Lucas Paqueta Brazil international has 3 years left on his contract and we bid as being reported £33.7 million which has been rejected and told it has to be closer to £50million to get him...his agents are in London and looking to get a deal from a premier league club all fine and Dandy you think but then you See that Arsenal now looking at him and well if thats the case kiss any kind of deal goodbye........our constant low ball offers for players alerts other clubs and in they come this has to stop....Make offers that are realistic and not just headline grabbers which you then claim ahh we tried to get him but another club knicked him........i am all for negotiations but when you start off low balling the way we do clubs just not taking you seriously i mean if the shoe was on the other foot how peed off would the club be if Chelski/manure etc offered £60million for Rice they would not entertain it you hope!.
This Lucas Paqueta deal would be a big one for the club but if it is to happen for a player of his ilk you have to pay the going rate otherwise do not bid in the first place IMO.....it will be Onana all over again with Moyes changing his mind allegedly.
Have said this all along, if
Have said this all along, if they want the player they need to pay the going rate, other clubs just seem to get deals done, West Ham seem to negotiate for weeks and then suddenly the player is off somewhere else.
I was amazed they bought Scamacca for the money they did because it seems like they’re now looking in the 10 - 15 million pound bracket for other players, unless they’re very lucky players in that price bracket will not take the team to the next level.
Like I’ve said before, the owners need to go for West Ham to move forward, otherwise they’ll get overtaken by most of the league.
It does tend to make you shout
For goodness sake just give them your best and final offer not good enough then move on.
