Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[bluemoon32]

Hope he doesn't need a year off to understand what Pep wants

 

[Zenmanc]

Can we class this as a “good source”

Apparently it's a secret.

Anyone reckon the mystery player is Felix that's why he's cancelled his contract.could be gundog replacement?

again maybe a loan?

 

[Summerbuzz]

Everything I've read suggests Felix is Barca bound - it certainly fits with Fati leaving.

 

[MCFC-alan88]

Felix would be a mistake. A true show pony.

 

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Paqueta is a far better fit for Gundos role over Felix in this system.

 

[decmancity]

No idea what’s so special about him . Rather wait and see where the Felix saga goes. Need him more since KDB is injured Imo. The CM is set in my eyes with Kovacic, Philipps, Rodri, Stones and Bernardo.

The Felix saga has been on going for 5 years. The kid has gone nowhere since he broke through. Not a chance in hell we are giving Atletico any sort of fee for him and servicing his huge wages.

If we could do Paqueta, Doku and Fati on loan that would set us up extremely nicely for the season ahead imo.

If Felix was ever an option.....that ship very much sailed when we signed Alvarez.

There’s no chance he’s cancelled his contract. He can consider it, but he only signed it in January, so has pretty much zero chance of doing so.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

It’s not your money

This.. If Lavia is worth 58 mill and Ceceido 115 mill then Surely Paquetta at 85 million is cool.

Any idea if Webster ruling would start from the initial contract or the extension sign class as a new start date?

If it counts from the original date, he could buy it out.

If Pep feels he makes us better, just sign him

“any player who signed a contract before the age of 28 can buy himself out of the contract three years after the deal was signed. If he is 28 or older the time limit is shortened to two years.“

That’s what my understanding of the Webster ruling is.

 

[yeah whatever !!]

We cant do that pal...not until we get the go ahead from the Ebeneezers on here.. how dare we.

 

[GaudinoMotors]

Have we sent the carrier pigeon with the improved offer yet?

Yeah, he signed the initial deal in 2019, but the extension in Jan. Not sure if that counts as a 'new' start date for the 3 year window.

Needs must ;)

Sometimes you just have to pay the price and swallow your pride.

He looks made for a Pep team and we are short on numbers in that midfield.

we are currently imminently thinking about possibly making an offer...............
