He has bags of ability, a great work rate, can play in multiple positions. On paper it looks a no brainer for even the top four sides. Perhaps that stint at Milan has put sides off?

dave s Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 why did everyone think paqueta was going to sign? because he went to bruno’s for tea? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Pundit Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Shame about Paqueta, I think it's that he's gone to a wank club (or club of wankers) like Wist Am that's the most upsetting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shak Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Was pretty widely reported that we asked about Paqueta back in January when we went in for Bruno. Become pretty clear that we were never gonna pursue him this summer for one reason or another, but it's not like the link was entirely created by this forum either.

catlover24 Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 For those wondering why, if you search "Paqueta attitude" on Google it tells you all you need to know... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Paqueta looks like the most obviously good player who ticks so many boxes and is at a very high level. Just like with Bruno, it's puzzling that no one pulled the trigger on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 2 hours ago, nbthree3 said: Looks more like salty tears than the truth tbh. The West Ham link has been going on for a little while, so it's not like it's something that was hashed together in a matter of a day or two. I think we were interested, amongst others, but decided to prioritise a striker of similar profile/calibre in Isak this summer rather than a central attacking midfielder. Paqueta in front of Soucek and Rice is potentially one of the best midfields in the league, depending on how Paqueta adapts of course. Wonder what the add-ons are. West Ham have fooled them well if the main bulk of the add-on fee is linked to Champions League qualification. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be he was after mental wages that only West Ham were willing to pay? He's a regular in the Brazil first XI. Would guess he's on a lot more than Isak.

Zero Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Both Lyon and Paqueta are shocked to know that there were so little interests outside. Obviously his agent has been trying very hard to knock doors but only West Han answered. There must be something wrong re Paqueta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he messed up his own situation by insisting on a move, he could have still got his agent to look discreetly for clubs, but have one eye on January so an amazing world cup could get him the dream move he actually wanted. Instead of 'settling' for West Ham which, even though they've had a good window, they've been operating at their ceiling for 2 seasons now, not sure they'll get to the next level. Whereas we're currently a bit further back, but the ceiling is a lot higher and it's a more exciting project to be part of. He left Lyon because they finished 8th. West Ham with the start they've had aren't guaranteed as high as that. So it is definitely a strange move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can do it once, he can certainty do it again if he doesn't get his way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
