gbandit Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I’d say that Paqueta to West Ham is the most unexpected of those three by some distance. Can’t really get my head round he hasn’t gone to a bigger club / club with more potential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Considering Flip reckons Paqueta is better than Bruno, I think him going to West Ham of all places is the maddest. I was fully expecting Man City, Spurs, Arsenal to be in for him and if not that it would be us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said Bruno has adapted so fucking well here and to the PL. Hard to see Paqueta adapting as quickly and well as he did now that he isn’t joining us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingxlnc Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 This is their Payet replacement. Worth the wait, to be fair. We signed our Bellamy, now we need the Robert (Diaby / Maddison) please. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praying Paqueta turns out to be a namby pamby softie who can't hack English football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sean Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 I wouldn't be surprised if West Ham are paying him a huge wage, meaning whether Howe would have liked him or not we were priced out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1892er Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 If not us, I would have preferred to have seen him at Arsenal or someone of that ilk. Not a rank club like West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their wage structure is tighter than ours as far as I know. I really think we can't have wanted him that bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Manure apparently in discussions with Napoli over another of our previous targets, Osimhen. Ronaldo may go the other way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 They can’t say they haven’t backed Ten Hag if they go for Antony or Osimhen. If he can’t get them fighting for champions league football with those players (provided they sign) then it’s a failure really Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could well be right. I thought they were offering Declan Rice £200k a week or something though so who knows. We probably didn't see value though like you say.

JUICE690 Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Wonder if it was us and West Ham in for Paquetá? But then, with our necessity to spend big on Isak, we had to back out? Of course, it could just be a coincidence that both signings have been within hours of each other. Who knows.

Stifler Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 With Paqueta, that guy from South America ha been saying that he has an attitude problem. I’m not sure if he meant he lets his head drop, he is ready to kick off, or both. If that is the case then it’s easy to see why Howe and the club were not that interested in him. We don’t want a Balotelli. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
