Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[DeBlueLou]

Of all the teams visiting the Etihad in the Premier league last season his performance impressed me the most. His movement and passing was outstanding. I really hope we get him.

He would be a welcomed signing, but is he worth north of 70?

Are West Ham really letting him go after letting Rice go?

€70m maybe but £70m? That is robbery

They turned down 70m!? Really!? Never really took that much notice of him so tells me never stood out in games!

massively over-rated, wouldn't touch with 20ft pole

if the options are going with what we have or buying players like this I'll stick with the current squad

Why is it we linked to a player and someone with 270 posts who signed up 14 years ago comes on and posts negative posts?!

Great with both feet, good eye for a final pass, solid tackler, crazy dribbling and close control, versatile, entertaining and an eye for goal.

Literally the only real complaint I understand is the price. But if we're applying the ol' Grealish method, he's worth whatever we're willing to pay and they're willing to sell for.

Pep wanted Phillips so shows what football knowledge he knows.

Philips still has time

City allegedly offered 70 and from their fans and itks its not close to enough. A non-starter deal.

He’s twice the price of Gabri Viega

Also twice the player.

I really like Paqueta and wanted us to get him from Lyon. Can't understand why we are talking about him at £70m and didn't look at Szoboszlai's release clause though! Paqueta's last season at Lyon is better to look from an attacking standpoint but Moyes definitely made him work defensively. Here's his stats last year against AM/Wingers (played 17 times in the league) and then against CMs (played 10 times in the league):
