Watched him closely against Spurs and did some good things, but gave the ball away cheaply and even when he did track back he was no help.

Said it a while back, football really went to shit if Paqueta has become a player considered world class.

Aleix Garcia is an absolute mystery.
A few years ago he was playing for the worst team in Romania, they relegated that year or the next.

At Girona I've read he is their orchestrator.


He really is. He was decent when he played for us too, I thought it was a mistake letting him go but figured I got it wrong when following his career. He has had some turnaround and is now a full spanish international.

Yan Couto, Hererra, Aleix Garcia, Savio all would improve our squad as things stand. Hopefully Girona win the league and all their best players end up with us!
derby day the scores were level,
then the goat was fed by neville,
silly boy should know for sure,
feed the goat and he will score!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paqueta is our nailed on Bernardo replacement - if he's cleared. Top drawer player hates Moyes.

I read that we might spunk 50 mil on a kid from club Bruge. Not bad for them as he only cost 7 mil 2 years ago, inflation eh? Anyone heard of him Buchanan?

Club briefing to Jack Gaughan when the agreed £80m deal was called off in August after the betting enquiry news broke. Our gardener is a Hammers fan, home and away and apparently he is being played 90 mins every game (21 so far this season) because of his pending move to us. He asked Gollum for a break and was told to go away unkindly.

Then we are fucked.
Failed at Milan, mediocre at Lyon, stand out at WHU? Don't think so.
I think we need to look outside England for players in the middle. All of our best came outside this league: Merlin, Kevin, Bernie, Rodri, Fern etc.
Fuck the league with their inflated mediocre players.

I wonder if we could chuck in Phillips or Nunes as part of the deal?

Curious myself about this lad. Seen a couple of posters on here mention him but know nothing of him myself. On the other hand, have seen Paqueta a few times and he does not look like he is what we need

Afraid it looks like Wirtz is Bayern bound - not surprising really. On the subject of Paqueta - are you aware we agreed to buy him for £80m just a couple of months ago? That deal was probably years in the making.

Yes, was aware that the deal was as good as over the line JC. From what I've seen he has done little to warrant that kind of cash but he's a PL player and west ham's asset so there is that. I'd suggest there is better out there in Europe for us but we will soon see in January

What’s happened to Perrone? Is he injured or have I missed his going out on loan? Can’t believe he isn’t at least the equal of Phillips and being young, surely has more energy and hunger than Nunes

it's always a gamble to see how these guys fit in with us - is he a Rodri or a Kalvin :roll: Here's his latest promo

How can the £80m deal with West Ham have been “years in the making” when he signed for West Ham last year?

You are being characteristically obtuse, a City transfer deal is usually the outcome of a lengthy sequence of negotiations (often involving different clubs in different countries) with the player, his agent and finally the club he from he is bought eg https://www.teamtalk.com/manchester-cit ... fter-talks
