Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

Looks like the Pope has popped his clogs and there's a new one.

Fucking hell and he`s only been at Newcastle for a short time.
RIP Magpie.

A substantial difference for what roles Paqueta was being asked to undertake between Lyon & West Ham. Quite understandable why his goals, assists and shots per game were lower for West Ham than at Lyon.

Offer £100m+ he'd be here by weekend

Pretty sure he's said he doesnt wanna move till after the Euros now. The source on the newcastle bid was Fichajes. terrible source.

Well if my mum was the cleaning lady that does Tixi's home office I wouldn't say on here would I.

No need to be embarrassed your mum is a cleaner.

Being prepared!? Get in the bin! Being prepared could mean it goes in next week the bid

Are we still preparing the bid for Isco ??

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

so he is a mix of KdB, Bernardo and Gundo ?

Er, so far as I know, he isn't the product of AI.

 

[Plain Speaking]

Haven't got a fucking Scooby's what that means

It's basically stats of both players Gundogan and Paqueta.

Basically the further from the middle the better.
(You can see Gundogan is higher for most metrics.)

The abbreviations are measuring different categories averaged in 90 minutes. G is goals scored, xG is the expected goals scored, Sh is shots, A is assists, KP is keeping possession, xgChain and xgBuildup are slightly more complicated but are a measure of a players involvement in a sequence of events that lead to an expected goal, so related to creativity.

(A longer explanation of last 2 metrics given at: https://statsbomb.com/articles/soccer/introducing-xgchain-and-xgbuildup/)

What has Maguire got to do with this

Tina Turner's less successful follow-up single?

I do accept that different leagues have different characteristics, however some skills and attributes can be universal, it's why clubs like Brighton can unearth hidden gems on a regular basis. Paqueta is older he's played in Brazil, Italy and France, he's only had one full season in the PL himself. You can analyse and compare different players, ages and different leagues and competitions. Kudos has favourable underlying stats, even allowing for the Eredivisie, he's played in the Champions league and last season scored 4 goals in 6 games!

Had Cucurella & Mitoma signed for City before Brighton got them cheaply, they would have the had similar opportunities in the 1st team to Gomez & Angelino.
