Once our transfer targets used to be written on the back of a fag packet - now we have the complete Paqueta. The board have certainly pushed the boat out with the £51m purchase of Lucas Paquetta from Lyon. We saw him in the Europa League last season and he started the move that saw Aaron Cresswell sent off in the home leg.
Lucas has an impressive record in France and is a regular for Brazil. He looks a Payet-like creative player who could well become a cult figure. Mind you as some fans say, record signings do make us a little bit nervous when you think of Haller, Anderson Carroll and Foe, all of whom had mixed careers with the Hammers. But let’s hope Moyes has done his homework and Paqueta sees us step up into the top six.
