I think Pedro plus a ‘marquee’ player was always on the cards. Not sure they wanted to pull the trigger on an elite striker in this window until Wilson’s injury. We’ve obviously shifted the priority. Maybe we’ll come for Maddison next summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Surely if he's available at that price we steam in and get it done Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
timeEd32 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Unfortunately I think the most likely scenario is we're not nearly as interested as this board is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say now looking at Isak as the marquee player drops a lot of the need for Pedro, so the Pedro money can be used for RW or (R)CM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonesJones Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 As shit as it is I think media have just clocked on to the fact if they stick the word Paqueta and NUFC in a sentence we're all going to click it. Won't stop me dreaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s one approach but Pedro seems very advanced. Do we let Everton take over and fight WHU for Paqueta? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking that the Harrison and Maddison interest might be a set up for next summer, they will both be in the last year of their contract then (I think?) so available at a better price. We are just letting them know we want them so if we come back in for them they can see they club has held a long term interest and has a plan for them.

KDT Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I would imagine with players that we've previously had interested in (Paqueta etc) the club has probably asked the sellers to keep them informed of offers that are going in, on the off chance that we would be willing to match it/improve on it.

number37 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I heard Jamie Reuben managed to get his hands on a PS5 so he's flying down there now to hijack the deal. Should be able to Click & Collect from Westfield Stratford Argos if he doesn't fancy taking electricals in his carry on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest HTT II Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Seems we’re now after a DCM/Shelvey alternative rather than an attacking midfielder, with Howe happy with Almiron on the right… We won’t be buying Paqueta! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 With Shelvey out, Paqueta's only a little less vital than a forward and sorts out that position for us as top caliber. At the price. Be mad not to for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Athletic mentioned Haidara also. Would be 10/10 window lol Assuming 3 players, ST, CM, RW - one from each line would be perfect for top 6 challenge Isak/Pedro Paqueta/Haidara (would LOVE both!) Pulisic/Diaby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facundo Ferreyra Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I know pretty much nothing about him and don't think I've ever seen him play but I'm all in on Paqueta and will be absolutely gutted if he goes to West Ham Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
