Marc Cucurella

[p.taker]

no chance, now way would they play him, possible injury etc

I've heard this before. And then when he plays people will be like it's all over.

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

NO player ask's for a move unless he has been told to do so buy the club that's want to buy him.

If we left him high and dry now our reputation in the market would be destroyed, hence why a deal is now certain.

Yes, that occurred to me too. Told, perhaps not. But gently and firmly invited, sure. In fact, it could be a reason why we'll end up paying the £50 million!!

Totally unrelated. For those who haven't figured it out yet JWE is Zinchenko's replacement.
If they're not comfortable with that it could be Sosa or Grimaldo replacing Zin.

Cucurella is its own transaction, not related to Zinchenko's departure. Its a deferred move to replace Mendy. If anyone is struggling with their memory here's a reminder that when healthy Mendy was Pep's first choice LB. Not Zin and not Cancelo.

In 2018 before the 2nd big injury he was.

In 2020/21 he was 3rd choice and got his games when we were understrength.

None of this makes sense.

I've heard of a pebble beach if that makes sense

 

[Zenmanc]

It will interesting to see if Cucurella plays for them in the Espanol match tomorrow.

That'd be Cucu.

He was but by then he was clearly no longer a “healthy Mendy” (@JewelZee 's words). He just wasn't the same player, and it was painfully obvious that he was never going to be.
When I think about it, our two back-to-backs are amazing, but the second is more amazing, perhaps, than the first.

Maybe im being a bit thick here but why is he waiving money if he hands in a transfer request ? Genuine question

They give up any unpaid bonuses like loyalty payments etc

 

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Any wau i will still post on here even after this thread is closed as not only a BHAFC fan but football fan in general.

Hope you will, mate.

 

[Coatigan]

By putting a request in writing I assume it means he will lose the ability to claim any loyalty bonuses in his current contract.

Depends on the timing. Might not make any financial difference whatsoever, and be more of a symbolic move. Still a big thing to do, he must have felt he needed to

Cucurella transfer request piss boiling.

 

[TheBlueCat]

Man City have caused this. Disgusting club, disgusting manager.

All the money in the world but tight fisted scrooges trying to screw over our club.

Another one. If we came to them with massive money they'd say we're cherry picking players but try and negotiate and we're tight. Amazing

You are right it is laughable. The world is full of knob heads mate.. there plenty on here tbf.

 

[TheBlueCat]

I thought you were signing raggy Brandon?

Isn’t he too shit for the premiership? I think BAHA have higher aspirations

 

[Coatigan]

He’ll lose all loyalty bonuses mate.

He loses them anyway, if he leaves and they sell him without a transfer request. If he has already had the first installment paid, which is likely as it is the end of july, he might not lose anything at all.

 

[TheBlueCat]

43 years a supporter, have to admit being homeless,1 goal away from being out the league and being owned by a w anchor who payed £47 to buy us then to sell the Goldstone for £14m to a company of his, and travelling 4 motorways just to see a home game has made me thick skinned. Just thankfull i have a club to support, and living the dream of watching all the talent in the premier league and being part of it.

Fair play fella, I remember supporting City when we were shit, but I didn’t have that to contend with. You have my admiration and respect

He gets them paid up if the club want to sell him without a request, 4 more years' worth.

I know who my favourites for relegation are! (Then again, they always have been since the 'clogging' incident)

 

[RandomJ]

Sounds like he’s doing everything he can on his end. Hope we don’t end up leaving him hanging by walking away.

 

[andyhinch]

Cheers. Myself of cause i dont want him to go, will i be upset yes a little, but im realistic in the fact of where we are in the food chain, we are a stepping stone for good players to develope and progress to bigger clubs.
For any player outside the top 6, when one of them clubs take an intrest in you how can ur head not be turned.
When he gies to you as im sure he will when we play you will i boo him, no i would never do that to any former player, unless of course he was going to Palace. All i would hope is that he has a bad game just twice in the season both against us.
I will wish him good luck and hope he wins medals with you, and at least i can say were part of his progression. Just another player going on to better things.

Only problem is if your in a final against Spuds that going to be hard for me as they have Bissouma.
with regards to any unsavoury comments, i dont think i had had any directed at me, im on another teams forum so i respect that. Yes some of the comments i dont agree with but thats part of a football forum, triballism. It would be boring if you didnt get that.

Any wau i will still post on here even after this thread is closed as not only a BHAFC fan but football fan in general.

Stick to off topic, it’s where the sensible ones hang out, especially on match days ;-)
