London is closer to the Barcelona beach than Manchester.. maybe he can commute daily to the beach in Brighton lol

*He loved the beach in Brighton.

Wouldn't this just play out beautifully if Cucurella turned out to be a bit shit?

lets face it - 12 months ago he was "just" a £15m player signing for Brighton (no disrespect to Brighton) and now he's an amazing £50m LB? After one season???

Don't think he will like playing as wing back in 3-4-3, he will struggled to adapt for sure.

Fair play to Chelsea. Great fit for them will play as lcb and a wing back like he does at Brighton. Pleased cucurella gets his move but absolutely gutted from our perspective.

Hugely fucked this up. Bloom comes out of this well we look a bit daft imo

Yep. Big win for Chelsea.

Let’s hope we move quickly for another target. Hopefully one with a release clause which is our specialty.

“Wasted months” means we’ve been chasing a player all summer who we were never going to pay the required fee for, and now have 1 month to try and find someone in budget, it’s not a difficult concept.

It might not be "difficult" but it's complete bullshit as a concept.

The club will have had a list of 3+ options for LB by January, and while Cucurella might have been identified as the preferred choice, they'll also have laid the groundwork for the other options. We know this because they literally shot a documentary showing a transfer planning meeting.

This entire "wasted months" thing is embarrassing, it only exists in your head.

And yeah, maybe they'll decide to get someone in the next few weeks like Dias when the Koulibaly move broke down, or maybe they'll do what they did with Mahrez, Rodri and Haaland and decide to get a better candidate in January, or next summer, and that will be because they've decided that the PL TOTS LB, and Wilson-Esbrand and Aké is enough for that amount of time.
 
Look a bit daft. Yeah I’d say. We sit there and make knowingly low offers for months and Chelsea comes in and does the deal in a half hour.

I’m sure the club will strategically stick some bit of news thru jack or pol in the next day or so for another saga to be drawn out for a few more weeks.

Total shitshow

You're probably right.
Was thinking it was last years CL.

Yeah I meant the CL final.

Zinny has a 100 positives and loves City. I love the guy but his defense isn't the best. Ake is better defensively at LB but obviously isn't good with his passing.

So we are looking for an upgrade there.

Bullshit as a concept, right ok well i’ll email that to West Ham when Bowens tearing down the RW on Sunday see if he’ll go easy while we take our time looking for a LB.

I’ve said this repeatedly, the way some talk about how we must sign him you’d think he’s been the world best LB for years! He’s had a good season in an average mid table team and won player of the year, that apparently makes him a must have.
I suspect it’s not really about him though and more about their need for a LB in general, yes we need one but I’ve faith the club will sort one out be it him or someone else. I do t really care who to be honest as long as the price is right and he puts a shift in.
