Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Rory Bluelow]

If anyone can put a downer on a potential City transfer, Its Sky Sports. An unknown "sauce" has told SSN Chief reporter Kaveh Solhekol the deal is off.

When City were first linked with Jack Grealish, Kaveh Solekol was actually recommending in the transfer show that promotes transfers that Grealish would better off staying at Villa, because the Villa kiddywinks bought new Grealish shirts in the summer and would be disappointed.

When SSN first reported about the Paqueta interest, Dharmesh Seth started it up with "the West Ham fans will be unhappy."

They know what they are doing cranking up the anxiety in the City fanbase, yet they literally foam at the mouths when the Dippers or Manchesh Nited show interest in any players.

Great post…and every time I read ‘Manchesh Nited‘ I get Gary fucking Nevilles voice speaking it in my head ! Aarrggghhh.

If you want the best you have to pay the price

He is definitely not the best though is he? One average season does not make him ‘the best!’

The guy scored 4 goals in 142 games for Chelsea.

Pep wasn't his manager!

Jesse Lingard is on a free.

Too dear

Tbh, if the 'confidential issue' is that price being quoted Paqueta seems like just the type to completely throw his toys out of the pram and go on strike.

Really he was a model pro in the last game they played when the speculation was rife

Press conference coming up for those interested. Doubt you'll learn much though.

Tried to watch it but Pep keeps moving...

We are very very rich and desperately need him, haggling over 10-15m seems weird

Paqueta is worth about £75/77m in City eyes imo, WH want £120m I don’t know where you get £10 - 15m difference, we’ve done the right thing walking away.

Would love to have the same depth in quality as that now.

What, a 19 y/o Foden and Gundogan playing out of position? At a time when everyone on here said Gundogan wasn't good enough and needed moving on for someone better, like Jorginho? And then everyone flapped themselves to death when Jorginho picked Chelsea?

Your literally listing players like Phillips,Mcatee,Bobb,Perrone?? Just to make the squad look more sense when in reality these guys aren’t gonna play

Of course I am because they are in the squad. If you read the flapping on here they will have to play - all of them...every game - because we are so, so desperate.
