Don't they already have Suso who's somewhat a similar player?
Lucas Paqueta
- Thread starter TsuWave
- Start date
That settles it then.
ffs
Good for him. Has potential to develop into a top player, but in is not ready to improve a club like United in the moment.
Leonardo is the one who got this deal done. That bodes well
He was the same guy who lured Lucas away from us. That didnt turn out too good for Lucas.
I wonder if its better to follow a charming guy, or just do the simple and go to a premier league team.
just realised today that he ended up at Milan
This guy is electric with his feet. Proper world class prospect if he keep his development upwards.
Just scored his first goal for milan
Neat and tidy player. Fee rumoured to be around 70M.
Lucas Paqueta sweets and a friendly smile
Good player and would probably replace Gündogan, but he wont be cheap. WH bought him for 50m or something like that
From what I've heard the bid would need to be close to the Rice fee, or perhaps a better benchmark is the Grealish deal.
Anything less will get rejected this summer in the knowledge he has 4 more years on contract and West Ham have enough squad turnover as is at the moment.

He was ok at best last season and has never looked to me anything special even with Brazil.
City's interest is a bit odd.

Feel the exact same way personally. Not all that bothered with City splashing big money on him.
I was going to post something similar. Then I thought that I just know for a fact Pep will have seen something and will turn him into the best right back in the world or something equally crazy.
Good player, was surprising West Ham got him in the first place. Not the best timing with Rice going too but 1 season and cash in works out extremely well for them
Edit - I think he's as good as Mount, but 70 million would be too much for him

He kinda flopped at Milan AC, didn't he ? I know OL fans liked him, definitely a lot of talent and potential but still not the finished article. Certainly wished he would have stayed a season more. If he did and refined at Lyon I'm sure you would have seen bigger clubs peeking in this Summer. West Ham took a gamble on bringing him earlier and he was keen / impatient to step up, plus Lyon firmly is a seller club currently.

He had a good start then fell off and they let him go for less than they paid. So yeah I'm sure they werent expecting him to do what hes done since, playing well in France and getting a move to the premier league and impressing City enough to want him
What the feck is happening? 85M rejected for him? According to reports West Ham wants 110M and City is willing to go up to 100M.
I mean he's good but he's 50M good these prices are madness.

Has to be BS?
City will get him for 50m with another 50m transfered directly to whu owners account through some shell company in bahama
West Ham had a 200m midfield last season.. there really is too much money in the premier league..
Hard to believe
this summer is really emphasising how Newcastle stole Bruno G
I didn't want to do the comparisons with Rice but if this lad is worth #100m in West Ham's view then anything less than 50m for McTominay is totally insulting.
And screaming that we need to get the Amrabat deal done asap.
Hasn’t he been average for West Ham?
And still managed to be in a relegation fight.
I've watched him maybe 5 or 6 times and I'd definitely say he's a good player. If we were linked with him at say £50m I wouldn't exactly be losing my mind with excitement.
Rough start but found his footing more by the end. Packs a lot of flair.
100m probably outrageous but heh that's the market. WH wouldn't mind the money to buy players in such a short window.
I just don't understand the rationale behind this one at all. Even if the number is wrong, the City interest seems genuine and Paqueta looked entirely ordinary to me this season.
Well this sure is something.
Money laundering?
Even more crazy when you consider that with that midfield they had minimal possession and struggled enormously to control games. It suggests the players are either being massively overrated or that the coaching and tactics at West Ham were dreadful.
Not really.
They paid £40m for an untested midfielder from Lyon, sounds about right to me.
yea i agree.
Type of player that has a lot of good qualities and still young. Could become something special, could become very decent. Sort of like Ashley young at villa or a to much lesser extent Dan James.
Ridiculous price for Paqueta.That kind of money for a player like Paqueta is laughable.
