Lucas Paqueta had an interview with Globoesporte whilst away with Brazil where he confirmed the potential transfer to Manchester City fell through due to the FA investigation into the betting allegations as well as his desire to possibly return to Brazilian club Flamengo in the summer but his decsion to remain at West Ham United after the support he received from the club and fans!

I dont know what am doing tomorrow, might do a live stream if anyone is bothered?
Cheers

I liked what he said. Recognised how everyone supported him through the difficult times and honest enough to tell us he wants to go home. ❤️⚒️
Football is full of uncertainties – The only certain thing in football is the uncertainies
Is there a player that divides West Ham fans opinions as much as Lucas Paqueta Geo?I can’t think of one,he is one of the most talented players we have signed in my lifetime of supporting our club.Has he delivered every game no what other West Ham player has ,in the Prem league I can’t think of one,the only two players in my living memory were Sir Trevor Brooking and Billy Bonds.
He supplied the pass that won us a trophy first in 43 years that needs to be recognised,he is our only player that has the X factor right now,without him in January we become very 2 dimensional just my opinion,great video and best of luck with your house move to you,Lauren and Baby Grace ⚒👍🏻
You cannot blame him with how the English FA has treated him, so he wanted to go back home. Good that he stayed fully expect him to leave next summer.
54 games without an assist
As far as Diouf's comments are concerned, I think some people made a mountain out of a mole hill. I tend to agree with you about it, Geo.
Up until the last couple of games I would have said not really bothered but I’m now looking forward to seeing him in a 3 alongside Fernandes and Potts for the rest of the season. Hopefully he’ll perform as we know he can until then and, if he does, good luck to him if he goes home.
Its too man city i dont blame him one bit
I honestly think Paqueta is a slippery character. I believe he only does what he wants and will twist the narrative to suit the position he finds himself in. I think he got really lucky dodging his ban. I just dont buy into much he says. Currently hes trying harder only to play himself into another team.
Hey, Geo, what are you talking about, what Pacman said was great! Grrr. (😉 ⚒️)
Have no problem with a player being open and honest about transfers, either past rumours or future plans, if it does not affect their performance for us while they are wearing our jersey which I don't believe it has with Paqueta. Obviously we had the severe drop off in form last year but I think we can understand that for the personal pressures he was under. If he would like to return to Flamengo though, does make me wonder if there is a deal to be done with any of their centre forwards? I can't pretend to know too much about their situation but a quick google suggests they have a Brazil international with a decent scoring record in Pedro or a young 20 year old promising prospect in Yan.
Have no issues with Paqueta I think he is a genuine guy. He has not tried to force his way out like Payet. Imagine the pressure he has been playing under. In the circumstances he has given us a lot. Will never forget that pass to Bowen in Prague for our first trophy in 40 odd years. He plays well in his proper position. Let’s continue to support him ⚒⚒. He is the type of player I love to see at West Ham
Thank you guys for the Lucas paqueta print
Remember it well ! City Accused us or probably Sullivan of being unprofessional and liars and didnt even retract it ! Like we knew about the charges coming and we tried to pass it on to them 😂
Sully dodgy business at its finest ! I’m glad he didn’t go and Sully didn’t bank the fee 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
If I were Paqueta, I'd have ALREADY escaped from this CIRCUS of a club. Imo, the betting allegation was BOGUS from da off.
He might be homesick, but if a rich English team came in for him……
Can WHU progress better without Paqueta on the pitch. Yes, he is our best creative player but we loose ball more from his IQ passes, than we get goals or make chances.
1,400 players involved in betting in Turkish la lig. Islam is appalled
Aberdeen to build a new stadium closer to the beach 🏖️. Pittodrie was the first stadium to have a dugout. Or was it a doughnut??
All we ask from Paqueta is that in the current situation he turns on the style big time!
We speak about the Paqueta situation like he’s an unbelievable player. He’s just good with some off moments.
Great ability that rarely delivers
Love him as a player but I think the end of the season is the best time for both parties to go separate ways.. he’s certainly replaceable and leaves on a good note
Pac-Man was only confirming what was already known. Tapping happens everywhere; it's how discreet it's done that matters
When he's good he's great, when he's not on it he's a liability.
If we could get50 mill for him id bite their arms off, far too many games where he just disappears and makes stupid mistakes for the one or two games he shows up
I love Paqueta, plays with emotion and flair, yes, sometimes he drives me crazy with reckless challenges and blaze appearances, but when he's on, oh man. Wouldn't blame him at all if he had wanted to leave West Ham, didn't blame Declan Rice either. No ambition, we could have built a dynasty around Rice and blew it.
Lets sign akinfenwa
He wanted to leave last summer? Pfft. I’ve wanted to leave West Ham for the last 40 years. West Ham never lets go though.
Tbf to Paq, a fair number of fans were asking him to leave as well, are still asking him to leave. Here and there I was one of them. Why wouldn’t you wanna go home after all the nonsense he’s been through?
I don't mind if paqueta leaves because attacking wise he's great but defensively he's fucking shocking, I can pick up 3 examples that cost us no better than that little forward roll at anfield that cost us a goal, if we got that man city money that could of took us off in the right context
Hate it when any (good) player wants to leave but that's just from a WH fan's perspective. I want the best for my club and that selfishly means, wanting the best players to stay put!
I have this dream that one day, we'll be the best team in Europe! To make this happen, we need the VERY BEST players like Lucas Paqueta to make us better (I call it the Manual Lanzini thing)
Now after saying all that, I know modern day footballers ain't as loyal as they used to be, so have total respect for those, that still do their upmost to make the club they're at, into the best they can.
The FA wanted to fuck Man City’s attempted to sign a top player so they trumped up phoney charges against Paqueta and carried it on for two years.
And the fact they the WEST HAM board had over the years fucked up our team with inadequate trainers and signings. I. Would , if I was a skilful player,have left years ago. So PAQUETA goes with my good wishes.⚒⚒⚒
Did say Flamengo in January didn't i, if we aren't in the bottom 5 i think he'll be off back home with a middle finger to FIFA and the European leagues afternthe betting scandal BS
He has been a great player for us(overall) and I think he will be paramount to our survival in the PL he will do a payet for us a Teves. He has it in his locker to do it.
If he was that loyal he would have cut dead the transfer talks before they started.
Players come and go and Paq is not irreplaceable we just need to get a good price.
I would also say under this board and recent managerial calamities I can’t begrudge any player wanting out.
To be fair to him he is putting effort in when wearing the shirt so hopefully a deal comes that suits everyone.
100% agreed Geo. Always appreciate the honesty over some boiler plate media trained response
I'm sort of fatigued when it comes to Paqueta and I hope we move him on. He's great on his day, but sadly it just doesn't happen enough. I'm also a bit drained of big players talking about leaving west ham whilst they are here (Paqueta, kudus and rice to some degree). I know players are ambitious and that's fine, but it's just not nice to hear when your team is struggling
Because Lucas couldn't leave as planned, lived under accusation and West Ham kept him on and supported him throughout that ordeal (just remember him breaking down on the pitch), West Ham and it's fanbase has become part of "his home".
I'll part with him with good feelings for his future as long as he gets us a serious transfer fee…. By increasing his performance every match.
How do replace a player like that when he turns up
