Marc Cucurella

[DeBlueLou]

What are you guys on? Cucurella is 1.7m/5’8” he’s not playing CB regularly. Even in a 3 that’s far too small

He’s played there multiple times, “what are you on?”

 

[kun]

Chelsea’s strategy is scattergun but ours has just backfired big time.

How?

We were never willing to pay the asking price. We don't think he's worth it. Chelsea do.

We'll move on and, hopefully this window, get the right player.

 

[MCFC1993]

Whoever we sign isn't starting anyway.

Cancelo is our starting left back, Walker is our starting right back,

We just need depth for this season, with a view to being the starting left back long term when Cancelo probably shifts over to right back.

Plenty of others can do that job if we deem Cucurella to be overpriced.

 

[MeeBeeGeeBee]

If we have only bid 30m plus addons I can understand Brighton been pissed

Last report from Romano was City have bid £40m and Brighton didn't accept.

Correct.

He played most of his games there for Brighton last season mate

 

[kun]

10 times in his entire career. Hardly the same as playing there regularly.

And if they don’t? Do a full season with two senior fullbacks?

 

[vincent]

How has it backfired if we won't pay 50m and Brighton won't sell for less?
The Chelsea move will bring it to a conclusion.

Part of our strategy for this signing would have been to advise Cucurella and his agent to put a transfer request in and try and force Brighton to accept a lower fee. If that isn’t the case we have just wasted months pursuing someone who we were not prepared to pay the asking price for regardless.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

If Chelsea get him that is top class shithousery, you've got to hand it to them.

 

[kun]

And if they don’t? Do a full season with two senior fullbacks?

Or half? yes.
That's obvious.

We aren't going to "just sign someone".
Whether or not you or I would if we were in charge. The club won't.

Well done Txixi you've made a right balls of this one

It’s not lol we’ve basically gifted him to them with zero competition

TBF mate, not sure you or anyone on here knows our strategy.

Apparently he wants to play for Pep, let's see. If not, I'm sure we have a list of candidates.

Bizarre signing when they have Chillwell and Alonso

[jrb]

So, I take it Bloom is going to stand firm on his £50mill valuation if Chelsea put an offer in? Or is Bloom going to be a c*nt and sell him for less to get back at City? We'll see what plays out over the next few days.

Did nobody watch cucurella last season? He will play as a lcb for Chelsea like he does for Brighton when potter uses that formation.

 

[kun]

They might let Alonso go to Barca, they previously blocked the move

 

[Paul1970]

Find it really weird how people are saying we are messing around over £5- £10m as if it doesn't matter.

When your richest club in the world it doesn’t really . Look I get walking away as we are not to be held to ransom but in todays game £5-£10 mill is chump change .
