerp City]

He's the full package for me.

Looks like he'll be Gundogans long term replacement.

If he has the ability to contribute with goals, if he is tidy and calm with the ball and he has a good attitude then I'm behind the signing.

At 25 he is the perfect age and Pep can have a few seasons to get him to his potential.

Then hopefully we can look at Wirtz next year as the long term replacement for KDB.

Not sure where Foden fits in though...

Isn’t he more of an attacking midfielder though? Surely Kovacic is the gundogan replacement

I'd pay 100m for him if West Ham pay us 40m for Philips

Seems like we are confident

Tolm mentioned West Ham had offered us our money back on Phillips!

@BlueHammer85 who is better Paqueta or Rice?

Different.
