January Transfer speculation, (it will be here before you know it)
Could not attach the article but The Times is reporting that Paqueta is looking for an exit in the January window.
The report states that Villa made a bid in the summer once his spot fixing accusations went away which was rebuffed. I must admit I was hopeful that we would see a reinvigorated Paqueta with a point to prove so I was in favor of keeping him.
Unfortunately, imo, he has once again failed to impress so if we get a decent offer for him I would be happy to see him go although we are unlikely to see anything close to the £85m being banded around by Citeh back in the day.
Thoughts on a postcard……..

Thankfully the Sun reprinted the article a few hours later and it seems we rejected the Villa bid as we thought it was too late in the window to find a replacement
Allegedly we've slapped a £60m price tag on him which seems to be putting off potential buyers

Daily Mail reporting that Paqueta's people have denied he wants to leave

Follow Nuno's comments at his press conference it doesn't sound like there is any money to spend.
Nice to see the board have got the excuses out early so we don't get our expectations up that they might actually try to help NES with some new players in January.
Don’t believe it myself.
If we go down I suspect he will be Liverpool or City bound, not Spurs.
We all know there is no way he is sold, as we will be confirming our relegation.
From what little I saw of him while he was at Wolves he lost none of his determination and commitment but has lost a fair amount of pace - and he wasn’t that quick when he was with us
