Alberto2005 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Seems to me Pacqueta is a no.10 and doesn't really fit into our system. He can probably play at the tip of a 3 man midfield but it's a lot of money to spend on a player for the sake of it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sushimonster85 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 We're not signing Paqueta. I imagine he's never even been seriously considered. It's a link that's been entirely generated online by people who see how close he and Bruno is and assume he must be signing because of that alone.

Bad timing with the injury towards the end of the season, but before that he was running himself into the ground every game under Howe. Looked way fitter as well. But like I said, two years. There's a decent player in there somewhere, but he really needs to prove he can stay fit before anything else. Personally I wouldn't want to be relying on it. Get a RW in. Now.

sushimonster85 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 These stories from way before Jan likely all come from the same one source/original story. Probably either from Lyon themselves, or agent chat. Back in December/Jan one of the main things we heard about was how they're casting their net wide. Maybe there was an initial enquiry, who knows. But since then (and especially this Summer) all the links have been fan driven. Don't get me wrong, I'd love it if he signed. It's just not going to happen. At least not in this window.

Nine Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Il say it again, I think the Paqueta links were a smokescreen for Bruno. If we really wanted him then we’d be hearing more about him now, it’s not happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't get it. No, we never bid for Paqueta It’s a pretty common practise. Fake links are leaked while we work on the deal for the player we actually want.
