Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

[Tugay One Cup]

Some healthy dose of realism is needed when it comes to Paqueta and his ability.

Bit ironic that when you don't even know what kind of player he is.

Let me know next time you see Maddison putting in a shift at holding mid.

I have no idea who they are but I'm exiting the thread anyway. I could spend all day replying to these comments. There's a lot of shit being chatted.

Maddison is nowhere near as good as Paqueta for what we want. Nowhere near.

City are interested in a player that can play in a double pivot and even cover Rodri when needed.

Paqueta can arguably play as a 6, an 8 and a 10 because of his tactical discipline and understanding of the game. He can mix it physically too and is a far more combative player than Maddison.

Maddison has zero tactical discipline and can only play as a 10 or an advanced midfielder in a 3 man midfield.

If we tried playing Maddison in a double pivot, we would end up getting completely overrun and bullied in midfield.

Paqueta is by far the better choice for us.

To be honest neither Maddison or Paqueta are good enough.

The reason we are looking for a player who can cover Rodri is because the last player we bought from relegation fodder turned out to be 'surprisingly' shite.

at this price we should abandon this deal and look to europe. these midfielders going for north of £60m are not worth anything near that.

Thanks

And the one before that AKe turned out to be good. Players have their own abilities and are not dependant on where they come from. I dont know enough about Paqueta to be completely confident but from what I have seen including last seasons game against West Ham he is a pretty good player.

Ok but for who?

The PL and Saudi league has destroyed the market, we go for any top European based player it's going to be crazy expensive.

Florian Wirtz looks a player, but I would imagine he will be close to 100m Euros in this market if we wanted him this window.

Ludovic Blas is another good one and he plays across the front line.

Maybe......we dont want to get near the final countdown.

Groan... See what you did there.

Last time I was on this thread, people were half excited he was coming, get him in, pep knows etc.

Now it is back to overrated, not good enough, average, overpriced, the samba maddison, etc.

What happened? Other than he played a game, by all accounts, quite well.
