Better PSG get their cheque book out and revamp who the best Brazilian player is in their squad, because if this guy were to end up at a rival Premier League club showcasing why they committed to their investment, they'll be plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth as to why we slept on this one just like we did on a certain highly regarded prospect at Sporting Lisbon, or somehow found the logic in only taking one half of the brilliant double act on show at Dinamo Zagreb that was Eduardo Da Silva and Luka Modric, when both could have been acquired for what was relatively peanuts.
Paqueta is as sure footed as a mountain goat as well as appearing to have been brought up eating plenty of hard food as we refer to it in the West Indian community, as to prove naturally sturdy and able to withstand the physicality of the Premier League and evoke memories of a similarly ambipedalled, diminutive, strong Spaniard who like David Silva before him proved that the size of your talent usually trumps the size of your physical presence outside the realm of brute force alone, and no, none of that was meant as a penis related euphemism.
But I guess that the likes of neither Santiago Cazorla, David Silva or Tomas Rosicky for that matter, would have been considered a good option to fill that left midfield role in a three as is currently occupied with a fair degree of success by Granit Xhaka, since all were playmakers stylistically associated with the fabled 'number 10 position' regardless of being able to play pretty much anywhere on the pitch with the graft, guile and tenacity to suit, as has the Brazilian.
