Paqueta - hit with gambling charge

His is much worse though, being alleged he bet on himself to be booked - which moves it to match fixing.

He's also going to for the "not me guv" defense - but you would think they have evidence after an 8 month investigation. If found guilty he's going to have book thrown at him - it'll potentially end his career I would think.

Just waiting to hear we'd actually agreed a pre-contract agreement with him for next season.

My worry is twofold:
1 - Man City turn to Bruno as they realise it's not worth going after Paqueta with this hanging.
2 - Bruno as his best mate, is somehow caught up in it.

Don’t worry he went 30 games without being booked but then he did have lots before Paqueta was interviewed

Next we'll find out that Bruno was betting against himself getting booked!

Made the national news here in Brazil. Said he was accused of getting 4 yellow cards in games to benefit some gamblers. They showed the ‘tackles’ which were reckless to say the least.
He is denying it all.

Big trouble for him methinks.

I’d think most clubs might be concerned about 2)… and be less likely to bid for Bruno, certainly not this transfer window and make sure that nothing comes out in the next season.

Gives us at least 1 more season with Bruno and a chance for us all to see how well we can do with a full team and reinforcements (fingers crossed both fronts go well)

Bruno hasn't exhibited any signs that he was involved at all.

First of all he's a rather religious guy and appears to be very moral. He's known that Paquetta was under investigation for more then 18months so his form would have dropped like Tonali's did when he felt the stress of the off-field problems in his personal life.

It would have been swirling among the gutter snipes & the tabloid trashmen if there was any hint of one of our players aside from Tonali being involved.

As there has been zero mentioned during this whole process. I would be very surprised if Bruno is involved at all.

Oh I completely agree, but let’s keep that quiet and let other teams worry it could be the case and look elsewhere for a midfield maestro 😉
