Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

French journalist so that will be euros. But even so, pricey.

Converting to pounds, that's a £95m (guaranteed) asking price, and we've apparently offered £73.5m potentially rising to £82m.

nothing in that, this get done asap for me.

 

[Goldust]

I’d take Eze personally for probably half the price. But hey ho Pep and Tiki no more than me.

 

[TheBlueCat]

is that listed in pounds or euros?

Surely it’s Yen.

 

[Alexia_Ko]

There is no way we should be paying a record fee for this lad, i can't believe we offered £85m!!!

To be fair i haven't seen a lot of him but when i did he was the worst Brazilian i've seen since Fred!

Big exaggeration. Paqueta is better than some Brazilians in this league

 

[blueparrot]

Think he's a far better fit for us and improves us much more than either Rice or Caceido, so if that's what he costs that's what he costs.

 

[callumcity]

Really do suspect that city believe Bernardo is going to leave.

Either that or we’re definitely not signing a winger, with Phil and Bernardo banished to the right wing all season.

We’d have too many central players imo if Paqueta joined.

KDB
Phil
Bernardo
Kovacic
Rodri
Phillips

Phillips is gonna get 0 game time if he’s hell bent on staying. Foden isn’t gonna get the chances he wants in central midfield and Kovacic and Paqueta are gonna have to fight it out for a starting place.

Odd one for me, think Paqueta is brilliant though.

Feels like an under the radar guy that Pep could turn into a world beater

You can't be under the radar after costing £115m.

75 - 80 would be my expectation

 

[Haaland94]

For me, this must be in Euros. It is the reported 95m quid they want, so it adds up. I would say it is doable because we are allegedly willing to go as high as 85. Surely, we can find an agreement, especially since Cole Palmer could be a part of this deal (loan).

We're after a winger as well. Phillips is a non factor and both Kovacic and KDB (and even Foden) have had their injury problems.
