Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

Just looked on WillHill and can’t find odds for playing shit

And that's why you never see a poor bookie.

I’d like to know if West Ham knew anything about an ongoing investigation during the time that we were supposedly negotiating his transfer. Or were they in the dark? I wouldn’t put it past Dildo Sullivan to try and flog him, knowing that there was this hanging over Paqueta!

Yea but why haggle on the price then? I think and it’s only my opinion that they tried to deter us from buying Paq by asking for £100m to keep the betting story quiet. When city wouldnt go away, West Ham had to reveal the investigation. However, it also wouldn’t surprise me if the FA only told them after city stuck a bid in

Maybe not and they tried to fuck us.

How did City find out about his betting investigation?

West Ham will regret not pushing through the deal when we slapped £70m on the table, saying he’s worth £90m instead. Guess what lads, he’s worth fuck all now! Not even a penny.

TBH... I think West Ham would have been in a really bad place had they pushed it through with this pending.

And also bet on himself to score in games.

If the allegations against Paqueta are true then he is an absolute fool.

I have a lot more sympathy for Toney as he clearly has a gambling addiction.

Maybe they knew already about the investigation, but for some reason didn't tell City team. Instead they reject the first bid and demand an unrealistic price knowing that City will never pay over the odds. Who knows, i'm just guessing.

How did City find out about his betting investigation?

Maybe someone at either the FA or Premier League leaked something, as it would’ve become a whole lot messier if the deal had actually gone through. Feels like this came as a bit of a surprise to all parties. Doubt negotiations would’ve got this far if either side knew.

Paqueta gave us good odds on it coming to light. He got his sister’s uncles brother friend from his second marriage to send Txiki a txt.

Don’t shoot the messenger-:(

If West Ham is looking for Mohammed Kudus as a replacement for Paqueta, why don't we try to sign Kudus ourselves? Much more reasonable price for a squad signing.
