Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Tugay One Cup]

Sets us up nicely for Bruno if things go wrong at Newcastle.

Although I've got to say I doubt that will happen. They look like they're setting themselves up really well.

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

They've got £105m burning a hole in their pocket.

BBC say 36.5m

Going to be a big threat next season and are obviously going to keep investing going forward.

Because City always do kneejerk signings

Are you saying you don't want him coz we didn't go for him quickly enough?

Tracking back though?

I’m saying that this link is reactive. A week ago Doku was the replacement and last month it was Veiga. And I’d rather have Foden there and sign and actual winger

BBC says that West Ham paid £36.5m for him, so where did this £51m figure come from? If that's the case, then £70m seems like a figure they might accept.

Think £36.5m is the initial fee, not including add-ons which was around £14m. Hence, the total fee of £51m.

Good question! tough to answer. Both World Class and different styles for sure.

Paqueta better creativity, touch and vision.

Rice better engine, box to box and defensively.

Really hard to say, but i'd keep Rice if we had the choice.

If Rice is being touted as WC than the phrase has no meaning anymore.

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

Well let's hope Philips has got the message now and agree to go

I am both looking forward to and so not looking forward to playing them in a week or so.
