Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Mick_]

Don't buy him in time for the weekend, thanks.

 

[Asa's left peg]

At the Theatre of Dreams, against Wolves? Surely not! Nailed on for 6th. Shite club and I love it.

Think you being generous

Nothing newsworthy for most of the day, a good sign maybe?

 

[Wretched Vengeance]

Can see Liverpool throwing 100 million on him after they missed out on Caicedo and Lavia.
Need to get it done quickly

I like the look of the guy West ham are lining up to replace him for less than half the fee, Mohammed Kudus from Ajax. Apparently Brighton were also interested, how about us exploring this option? If nothing else it might encourage them to be more flexible on the deal? He appears a better buy than Paqueta...

Last 365 days both players, Paqueta age 23 and Kudos age 21:

Kudus is wanting a release clause in his contract which seemingly fucked the Brighton move. I think more players are now understanding the need to do that going forward

Only so he can move to a big club like us with CL etc. We would likely be his dream move?

Personally feel we are being taken to the cleaners on the fee from West ham

Possibly in the future mate yeah, depending on how he goes but a realistic release clause gives him and say us in the future the chance of a deal

Unless we just go and snap him up now? Last season he played attacking midfielder, winger and centre forward, 11 goals 4 assists for Ajax in 30 games, pretty good, a lot more creative than Paqueta. We are going to miss goals this year with Gundogan and Mahrez gone and Kev out injured for a long spell?
