It rarely works out well in the end, take Paqueta, Payet, even Di Canio it ended somewhat acrimoniously. It wouldn't put me off in future, just more of an acceptance that this kind of thing is likely when they throw their toys out the pram when they don't get their way. Seems to come with the off the cuff selfish mentality in their play just as much as it comes off it as well. 

Paqueta doesn't come close to Di Canio or Payet.

Paqueta going would be good business.  I'd rather see players like Mayers in the side than showboaters like this Brazilian turd.

He asked the question.

Oh come on you love to repeat a stat..no need  to deny it  

I don't think you like realising just how poor Paqueta has been for us overall for the cost and aggravation he's caused the Club, bar that 1 pass he wants to dine out on for the rest of his career.

He did look injured though when he went off against Forest.

Not sure how much dough we'll get for him, especially from Flamengo, if that's where he ends up.

A lot of where we are now is down to not being able to shift him on to city for big money at the time. He should never have got himself into a position that raised suspicions, stupid bookings.

Flakey fucker who the club stood by through his crap performances. He has been a disastrous signing on a par with Kilmen

Why keep a player that does not want to be here? Especially in our predicament. 

Sooner he fucks off the better.

West Ham fan TV said he was going to Spurs yesterday so I take all this shit with a pinch of salt.

If he goes then so be it, other than one pass in the Europa final he has been bang average.

He's been one of the biggest problems with the club for years.

Temperamental, unprofessional, inconsistent at best,...... all the problems around him hang about like a bad smell.

Don't worry! Don't worry!

Sullivan knows (KNOWS) exactly what the fans want and will deliver against those expectations.

But look at our bench.  The attacking options are absolutely shocking.

We needed these two strikers before we decided to offload Callum Wilson.

The need for a CB just increased with Stavros getting injured. Another quality, strong, athletic ball carrying, goal scoring central midfielder also still needed. I mean we need more and what we need we wont get at least in terms of quality so another defeat at Spurs next week looks assured?
