Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Blue and true]

I’m sure they’ve already done that mate but Phillips wants to stay? Can’t force him out but Pep ain’t gonna play him

True. But surely Phillips wants to leave at this stage. We're at the point now where his international career will crumble also. I'm sure he'd pick up a similar salary at Wham United, along with regular game time.

Mighty impressive.

West Ham are gonna ask for 100+ aren't they?

100m, the games gone fucking mad

100m, the games gone fucking mad

In all fairness, in a market where Caicedo is 115m and KDB is probably out for a while, AND Pep has wanted Paqueta for a while, i can see 85-100m being justified in our poisition.

KDB is once of generation talent, people think talent like him will be so easy to identify is going to have reality check very quick.

Not sure many think that, mate.

However Merlin, Yaha, Aguero and others were “irreplaceable”. We’ve coped by assimilating players with slightly different attributes rather than always like-for-like replacements.

An example that springs to mind is Rodri for Fern. Nothing like each other but both do/did superb jobs.

Very very good defensive performance .. Lads a cam and yet a better cdm than the ones going for £100+ mil.
How many bullseyes the club got to hit before people stop doubting the players we target?

Oh, i know its the market and he does seem like a talent but the games still barking fucking mad with these transfer fees

Agreed! We need him though and i think he'll be worth 85-90 mil, like Jack eventually showed.

 

[dadnlad]

they'll get release clause price a year early

Should actually be a fair valuation... 85-90 mil and they get a fair price on Palmer (30). But im afraid they see our desperation and push it.
