Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[samuelyeboah]

He didn't have a particularly bad season either. Arguably better than Bernardo's, Rodri's, Jack's, Mahrez', Cancelo's, Gundo's first seasons with us.

We were in for him last year, Pep is rumoured to have been watching him for some time. He has had very good seasons with Lyon before landing at WH. So I imathere is something there the club are looking at.


I would be much more comfortable with that, i.e a very good and proven player that has had an average season, than an average unproven player, that has had a couple of months of excitement to show (like Mitoma). Although the way things are going, we may end up with both.

Hopefully he gets off to a great start

If Palmer goes, whether on loan or permanently, a new winger/attacking player is inevitable imo.

If Palmer goes & We sign Paqueta, wouldn't that mean that Bernardo & Phil will share right wing duties

Chelsea bid is imminent.

Looks like it may have been removed, or I can't see it. Either way I'm going to take a positive out of that.

Same , it was there an hour ago, so hopefully someone enjoying his freedom from school too much.

I think if he were to stay, yes. If he goes, I personally can't imagine us not signing another. Happy either way obviously.

...If we can get Phillips in there too then brilliant. Surely he’s taken the hint and isn’t still clinging to the second season syndrome - still can’t believe he actually mentioned that himself, shows a lack of mentality IMO. Like he’s living more in hope than in belief.

Where do you get all that information from? I mean that could all equally be not true.

I mean I'm no Phillips fan but I heard all the same shit about rodri and so many other players that went in to win a treble.

It's almost as if our owners know more than the fans in how to run a club?

It is easier to be main man in Chelsea rather than City just saying.

Try telling that to all the decent players Chelsea have released or sold this pre-season. \0/

 

[mosssideblue]

I think he's a good player but I am always a bit concerned about spending what is a considerable amount of money for a player who didn't have the greatest season

No point in being concerened over things you have no control of. We pay people well to manage the budget

think those days are gone where brighton is concerned, rumours that the kudus deal is delayed because he is wanting a release clause in the contract, while tony bloom is a good business man of that there is no doubt this is whats going to happen with brighton signing people going forward

Bloom made this rod for his own back with the way he handled the Cucurella transfer, IMO. Obviously it ended up working out for us, but Cucurella really wanted the move to City and only ended up at Chelsea because that was his only option when that was the inflated fee Bloom would accept. Bloom effectively blocked Cucurella's move to the best team in the world and I'd suspect Cucurella holds him responsible for severely damaging his career. Other players would have taken notice.

Think some of these new members need vetting before they're allowed to come on here spouting shite

The rumor of someone injured was spot on, but it just wasn’t Kovacic
