Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

He’s played quite well in the games I’ve seen. Difficult to judge how it would work out with us but if pep wants him, he must be good enough.
 
you could argue that his issues at West Ham are related to Moyes rather than the player. He was young when he went to AC Milan and didn't fit in there.

When I've watched him in the prem he is too slow on the ball, doesn't seem to be suited to faster football which is possible why he did well in France, got more time on the ball as it is a very poor league. He strikes me as a highlight reel player, the odd moment of genius but generally inconsistent and drifts through most games in the prem with little impact

If Pep has said that is who he wants and the club go for him then so be it, not a signing that generates any joy for me but ho-hum
 
City has bid 70m according to Ge
Supposedly very reliable for all things Brazil.

"Manchester City have made a £70m (R$437m) bid to West Ham to sign Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paquetá. The London club have yet to respond to the offer but are expected to turn it down and ask for a higher figure.

The information was published by TuttoMercato and confirmed by ge. Paquetá, 25, was signed by West Ham in August last year for 51 million pounds. With the departure of Declan Rice, the Brazilian is one of the main players in the squad. The Hammers hope to earn more from a possible sale of the former Flamengo man.

Paquetá scored five goals and seven assists in 41 appearances for West Ham in his first year at the club and was one of the standout performers in their Conference League title campaign, their first trophy in almost 40 years. This season, he has taken over the No10 shirt following the departure of Lanzini, who left for River Plate.

Guardiola's interest in Paquetá is nothing new. The ex-Milan and Flamengo has been an option at Manchester City since last year, when the Brazilian was at Lyon. At the time, an onslaught was conditional on a Bernardo Silva exit, which did not occur.

This year, the proposal was made effective, even without the certainty that the Portuguese attacking midfielder will be traded. The reigning Champions League winners have made only two signings this season: midfielder Kovacic, formerly of Chelsea, and defender Gvardiol, from RB Leipzig.

Paquetá is beloved by West Ham fans and is unlikely to press for a possible exit. He hopes the deal will also be advantageous to the London side. The Hammers make their Premier League debut this Saturday, away to Bournemouth."

I just bought a car from Lucas Pagueta. Worth buying for the song at the services on the way to Wembley.
