Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Tevez City]

Or Paqueta is just a better fit for what we want to do. Kudus to me looks like a Ayer who'd be a star at a Midtable team, but never really have that quality at the highest level.

Paqueta looks like a skillful player who can make it at the top.

Paqueta wasn't even star at Midtable team

CM of Rodri, Bernado, Kovacic, Paqueta, Wirtz, Mcatee. Might be a lovely 6 to have.

Everybody demands minutes. Not all want to learn and stay on bench

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

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

Brighton haven’t kept any players that wanted to go, have they? Caicedo could have gone in January, I suppose, but got a pay rise to stay until the summer.

They sell them, but for mega money.

Players might be worried that Bloom may say no, but a reasonably high release clause of say £100m could be a decent compromise for all.

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:

He plays in the Dutch league, though. The standard in that league is 10 times worse than the Premier League. That's why these stats can be so misleading. Right now, he is nowhere near Paqueta.

I like paq but my biggest fear is if we spend the money this summer what happens next when a wirtz is available

We need our EDS not to lose all their games 5-0 this season. Selling 4-5 of them each season finds at least one big signing.

 

[Tb1981]

So it looks like in this window we have got a Bernardo replacement and got the main man to sign a new contract as well
We have kept walker and told Bayern to fuck off
Signed the best young centre half in world football
Signed a quality centre midfielder
Sold a few youngsters for top money

The only downside to this window was gundogan

All in all not too bad
