OrangeKhrush 298 Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 3 hours ago, Devil said: I fail to see what Moyes influence has had on what I've seen of Paqueta. He doesn't look to me to have an major attribute that would make him worth 110 million. He's not fast, he's not incredibly skillful, he gives the ball away a lot, he doesn't really tackle. I know he's not a bad player but it's a bit of the left field transfer signing if you ask me. You lose Gundogan and Mahrez and sign Kovacic and Paqueta. Such strange replacements. Why didn't they just sign Rice, he's the better of the West Ham lads. computer sez no https://fbref.com/en/players/9b6f7fd5/Lucas-Paqueta he was in the top percentile ranging from progressive passes, tackles, blocks, interceptions. generally players that look for progressive passes turn over the ball more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reluctant Striker 134 Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I would guess Pep sees him as adding a midfield goal threat. Still lots of money though. For someone who failed in Serie A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cicero 5,267 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Kovacic is a good squad player but it was evident against Arsenal and Burnley that when he and Rodri are together there is a lack of creativity from midfield. Especially when Pep tries to play Alvarez and Haaland together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t send him on loan to a David Moyes team though, wouldn’t see the best of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like this is the truth of the matter, all over the place now. Sky saying it's on hold but we can't afford to wait around Brazilian star Lucas Paqueta looks set to stay at West Ham, with Manchester City's proposed deal now just given a 10% chance of happening. City had been keen to sign Paqueta to bolster their midfield options, and reports had suggested that City had agreed personal terms with the Brazilian. However, City hadn't met West Ham's £85million valuation of the midfielder. And Sky Sports have now reported that Paqueta is deal 'on hold' - and they have given Paqueta a 90% chance to remain at West Ham. However, Sky also report that City could go back in for the midfielder later in the window. Edited August 18, 2023 by Happy Blue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiskey 1,192 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 The FA are a mockery of themseleves. Crying their eyes out because of betting when half the shirt sponsors have just that. Everyone is at it too, I was told months ago that Jordan Henderson would be leaving Liverpool, it has been planned absolutely ages ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
