Paqueta doesn’t fit into a David Moyes team which doesn’t play good technical football.
Nonsense im a west ham fan he gives the ball away far to easy i get that he is a attacking player and that will happen but this happens far to much and to easily even at the simpliest of passing totally over rated please go to man city Jared Bowen is a much better player shaka hislop is correct
The downfall of city has started. They pay paqueta that much money? The dude is not good and not amazin player. But it is citys job. Who cares?
We have sold rice and probably Paqeta too. Knowing Sullivan he'd sell Bowen and the goal posts as well (if we owed them!).
If this guy was English, everyone would be saying he’s overpriced just like you did with Rice…
Yet Eze, an English player would be no where near that price even if he’s better.
Sorry Shak, I don’t know who you were watching last season but the first half of the season Bowen was awful, at times he shouldn’t have been in the side but you know Moyes, predictable as ever. In reference to Paqueta, he’s a level above Bowen if you can’t see that then that’s probably why you were a goalkeeper, Paqueta has vision and ball control that Bowen can only dream about.
Paqueta will be better than Rice. Trust me. I’m not even talking about the Pep factor, purely football. Mark this comment guys.
It just happens that English players are always overrated. I’m a City fan and I can remember how people started comparing Foden to Messi because of Peps comments which was mad. Then Grealish for 100m, Declane for more. Saka is suddenly the best winger in the world and compared to Vinicius without even ever playing Champions League.😂. 30 year old Harry Kane with just 1 year left on his contract is worth 100m.
Rice won’t even make the Brazilian first team.
I totally agree with Shaka. I don't see anything special about Pacqueta but well I don't have 3 treble wins as a coach. So over to Pep
Tonali looking like a Bargain now.
He’s worth 30 mil at best forget about him, city desperate for a signing what a waste of 80 mil down the shitter
Over rated for me
Soooooo. Everyone is now a £100 million player? Is that is now? It's the norm then? Jeez!
So ,,, nothing to do with the game plan and management by Moyes .
Im not convinced by lucas Paqueta it's not game over
No point having contracts anymore as they aren't worth the paper they are printed on.
Paqueta can play an 8, 10, right winger even 2nd striker…quite similar attributes as Foden. Foden just has more pace, Paqueta perhaps more flair skills.
Man City would offer the platform for Paqueta to shine again!
West ham want £95million, that's ridiculous
But is already kovacic, bernardo, foden, julian, mctee that can play beside de bruyne
Rice has proved just as much as Paqueta so let's not even start comparing the two in terms of the transfer fees. Both outrageous fees.
Easily worth the money. Attacking they will be even more lethal.
Paqueta at Lyon was their best player alongside Memphis, I hope City get that version of him
jared bowen isnt good engh to even clean paqueta boots.
ESPN said Manchester City would break the world record for Gvadiol, Leipzig wanted £85mill, City paid £77.6mill, never broke the world record.
Here we go again from the no nowt pundits, City going to spend a lot of money. Lets be clear on this ESPN City have +£80mill form academy player sales and loans and £30mill for Mharez. City haven't spent any of their summer transfer money yet !!! Not a penny, why not hi-light this fact, oh yeah cus it goes against the bias media narrative that City only spend for success. ESPN nothing but frauds !!!
Calvin Phillips was also worth every penny… that didn't turn out well
Tbf Bowen was always going to be better than paqueta in a team like westham due to the roles each player has
Two amazing signings ,game over its cities again
It hasn't got better last year. Mad prices again. Arsenal linked then nothing. Amazing highlights but he remember lot of gaps in his game. But Pep usually gets it right. Surprised they didn’t go in when he was 40.
Southampton midfield and defence now worth a lot. Hammers stayed up so they must all be worth 100 million.😂
Paqueta is up there, just needs better players around him.👌
Get a winger for god sake how many midfielders do you want 😢
I usually love Shaka, he's why I became a West Ham supporter, but I think that incident he had recently has affected his brain. Paqueta is mint, that is why City wants him.
West Ham had two 100 million pound players and nearly got relegated? Something wrong somewhere
😁💙👍
I hope City successfully defend the CL title with Paqueta.
Another Serie A flop turns a star in the Premier League 😂
