Paquetá is a pretty mediocre player, total failure at Milan, hope he stays away.

50 million for Maddison or 65 for this guy? You decide.
Spot on, I don’t trust Paqueta or really any Lyon players, and especially not at that price.
He’s not even that young, turns 25 in a month. Basically Maddison’s age.
Paqueta has 21 goals and 16 assists in all competitions in his four years in Europe. Maddison had 18 goals and 12 assists just last year.
Over the past 4 seasons he's averaging 33.25 PL games per season...
Ok disagreed again, up to you don't grow up ↓.
And yet on the same page, I have agrees to people I agreed with.
That’s how the fucking system works. So stop crying.
It’s not as if I’ve gone on a spree on your shit posts, is it.
Like I said, post something sensible and I’ll agree with it.
But stop taking things off topic.

have a word with this fucking nut case please, bored of seeing this guy take thread after thread off topic.Sorry for tagging you but I’m not putting up with this guys whinging behaviour anymore.
you’re going to tell me to use the ignore function and shut up, aren’t you 
Maddison all day, for me.
2 years left on his contract. Same as Kalvin Philips who just went for £45m and a regular England international. Given Maddisons creativity and goals reckon it might be £55m.

Maddison for £55m would not be a bad deal tbh. I'd expect more like £70m given he's still relatively young, homegrown, and the selling club being Leicester.
Flopped at Milan, yes but has been absolutely quality for the Brazilian National Team which is arguably, the most dominant in world football today.
I watch every Brazil game and so, this is my opinion and not something I have just read. He has basically made it impossible for Tite to drop him from the starting 11.
Never seen him play for Lyon. However, from what I read he has looked very good there and has good stats to back it.
A player can flop somewhere and then be a success elsewhere. See Kulusevski, for example.
Something weird is happening at Leicester. It seems like they are in an unstable situation. Vardy being injured last season is not helping them and his wife has made him unpopular with his teammates. There is also rumours of discontent from their owners if they should be bankrolling the club as much in the future.
I stand corrected then
National team football usually a level below PL, and we've learned from Ndombele, N'Jie, Nkoudou the standard required at Lyon and French league is way less in terms of intensity and is physically much more demanding.

Paqueta has 21 goals and 16 assists in all competitions in his four years in Europe. which is what you might expect from a 21 year old very early in his career, not a 25 year old. Put those sort of stats beside Kulusevski (who you mentioned as a comparison) in 6 months getting 5 goals and 8 assists (ie 10 goals and 16 assists in a full year in PL , much tougher league than French league ) and its clear Paqueta has to play out of his skin to compete.Certainly not a £50m player, more a £30m player

This is nonsense. N'Jie and Nkoudou didn't fail because of a lack of physicality or intensity, they just weren't good enough for a team at the top end of the PL, they weren't good enough for teams at the top of Ligue 1 either. They were young punts that didn't pan out like Clarke or Rodon.
By your logic we've learned from Kante that that Ligue1 is vastly superior to the PL because he never managed to win Ligue1 but pissed the PL twice. He's also able to play with more intensity and physicality than most PL players.
Did we learn from signing people like Sissoko and Doherty from the PL that the PL is shit?
There are plenty of players from Ligue1 (and other leagues) who have been great allover Europe, including in (and winning) the PL.

Kulesevski was failing at Juve in Serie A, yet found it piss easy to score and assist in the PL. What have we learned from this, that Serie A is tougher than the PL?
Your theory is nonsense. It's just about finding the right players. Wherever you are looking, and Ligue 1 doesn't lack physicality or intensity - it just lacks finesse, because it all gets exported pretty quickly to the rest of Europe.

One Kante does not cancel out a dozen N guys.
And Kulu and Bentacur came from Italy.
Yeah and Kulusevski had 10 goals and 8 assists as a 19 year old in Serie A at Parma.National team football usually a level below PL, and we've learned from Ndombele, N'Jie, Nkoudou the standard required at Lyon and French league is way less in terms of intensity and is physically much more demanding.

Paqueta looks a decent player, his defensive and pressing numbers are excellent too. But I don’t see enough output at his age to pay the Jean-Michel Aulas tax to get him out of Lyon.
Also you watch his clips and it’s a bunch of bullshit flicks, backheels, rainbows, and flair shit that just doesn’t work in the premier league or any decent competition.
