Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Coatigan]

Paqueta isn't bang average. Come on pal.

We seriously need numbers in the door at this point. The Rodri comments about him playing too many games is a concern for us and a concern for Pep. It doesn't matter who comes in the door, we just need bodies at this point.

You do realise we are currently one over the allowed 21. That is excluding Foden, who is club trained, and Palmer, McAtee,Bobb, etc who are B-list youth.

Quality or balance might be up for debate in terms of what's lacking, but numbers, as things stand, really isn't.

Soriano has said that if you going to have a down time as a club it's better of being on the back of winning titles..

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.

I’d say the Gundogan/Kovacic comparison is very arguable, not because Kovacic isn’t a good player, cos he is, but because Gundogan was a proven and reliable source of goals, assists and ideas. Not with you on McAtee or Bobb particularly either. One hell of a step up from Sheff United to being a semi regular starter for the champions of Europe. May have to go with it though, the way things are shaping up…..

But thats not how successful businesses work mate? Thats just your personal view and are now happy to sit back because we done the treble. Every year you need to push to be better.

Tbf, you do sound like my boss at work ;-)
Relentless improvement, no matter how well you do, it needs to be more. Nothing is ever enough etc etc

If Paqueta is any good why haven't Chelsea bought him?

​

​

Now we have pulled out the media be talking about how fantastic he is and what a world class player he and that's what we missed out of..

Khaldoon said Champions League Final, Wembley lol.

Kovacic has never been a creative player . Not at Madrid or Chelsea. He’s brilliant at holding the ball and progressing through midfield best in Europe at it . That’s what he’s amazing at he’s not a creative player

Gundogan was the same! Let's see Kovacic this season see if he contributes with goals and assists

 

[chesterbells]

Pfft, Bernie staying made my transfer window anyway

Is that 100% officially confirmed now mate?

Did West Ham bump up thr price after Kevs injury announcement which might have pissed City off.,?

That's a good shout

 

[wolviedinho]

Surely something wrong with him

It’s confidential mate -:)

Probably wanted to get his winky out but as Kyle is the captain the deal fell apart.
