Apparently we’ve tabled a bid for Paqueta at West Ham. Not sure what’s going on in Pep’s head. Just play Foden maybe instead?

I'd prefer to play him on the wings, he doesn't track back, great going forward though. I'm thinking right wing and bring Silva in the middle? Either way, we need reinforcement in the middle, hopefully we shift shit show Phillips

I have only ever seen paqueta play centrally for west ham. Cant sat he ever stood out. 70m rejected is already massively overpriced.

If £70m has been rejected I’d leave it. Definitely not worth £70m, probably around £50m max

Just been on KUMB and half are saying “let him go it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity, he’d be better suited to City” and the other half saying “reject the offer at all costs”.

I feel it’s a bit harsh on West Ham leaving it this late, even if the sale doesn’t go through we’ve messed with a players head.

I was referring to Foden

Not in today's market, Lavia going for 50m after one season.
Mind you, I'd prefer we go back to Lavia, works out a lot cheaper.

Could be his people have broke the news Mase. Philips the other way.

I'd be good with that. Phillips has to be on his way out after not getting any minutes on Sunday

Our kid told me last season he liked him. Better than anything the scum have. Not the best endorsement I know.

The Paqueta thing can be very interesting, to be honest.
He is not a winger, he is very similar to Gundo, more similar than Kovacic.

The logical thing is that Philips is on his way while Kovacic will be moved as a holding mid, like Rodri.
I am on board with that.

Make it happen.

He needs to be persuaded it’s in his own interests to leave. A loan to West Ham would be far better for him and the Club than him sitting on the bench all season.

Put the boot on the other foot so to speak

Imagine KDB at West Ham. Doubt he would be anywhere near the player he is currently. Paqueta could be a similar scenario for us. For us to allegedly bid £70m, Pep and Txiki must see something in the lad that can transcend to a higher level

Must say my initial reaction was WTF but I haven’t really seen much of West Ham so my knowledge of him is admittedly very sketchy

One assumes that this means that Foden’s future is on the right rather playing in central midfield. Always worth remembering that Kevin is 32 and if he gets injured we look short on creativity. Paqueta would offer us some goals and assists to replace those of Mahrez.

It’s more the “being caught in possession” and “making silly flicks and misplaced passes” - that’s not Pep.

Like others before him, he will soon get the message
