Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[ayrshire_blue]

Cannot believe this, we are having a mare this summer, need numbers or we allow other teams a big opportunity

We've spent over a hundred million, bought the best young defensive player in world football and his experienced Croatian international team mate who already looks like he's been playing with us for the last 7 years.

This is not a mare. Ffs

Its mind boggling Wirtz isn't even a thought for us.

Assuming Doku still happens.

Gundogan out - Kovacic in.
Mahrez out - Doku in.
Laporte out - Gvardiol in.

I don't see how we're weaker. Palmer has obviously come on leaps and bounds and McAtee and Bobb are good enough to pick up a dozen games each.

The elephant in that room is KDB being out for 12-16 weeks.

what a great move, Txiki..... clap clap

We've walked away before when a deal doesn't work for us. And guess what we've done OK haven't we! We still have 2 weeks left to look at alternatives so let's not hammer Txiki yet. The club gets it right way, way more often than it gets it wrong.

I’m more worried about what “confidential issues” means than not getting Paqueta. Wtf?

 

[Dax777]

I'm not sure useless DoFs win trebles

Last summer he brought us the best young striker on the planet. This year the best young defender on the planet.

Next year the best young midfielder on the planet. What's there not to like?

Kovacic is lesser than Gundogan
Doku isn’t done or even close
Gvardiol sure.

Still a less squad than last with Cancelo and Perrone gone.

Kdb also out for half the season… how are we NOT worse off? Haha

I think when you're trying to convince people that losing Perrone but gaining Doyle, McAtee and Bobb is a bad thing then it's very clear you're just looking for reasons too be negative.

The decision not buy enzo fernandez along with Alvarez looks even more ridiculous. Ah well at the least the club have made a huge profit selling the academy kids this summer, net spend champions you’ll never sing that,

The decision we made to not buy him even though we went for him and he turned us down for Benfica??

 

[Moss Side's Finest]

And il retort with… football is an ever changing landscape. Past success guarantees nothing. The club have had a bad transfer window, it’s ok people can admit that.

The transfer window hasn't finished
And
We've has less than good transfer windows in the past and still gone on to success.

Even the best team in the world don't always get the players they want

Its mind boggling Wirtz isn't even a thought for us.

I think he’s stated he doesn’t want to move this year after just coming back from a big injury. I think if he shows business as usual it’ll be next year where he’s the top target for a few clubs.
