Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Tevez City]

Waste of money & space.

 

[Skrastins]

This will sound arrogant but his head will be turned now. He's got the chance to play for Pep and challenge for honours or stay for what looks like a tough fight for the Hammers. City should get their man if they really want him. If City think he's good enough then £70m is probably the going rate.

In todays market it seems appropriate

He's also already won a trophy with West Ham

What does this say about Foden if we get paqueta?

That he'll play mostly on the wing. Given Pep's comments last week and the fact that we're not linked with a single Mahrez replacement, I'd say that was likely anyway.

 

[grim up north]

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

Is that the same as a barge pole

Lol. I’d say posters clamouring for him to play centrally should give it up. It will never happen under pep. It would be Kovacic and silva for LCM and KDB and Paqueta for RCM with Foden as primary RW.

He has but West Ham are weaker than they were last season. Looking like a relegation fight at the moment

 

[grim up north]

Wow, 70+ Mill for him and people were complaining about Kovacic for 30

If he is for the centre and Phil pushed out onto the wing then Phil has every right to be properly pissed off

why

 

[mattcity5]

What an absolutely rubbish buy this would be.

The guy was terrible last season and barring an assist in the conference league final, was turgid for West Ham.

He's materially worse than every midfielder we have bar Phillips.

Odd that a quick look on the West Ham forums shows me that they love him then...

I'm still of the opinion that he'll end up there but I think it will be after Kev leaves and when we've got better options already on the wings.

But who knows. He still demands the ball to feet way too much instead of looking to make space for others or thinking a few passes ahead.
