WHY CAN'T WE TRUST FODEN IN MIDFIELD FFS???
He would be a good signing if he comes in we must do what we always do: give him time!
Why?
i like our squad, the depth and quality. this signing would be icing on the cake.
pep knows Steve
We were in for him before West Ham bought him. I remember City showed intention, I'm totally up for it, if our Scouts have identified him as a Pep player then bring him, we need some Brazilian flair in our squad too 🙂
70 for paqueta? Wirtz absolutely for me
I’d refer Wirtz
Miitoma
From our perspective it works on the principle of another quality player which allows Pep to shuffle the deck as he see fit. But for me I cannot see it. He has along contract at WHU, they have cash in the bank and are under no pressure to sell and loosing him and Rice in one window seems just a step too far. Nice thought but too hard to get done.
I prefer a winger like Olise, I like Silva better inside
What position does Phil Foden play?
I am okay with Paqueta but it does not excite – he rotted a bit under Moyes – but worries more is if this would signal a late move of Bernardo in the window – if that happens I will not be happy with this transfer
Kdb not so fit these days so if injury he can slot in
I don't know how true this is, but apparently he wants to join city, so now it's just up to the two clubs to agree a fee?
Olise please. Freekicks assists good attitude.
Just watched a compilation on this guy, and he's a real baller. It's criminal a talent like that is wasting away in Westham.
This will be a brilliant signing
mate he aint no defensive midfielder hahaha, he is attacking, just looks defensive cause of moyes tactics
The Verve 😊
I think the price is a tad high but I actually really do rate Paqueta and would love him at city
Serves the same role as kovacic which makes no sense imo. I’d rather a dynamic winger
Paqueta is a very good player but I just don’t see the point honestly. I’d love for Mcatee and Foden to get minutes in the middle
As a band: “Yes” became a big prog monster after the third album.
£85 million for paqueta or its a no go
Don't really like this signing unless Peps signing him to play winger
Don’t think Rodri can do another 60 game season injury free. Our medical team has been performing miracles.
Also Pep mentioned we were looking at two more signings. Surely they will bring in a winger as well
For the amount they want for him, I’d rather see Wirtz and Doku. We need attack/creativity in the middle, and a pacey winger. Not excited about this tbh for the amount we’d need to spend to get Lucas.
Paqueta is a gud deal for city additional midfielder . doesn't need to buy any winger so that Foden could operated as both flankers . Jack & Gomez = LW Bernardo & Cole = RW . if cole goin for loan or for sold oscar defo could replace that position
💙😁
Sounds like a good prospect….
West Ham want Man City star as ‘makeweight’ in huge transfer as £85m standout ‘says yes’ to exit. The price keeps rising!!
West Ham 'reject £87m. According to Foot Mercato, West Ham are holding out for more money. HUH, we being held ransom. Why didnt we then sign Rice?????
West Ham have told City they will only sell for a huge (£95m). City offered 87.5m.
