kingxlnc Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Paqueta, Diaby, Etikite and Botman potentially could be like the 2001/02 year where signing Laurent Robert, Craig Bellamy, Distin and Jenas took us from 11th to 4th Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Just now, Hanshithispantz said: Aye, for all the flirting I would be surprised if Paqueta actually comes here. I think the only slim reason he might is the fact he flopped in Italy a couple of years ago. Absolutely, this is the reason IMO, that top clubs are being a bit hesitant with him right now, and it's an opportunity for us to sneak in. The timing just wasn't quite right for him at the time he was at Milan, but he's been able to build some confidence in Europe now, and is showing a lot more as he has settled, and so the timing is good right now if we can pull it off. Another good season in France and he probably does end up getting a lot more attention from top clubs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Paqueta would be my number 1 star signing out of the list of players we are linked with right now. I just want the fucker to be here and play with Bruno and Big Joe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 (edited) I’d rather have Pellegrini I think, nice to mix an Italian in with all the Brazilians. Wont be complaining of course. Edited June 9, 2022 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope there's something in that link, he is massively underrated and likely wouldn't break the bank given his age. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 100% we desperately need better passers in the middle and he's played under guadiola so assume would be good. Doubt we will match wages yet though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 2 hours ago, KaKa said: We'll be fine. There are so many players out there that get overlooked. Nunez just 3 years ago was playing in the second division in Spain. It's all about timing when you're not quite at the top as a club yet. The timing for the Bruno signing was exceptional, and we've clearly swooped in and added a player that can play for any of the top clubs right now. Just need to use that blueprint for a few more and we are on our way. Well the other side of the coin is that we probably have more to offer to younger talent who won't get a look in at the likes of Milan or Liverpool. Ekiteke being a prime example. Still very exciting times even if we can't compete for the established superstars. Yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
