Lucas Paqueta investigated by FA for alleged betting breaches

At what stage of a transfer chat do 'potential liabilities' come to the fore? And why the fuck would West Ham turn down £70m

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.

Saying their depth isn't good enough basically means ours isn't either.

Not sure what you mean. We’ve clearly got better players just not as many and some of theirs are just not much good. Not much point in having bigger squad if you have a few just making up the numbers. Hopeful of some more additions before the window closes.

The biggest bullet we have ever dodged. Could have forked out £85m for him to be suspended for a few months

Is Txiki a genius now and we dodged a bullet? :-)

Wonder what would’ve happened if we’d have signed him last week, and then this news came out?!

This is actually hilarious, you couldn't write it really

Lol at West Ham. £80m short in their accounts with a player that can’t play for 6 months at some point!

Should be longer than 6 months, how long did Toney get ?

 

[Rammy Blue]

Lol

That’ll be a City leak to quieten the masses.

 

[Longballutd]

Paqueta transfer was always a bit of a gamble

Should be longer than 6 months, how long did Toney get ?

it depends on how many bets he did, Toney bet a shitton

Edit: 232 breaches for b8 months
