Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Cobwebcat]

He has obviously been advised he should play by his agents. As of yesterday he said he’d rather not play. Things can change.

Silly me.

Gundogans position, think he’s capable of about 8 / 10 goals and some assists in the league. Playing alongside KDB or Foden.

Yep. At the world cup he played in that position for Brazil in front of Fred and Casemiro . Nominally as a Ten but then dropping actually played more as an eight.

Could play false nine if needed or an inside winger.

The thing is with these players like Paqueta they should have stipulations in there contracts stating if a top 4 club comes in for me I can leave for X amount of money, signing these contracts with Neanderthal owners and managers means your hamstrung if you wanna leave.

It's weird he agreed to a buyout that comes in next season of 85m offer 90m with a few days left of the season

West Ham love to talk don’t they? Small minded clubs who find themselves in the spotlight.

Set the fee city and walk away. Bound to be another player we can find in Europe.

Why don’t they try to improve their own team and not sell their best players every season?

Gateway clubs have become greedy.

Agreed.
Set our fee, and let the player agitate big time, if he wants the move as much as we’re led to believe. They have an asset who’s sat in the stands cos he’s “injured” and not putting it in in training, then they’ll really have a decision to make.

Hope City walk away from the trap of massively overpaying for 1 player.

Valverde can be had for probably less than what West Ham are asking.

He plays for Madrid, minimum 120m for a road runner. I've seen Valverde play and if he didn't play for Madrid he wouldn't even be an option

Thanks buddy

Also played a lot at RW at Lyon so he's very versatile. Probably mainly a CAM or Gundo style role for us. Or Kev replacement as needed.

You are on a thread where some are praising how well £90mil worth Paqueta did in a 1-1 draw with Bournemouth. Course he would be an option

There is no way Madrid sell Valverde even for over 100m.

It's like us selling Rodri.

Valverde is such a key player for them.
