I'd agree with Tolmie that he is probably below the required level.
That’s only because he’s at West Ham though, he’s a level above there players and it is rather a travesty that a player of such calibre was given to Moyes.I'd agree with Tolmie that he is probably below the required level.
Surely we would need to give up on Kalvin and convince him to go the other way? I can't see us paying that much for him. 20-30m + Kalvin would be a great deal, though.After losing Rice, no way its anything below 80
We have been keeping tabs on him for a while. It could be legit.
Ahh cool, thought it was the guy from West Ham, didn’t realise there were two of them..

No, you're right. That tweet was a year ago. Think they were just trying to say we've been interested before.
Those pesky year old tweets making me look silly :-)No, you're right. That tweet was a year ago. Think they were just trying to say we've been interested before.
I don't follow. I am saying we have been interested in him since his Lyon days.Ahh cool, thought it was the guy from West Ham, didn’t realise there were two of them..

Decent player but never been totally convinced by him (and not only for West Ham).That’s only because he’s at West Ham though, he’s a level above there players and it is rather a travesty that a player of such calibre was given to Moyes.

I'd take him. Bags of ability. But they bought him for £50m a year ago and I doubt they need any more money after the Rice sale.
Haha! I know, but I’m in a silly mood.I don't follow. I am saying we have been interested in him since his Lyon days.
Fairs. I do think Pep would probably give up Kalvin and use Lewis, Kova and Stones as Rodri backups.Surely we would need to give up on Kalvin and convince him to go the other way? I can't see us paying that much for him. 20-30m + Kalvin would be a great deal, though.
Perhaps Paqueta himself wants a move seeing how chaotic West Ham are movingI'd take him. Bags of ability. But they bought him for £50m a year ago and I doubt they need any more money after the Rice sale.
Yeah, the problem is, who is available? I reckon Paqueta in our team under Pep would reach world-class level, no doubt about it.70m Wow !
Surely for that sort of money we could a top midfield target ….but in a swap for Phillips would make some sense. With some add -ons ? Perhaps small cash to top the thing off as Phillips must have dropped in value.
He’s the right profile for us and if you’ve seen his body of work at Lyon it is quite impressive, I don’t think we’d go anywhere near 60-70m for him though, because that’s ridiculous, pay them whatever they paid for him, because a year later they’ll just waste his profile again and put him on the market.Decent player but never been totally convinced by him (and not only for West Ham).
We just have to accept at this point Kalvin is not moving.Surely we would need to give up on Kalvin and convince him to go the other way? I can't see us paying that much for him. 20-30m + Kalvin would be a great deal, though.
And not playing tooWe just have to accept at this point Kalvin is not moving.
