Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[I'm With Stupid]

I'm pretty sure clubs have to disclose anything they're aware of, so my guess is this has literally blown up in the last couple of days.

Lawyers would have a field day if West Ham had knowingly sold him to us whilst being aware of this information.

It could literally be betting breaches related to this transfer. He wouldn't be the first to go around informing friends and family who then put a bet on.

Bloody hell City with your due diligence, should have paid what they wanted two weeks ago. Useles Txiki.

Thank fuck we didn't sign him.

I'd like to think txiki and soriano knew a little something of what's gone on, rumours travel fast in football circles.

Right city, there's a player at Crystal Palace called Eberechi Eze, he is 25 and he is absolutely class. As calm as you like on the ball, I've been raving about this kid for 18months, get him on board as I think he'll fit perfectly.

Only if there's a Plan B.

Paqueta was already plan E

There's our answer

Well , if we still want him next summer after his 6 month rest then it will be max £85m as his release clause kicks in.

Whose next on the list - Wirtz ?

Hope so

 

[Blue_Pheonix]

Wonder what the specifics are of the bets.

What about innocent until proven innocent

Looks like no goal posts were moved, shit just hit the fan for him instead
