This has the unmistakeable air of a Betting Paquet 
Anyone impressed with this guy ? He was brilliant yesterday.
How's his betting case going on ? Would really prefer us to sign someone like this guy

He's like a more physical David Silva. I can see why Pep wants him.
He has £100m move to United written all over him.
Newcastle United?
Nobody calls them United.
That pass for the goal was filthy. West Ham have picked up a few players recently that would start for top clubs. Moyes was always good at identifying talent to be fair to him.
I know, I just feel like our splurging £100m on one player days might be over.
Why do you think so?
Played the game badly.
He was agreed for 70m . Why would that change to 100 when he has a betting case on him ? I don't think he signed any extension, since then ?
Helped greatly by Man United players giving him the time and room to pick out the pass and nobody tracking Bowen.
To be fair though that was probably the only time he found that space and time in and around our box and he made it count perfectly- it's what a real playmaker can do.
True but still our own players apart from maybe Bruno occasionally can’t do that even with space.
It’s not something a club that has a clear plan on the football side does
Yep. Nailed on for Chelsea.
Thought at the time, his yellow card was sus as hell. Just booted the ball into the crowd for no reason.
Great player though, that pass for bowens goal was Cantona-esque.

You think Chelsea have a clear plan?
Because he continues to impress and I’m thinking United might be the latest, slightly desperate team, to splash £100m on a midfielder next summer.
How much longer is the betting investigation going to go on exactly?
He was anonymous on Saturday apart form the five aside pass that should never have got to its destination.
West Ham were shit and we would have beaten them of we could actually score goals.

Has been one of those type of moments where United players switch off. moments that has become a very bad habit this season.
I think he was saying Chelsea don’t that’s why they’ll throw £100m at him and just expect him to work.
Have caught a fair few West Ham games and he's been class in nearly every one I've watched, thank God City backed out of getting him and got Nunes instead.
Doubt it. City want him so they’ll get him.
i don’t think we can call him a betting cheat until we have all the facts.
They wanted Rice and they didn’t get him.
That’s because Arsenal paid what West Ham wanted. As far as I’m aware it’s only city interested in him.
Ah fair enough, misread the post. But are United that well run though? Seems like every time I visit the United section, the general consensus seems to be that it’s not?
Under previous ownership, absolutely not. Under the new footballing ownership, you would think the days of spending daft money on players are over.
He's basically Bruno. But he plays for West Ham instead of Man United so doesn't get the ABU treatment and is under much lesser expectations so is viewed more favourably by pundits.
Man City wanted him at £85m - the release clause - which supposedly kicks in at the price at summer 2024.
West Ham may well deal at the price and buy two for the money if we don't finish top 5.
Selling Rice has been a blinder for West Ham - Kudus/JWP/Alvarez.
A similar trade with a similar effect on Paqueta would have WHU top 3.
West Ham also have an outstanding youth team coming through -youth cup winners last year (beat Arsenal 5-1 in the final) and went to extra time v Man City in the PL2 play off final.

He should be banned.
Madness.
He's borrowed City's lawyers, so the correct answer is: indefinitely.
City will buy him or Paulinha in January and will walk the league.
There’s no chance we sign a player for £100 million. We could barely get Amrabat through the door this season on loan. I can’t see that being the way Ratcliffe will want to operate anyway.
Rice’s heart was set on Arsenal. If City had matched Arsenal he would have chosen Arsenal. With players as talented as Rice they have a big say in the where they end up. I think he would rather have stayed with West Ham than move Noth and I am sure we would not have had a look in.
Hammers failing to win without him is a sure bet.
