What I don't get is 16 out of 20 PL clubs voted for, or abstained on a version of FFP with an eye on stopping City. The majority accuse us of ruining football by buying every player with a detectable pulse, & paying the equivalent of the UK's national debt in wages.

The fact that until 12 months ago Arsenal, Chelsea, Dippers & the Rags ALL had higher record purchases than City was lost on most.

We've identified Cucu as a possible acquisition, have made our interest known & have offered to double Brighton's profit 12 months after they bought him.

But no! They want over TREBLE what they paid for him a year ago & yet it's other clubs accusing City of ruining football? :-|

If offering a fair price & selling at fair prices is ruining football, then why isn't the blatant profiteering from a player who wants to leave?

Why aren't the press accusing Brighton of bringing inflation into the transfer market & ruining football?

Why does this only ever seem to apply to City? )(

FFS
financial fair sale
 
It's quite obvious Brighton haven't got a replacement lined up yet for him.
I'm sure if they'd got it in place then this would be moving a lot faster.

We all should know by now the charade of a transfer, it's pure pantomime.




......and oh yes it is :)

I mean, of course we think Cucurella is a better left back than Zinchenko. Zin is a midfielder and Arsenal have signed Zin as a midfielder where he plays for and is captain of his national team.

Green Bay Packer's quarterback, whose home field is Lambeau Field where City played on Saturday. One of the most instantly recognizable sportsmen over here. Won the Super Bowl and has been MVP (Most Valuable Player - Yank parlance) at least once. Hope that helps ;)

If spurs offered 30m for Cucurella they be treated totally differently to us and they would get him for 35/40m!

It’s like the Grealish deal Villa tried everything to not sell him to us even with a buyout!

I predict if we don’t get him he will end up going for way less than what we have offered now!

Always been the case since the takeover and all these other sets of fans never see the irony in…

“You’ve spent more money than everyone else, you’re playing in cheat mode”

“Oh you want to sign our £30m rated player? Okay, we want £50m for him!”

And year later… “I see you’ve signed another £50m player, don’t know how you get away with it”…”oh, hiya Spurs, you want our highly rated midfielder? Okay, that’s £30m!”

At least we haven't paid 85m for a player valued at 25m last season, we wouldn't have heard the last of it.

What he fails to understand is that Zinc was getting into a Man City team,not a Brighton 11.He also offers far more as a squad/utility player.....so the claim that Cucu is 'better' is very much open to debate and interpretation.

I guess we could make it 35 to show a bit of good will and stop them whining?

As some of us have noted begrudgingly before, Cucu is NOT better than Zinchencko. Perhaps a superior defensive left back, the way Walker is a superior defensive RB to Cancelo. But I'm not sure one can say Categorically that Walker is better than Cancelo. It just depends on what you are discussing.

Cucu and Zinchencko should cost about the same to be honest.
 
He is their prized asset just like Bernardino is to us. We will start abusing management if we don't get good amount for him. Same goes for Brighton

Imagine if we had gotten Kane. Bayern would have gotten Haaland. So happy we missed out on Kane.

I've often thought about that. More likely, I think, Håland would have gone abroad, to someone like Real or P.S.G. Or — grisly thought — to Liverpool. It shows that we were absolutely right to be a bit patient. As I think we will be here if the price is wrong for us. We'll manage if we don't get Cucu. As we did when Vin bowed out, and we didn't really get a replacement. As we did when Sergio bowed out, and we didn't get a replacement. We'll manage…

He does make a point though, 30m is too low, but 40m imo is fair

No it's not. We can compare Cucu to all similar Fullbacks who have moved this transfer window.
Tagliafixo, Raum, Sosa, Grimaldo, etc. We can check the price range on all those guys and none of them are close to 30 million. So no, it's not a low ball. Brighton might want more, but let's stop pretending 30 million is chicken change. :(

So if £30M is NOT too low, why do City continue to carry on with any sort of negotiations ? It appears that City do not agree with you.
