West Ham fans divided over Paquetá’s switch to Flamengo | OneFootball

“Well, it’s complicated, to be honest. I think he is very much loved by all the fans and I think it’s really respectable the way he didn’t go to any other Premier League club. Nobody wanted to see him leave. I think it’s a bit sad, obviously, if he goes. It seems like it’s pretty much confirmed, but let’s see. I’d be happy if he stayed, but he’s also not very consistent. He is loved by all the fans. I’d be happy if he stayed, but if he leaves, I’m glad he’s going back to his original club, in his own country, which is probably much better for him and his family as well,” said one fan. “This had been going on for a long time. He went through some tough years, with the investigations and everything. And I also think he’s too good for West Ham. West Ham doesn’t have players around him. At this point, I don’t blame him. Maybe it should have been done differently, but I think the board is also to blame, because the way they made everything public, they didn’t handle the situation well,” said another. “It’s disappointing, because when he scored that goal, the message was something like: ‘yes, I’m going to stay at the club’. It really seemed like he wanted to play for the club and that he loved the club. And then, in the middle of the season, when we’re going through more difficulties, he decides to leave. It’s sad and hard, because, I don’t know, he made it very clear that he wanted to stay. It was almost like ‘this is the club’. And now he’s leaving,” commented a West Ham fan.
