It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Give over, “we are screwed” is pathetic enough.

Depends on the interpretation. Each to their own . So give over.

Do you think we will sign a left back before close of window, Cucurella or other?

I don't know. I hope we will or like I said "We are screwed". ;)

Zinc is done! Cucurella bid in, £37m + £12m in achievable add ons!!

So I would wager from this that £49m in total is in the right ball park for Brighton, though I can still forsee some horse trading over the structure and how much we pay up front. Possibly end up 42+7 or thereabouts?

That @SuperSilva21 posts is source enough :)

That'll do for me then. Didn't know he was an ITK.

Glad to hear there is finally movement on Cucurella.

With the money we’ve brought in and it being a primary pep target then whichever way it stacks up is no issue. I imagine the club don’t want to go above £50m including add ons but selling Zinchenko for £30m guaranteed fee shows a huge profit on our balance sheet again and pep will be ecstatic to get his number one fullback target.

I imagine they'll reject and ask for 50 upfront

They won’t, it’ll be close. We aren’t daft.

My guess is £40mil down with easy add ons to circa £50mil.

Sad to see Zinny go. But excited to see Cucurella in a City shirt, Our club will get this deal done!

I understand why people don’t like zinny leaving as he’s be a great servant to the club. However, it looks like a rebuild for a club a bit as getting rid of some important players and getting new exciting ones, we will now get to see a LB in their natural position which we haven’t seen in years. I guess we just couldn’t give the minutes he wanted.

Don't forget the striker too!
