ExiledGeordie Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Paqueta seems to have been a link pushed by fans more than the club really. I think if we were genuinely interested in him we’d sign him given his pal is here. Ofcourse there’s still time in the window for that to change Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now Waugh, Edwards and Hardy have tentatively linked him over the last week. The fans are also pushing it mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 3 minutes ago, The Prophet said: I don't think Paqueta ends up at West Ham. Maybe not here, but not West Ham either. Would be brilliant for the fans if he did. Great for a player in a new environment to be wanted so much. If the price is £33.4m then I don’t see why we wouldn’t, even if it means instead of Pedro.

Emotic Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Wasn't the rumour that we were after Paqueta in January, but ended up signing Bruno instead? Paqueta, Isak and Diaby have been consistently linked by journos as players we've been monitoring for a long time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how moving to West Ham is going to work for him, he'd better staying put until the next window, it would be a backwards step. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The good news is that the West Ham link should put it to bed either way. If we do have any interest at all in signing him we have to make a move in the coming days Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very much an Isak one where it's been mentioned in passing multiple times going back to before January. We've either successfully waited out Sociedad or something (Wilson's paper hamstrings) has forced our hand. Lyon accepting an offer for Paqueta might well do the same here, although I know it's not there yet. Lyon clearly trying to force an auction, which is completely sensible from their POV.

McCormick Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 I don’t think any clubs take the piss because it’s us. PL clubs get stiffed all the time from foreign leagues, kind of redresses the wealth inequality slightly so it’s fine by me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comegetasample Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 There's been plenty of interest in him from lots of different clubs. As Moyes said they've been hoying bids around left right and centre, Lyon/Paqueta's camp have probably let this one slip to force some movement and maybe get some sort of auction going as it's getting closer to crunch time. Either way i'm not not gonna #BedwetTM if he doesn't end up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy84 Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 The job Eddie Howe has done so far here is sensational. He is directly consulted in transfers and if Eddie doesn’t want Pacqueta then he deserves our trust 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 West Ham would be a shit move for Paqueta, not least because he'd have to put up with Rice being a whacky gimp every day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope that we're still in for Pedro but losing hope on Paqueta. Always made sense if we got the chance to sign our primary targets we should do it regardless of whether it's now or two years time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's fine if he genuinely doesn't want him, would be a shame if we missed out because we can't spend that much wedge on two marquee signings in one window. Actually make that three if you include Botman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
