Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Paulmcfc2703]

months ago when jack reported city interest in madison people here didnt want him and now they do

I think since the Paqueta links expectations have dropped on who we could sign.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

Save it shorty. Paqueta's coming you wallflower...

And will no doubt make "we should have signed Madison" look like one of the all time great mad transfer predictions.

 

[Georgian Maestro]

It's a bit harsh to say he's done nothing in the Premier league. I thought he was West Ham's best player in the second half of the season.

Last time I was on this thread, people were half excited he was coming, get him in, pep knows etc.

Now it is back to overrated, not good enough, average, overpriced, the samba maddison, etc.

What happened? Other than he played a game, by all accounts, quite well.

You would think pep is fucking clueless

Can someone remind me what Kevin De Bruyne, Gvardiol, Ruben Dias, Rodri, Laporte, Bernardo acheived in the Premier League before we spent a lot of money on them?

not to mention big erl, he had done fuck all in the premier league

Does Ward-Prowse joining make it easier for this deal?

Does Ward-Prowse joining make it easier for this deal?

potentially yeah as theyve just signed two new midfielders, if they get palmer in as part of the deal , theyve rebuilt their midfield

I guess the point is that he has spent time in the premier league whereas the others with the slight exception of KDB haven't.

Still the market seems to have gone nuts and we have to live with it . If he is the best realistic player available and we need a midfielder we will have to overpay compared with historic norms.

He spent 1 season disrupted by the world cup, in a new country learnign a new language, and by the end of it he was looking like arguably West Ham's best player and helped them win a first trophy in 40 years.

Someone explain how I'm supposed to think that makes him a bigger risk than the many players we've signed from abroad?

 

[Sir peace frog]

Can see us walking away from this deal unless West Ham lower their over inflated value of him

how much have they quoted ? do me a favour and tell me the west ham price, not the twitter price though.

flapper on bluemoon, reckon west ham will want 90m for him

all the other flappers run around squawking hes over priced , we should pay x amount because hes not as good as masonmount init (bit of a rap there :) )

His creativity won them the conference trophy
