Marc Cucurella

[Tangled up in blue.]

Can't see Brighton lowering their valuation.

Can't see City paying it.

Expecting to hear that we've walked away in the next weeks.

WEEKS!

Fabrizio says something fans dont like = what a bullshit grifter!

Fabrizio says something fans like = excellent news!!

We are fickle aren`t we.

As Ric said earlier, an 'undisclosed fee' could help both clubs save face. They'll be telling 'their' journos and fans that the fee is closer to 50m, we'll be telling 'our' journos and fans the fee is closer to 40m.

But I’m sure private jets to the sun can be arranged by MCFC ;)

Abu Dhabi is the place (or should that be palace) to be.

It’s strange this transfer request isn’t breaking news on Sky.

How social media works

I always thought he was a top guy. I never slagged him off....honestly;-)

 

[TheThirdDeano]

I exclusively believe Romano but only when he's saying things I want to hear

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

Don't believe it

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Prior to us complying with FFP we set a precedent years before mate. Most of our players signed since ADUG bought us have been inflated fees due to their(our) wealth. I wouldn't want to miss out on signing Cucuralla because we're baulking on an odd million or two price difference.

Nor would I if it's only a million or two, and whilst it's true that we paid OTT for a lot of players in the earlier days of ADUG, IMO the goalposts have moved in the Pep era (and also the post-Der Spiegel/CAS era) with the scrutiny and the criticism intensified

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

You honestly believe he just made this up re cucurella? Risking his multi million pound business in the process. His agent has clearly been feeding him info throughout the whole saga

Why does having a twitter account and spouting constant bs make your business multi millions?

And one of them said his Mrs doesn't want to leave because Manchester hasn't got a beach.

Sunbathing at Sale water-park - what's not to love?

 

[Lord of the Ings]

My man blud is on his knees to join the biggest club in Manchester

Harry Kane never handed in a transfer request mate.

There’s the difference.

Harry Kane also never had a good agent.

Not strange at all. They've just spent 20 minutes talking about Ronaldo

Has it been on SSN yet

 

[Bluewars]

what you acting like this is some surprise? Grealish is the most marketable english player and that is a fact. 100 mil makes total sense for him in a financial sense. 50 mil for cucu makes no sense for us in a financial sense because he has no marketing value, less likely to bring new fans, no shirt sales, no new sponsors, might leave in a couple of years etc

The Marketing Value Cup and The Net Spend Title 2022, we've done the double already!

Yeah - providing this update is accurate, you’d have to assume we’ll go the extra mile to make this happen now.

Given the calibre of people running our Club, I can’t see us being so disloyal as to leave a player stewing at his current club after he’s tried to make the deal happen by handing in a request.

That would be a pretty horrendous message to send to any future players, not to mention a complete stitch up of a player who clearly wants to play for City. I just can’t see us doing that to him.

Successful negotiations between three parties require each to show a bit of willing and flexibility - Cucurella has done his bit, I’d imagine we’ll do ours too.

The question is will Bloom block his player’s desired move this publicly - with the precedent this sets for him in future potential acquisitions - or will he show a bit of willing and move on to the next one with a very tidy profit in the bank?

What are you talking about?

We made a 30m bid and are willing to go up to 40m, is that not enough commitment? You might as well just say we should just pay the 50m.

The money men at city know what they are doing, trust them.

On in a minute after they've stopped wanking over Ronaldo
