Hate the idea of arm twisting a club into the deal but if one is required then it is this one. We should tell Cucu's agent to tell Cucurella to hand in a transfer request and go on a strike. We can then wait till end of August when his market value would have plummeted and then see how Bloom reacts to it. Still think this will be done at £35m + £7m in add on.

Brilliant timing, well done. Could do with a few bookies tips to help with the utility bills if you would be so kind.

Absolutely disagree you should never encourage a player to strike or hand in a transfer request. Handing in a transfer request is on the player themselves.

Clubs should only be in negotiation based on the fee they are prepared to pay/receive. If those valuations are not agreeable, then either side should walk away

Fucking get in!

Good info from Romano about the transfer request despite some saying he copies and pastes off this forum :-)

Good timing there.

Interesting to see what happens now.

I feel it is. City won't get fleeced

Maybe the deal is held up until we can get a sheep shearer in for Cocorella's hair do? ; )

Clearly been speaking to Cucu’s agent on this one

 

[Nascent Blues]

But according to the Brighton fans who have come on here, he's really settled and wouldn't do anything to upset the apple cart...

 

[Rammy Blue]

Go on Cucu lad, well in.

So the day after Pol says we are walking away he hands in a transfer request.
Wonder if that was leaked by city knowing he would do that.

A transfer request is not inconsequential. In this case, it is necessary to get the asking price under 50m, but IMO it won't be sufficient to buy Cucu unless we make an offer of 45m (plus add ons) or at least 40m + 8-10m in (easy) achievable add ons. Let's hope for the best!

Edit: given that Cucu will lose guaranteed bonuses, 45-47m including add-ons will hopefully be enough. Brighton won't accept 'only' 40m.

To me a transfer request would confirm a few things; the player is willing to apply some pressure internally to help the move (and isn’t ‘happy with any outcome’), and the clubs are still far apart enough on a few that he feels the need to do this. The transfer request doesn’t guarantee anything but it does put Brighton in a difficult position to hold on to the player.

I’d still say this gets done at around £40-45m.

vamos cucu!!

 

[simon23]

Its Ramano.....!!!!!

Needs to be taken with a huge pinch of salt and also needs to be looked where he copied and pasted it from ;-)

May also mean Cucu forgoes some bonuses due that help bring the fee down.

And most importantly he’s desperate to get to city which is glorious. I’d hate for city to miss out on him simply due to the fact at how badly he wants it. Love him.
