Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Stoned Rose]

I’m willing to bet that we will hear of more instances that are being investigated at some point today. I’d also not be surprised to hear it’s more than just yellow cards but also things like free kicks, penalties scored or missed, throw ins etc etc. it’s rare it’s just one thing.

What odds is Paqueta giving you?

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Fuck betting companies, the evil, filthy cunts.

This ^^^^^^^^Condescending cunts blitz the telly with betting adverts then say 'bet responsibly''

That's no different than putting contact phone numbers for Alcoholics Anonymous on beer cans and whisky bottles.

lets not forget 'Ladbroke's is an anagram for' Broke lads'.

Looks very bad for him. Feel like the only mitigating factor here would be if a criminal gang were threatening his family or something.

Bookmakers seem to want things both ways. They want to offer markets on these kind of things which are totally open to manipulation so they take money from people whose gambling is so out of control they'll gamble on anything. But then they're outraged when then the inevitable happens.

Dodged a bullet not signing this lad. We were going to overpay for him anyway so quite glad. He’s decent but he’s not that good.

I thought that was only in games in which he didn’t play, as opposed to playing in games and betting against himself while playing?

Either way, dumb as rocks to do it and glad he got caught!

What a confident player...!

 

[mancboy]

Why?

The 2 things have literally fuck all to do with each other.

i dont think they have anything to do with each other per se BUT if the fa were indeed aware of any pending investigation then they should have duty of care to inform west ham at least so either they or west ham were acting in bad faith if not both of them

 

[Double R]

According to sky sports, the FA and Manchester City have 'declined to comment'. What the fuck has it got to do with us? The media are treating him as our target, not a West Ham player!

 

[JTFactsPlz]

It made me laugh when I heard Sky Sports reporting "Manchester City target Lucas Paqueta being investigated" instead of "West Ham's Lucas Paqueta". Not surprised though

Sly must be absolutely gutted we hadn't already completed the transfer.
