How much of the love for Paqueta is an extension of love for Bruno?

 

Bruno is world class, but I think the jury is still out on his best role. It's a shame Shelvey is out, because he's our best other deep-lying midfielder. At the end of last season, the initial clamour was for us to buy a DM to replace Shelvey, not an AM who will force Bruno into playing at 6.

it makes absolute sense why people want this deal so bad. Beyond the fact that he’s a fully established Brazilian international and would be a huge statement signing his best friend is one of, if not our top player and statement signing from January.

 

The idea of an all Brazilian midfield who are all best buds is just *chef kiss*

“Graeme Bailey [of ‘90min Football’] told the Loaded Mag YouTube channel”…nah.

Chris Waugh in The Athletic?:

“…the Brazilian having featured during conversations with Lyon in January, before Newcastle ended up signing his best friend, Bruno Guimaraes.

Agents continue to discuss Paqueta and Newcastle as a live situation, one that could see the summer end with the 24-year-old reunited with Guimaraes…”

We want new news! ?

Me too. But just saying it’s pretty obvious that the club have at least more than a passing interest in Paqueta- there are more than a few snippets out there from various sources. As seen with Isak, the club keep things close, so it doesn’t concern me that our interest isn’t splashed all over via every journalist going, like some people are wanting or expecting- we’ll be working on it or at last seeing if it’s possible, I’m sure. It might happen, it might not, but lots of reports (Athletic, Times etc) have named him as a target.

Agreed, I got excited when I red the headline! ? Mehrdad was in London yesterday, having had a challenging day?  Let’s hope he was ironing out the deal for Paqueta ?

To be honest, I'm not totally sold on Paqueta. I've only seen him on YT, and he looks good, but there are others who I think would offer just as much. I don't think there's any need to bust the bank to get him.

 

The issue of his being Bruno's mate and having an all-Brazilian midfield three could cut both ways. Eddie has generated a really good team spirit, and he wouldn't want things to get cliquey. 

 

I'm really happy with Isak. I'm hoping he can be our Bellamy / Beardsley - a real firecracker performer who can take us to a new level.

Never been a single credible source suggesting we’re interested in Paqueta. People should’ve never got this emotionally invested in him.

 

I don't think we'll sign him and I agree on the later, but Martin Hardy at the start of the window. Then more recently Chris Waugh and a couple of French media sources. If you think Luke Edwards and Graeme Bailey are reliable, they have as well. It's not just come out of no where.

Isak and Gallagher on loan with option to buy would be nice. We might also submit a cheeky hopeful bid for someone around transfer day which will get rejected is my bet.


Gallagher would be excellent but will depend on who Chelsea bring in I guess. I don’t think they’ll let him leave right now.

There shouldn't be any question on whether we are interested in Paqueta. He's exactly the profile we would look at, we have looked at and we have his ear.

 

The only real question is whether a deal is doable this window and I doubt we have the finance or the appetite right now. Next summer we would be all over it.

I don’t think it’s finance one window to the next but appetite is likely to be the driver.

 

they could pay the £60m this year and then drop next summers kitty accordingly but until Champions League becomes a realistic aim the Arsenal model of consistent spend each year is more likely.

I was jumping to a different conclusion. A complicated double dipping magpie swoop for the new Rob Lee and an entitled American from Chelsea.

Might be a fair bit of Punking Paqueta going on in our dressing room this season (note to the overexcited: no ‘S’ there!)

Think about it....

 

We make a thread about a player thats linked and the move fails to happen. Repeat at least half a dozen times.

 

We dont have a thread about the Paqman so.....ITS HAPPENING AND I'M GONNA NEED MORE SOCKS!!
