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. 

 

Let's hope @Flip's judgement stinks then, this is certainly what I'm hanging my hat on. Praying Paqueta turns out to be a namby pamby softie who can't hack English football.

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 

Yep - awful fit.  V.strange Newcastle weren't in for him but I don't think they'd have paid £50Mil for him

I think we would have like if we thought he was worth it. Unless this is just a cashflow thing.

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.

 

Their wage structure is tighter than ours as far as I know. I really think we can't have wanted him that bad.

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

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.

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. :dontknow:

Their weekly wage total is higher than ours, have more higher earners, and offer more (eg £200kpw to Rice to sign a new contract)

They offered him an 8 year deal on 200k a week apparently.

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.

When he was here visiting Bruno, apparently the club got wind of him being out down the Bigg Market into the early hours of the morning, shagging around and eating kebabs. Thankfully Bruno was far too professional for all that stuff and just had a takeaway kebab at home.

Manure apparently in discussions with Napoli over another of our previous targets, Osimhen. Ronaldo may go the other way.

 

 


And then Spalletti benches him for like 50% of the season just like what he did to Totti in his final years. He literally drove Totti into retirement. 
 

This last week is going to be interesting as fuck.

That’s what he was on when he was down the Bigg Market I bet!

Have to say I had hope til the very end for this one. Probably the most painful one we’ve missed out on, especially given how transformative he would be to our play and the fact he’s gone to West Ham so was very attainable. 

We were never really in for him to miss out on him
