Much more subtle though :)Just one more thing.
Personally I'd like the player that better helps us win trophies and don't care how much they cost. I don't believe most people have watched Sosa enough to have an informed view.
That can mean both things in fairness. Not many watched Dias before either.
I haven't watched enough of Either Cucu or So-so. Trust the club either way, both footballing-wise and financially which is their decision.
It's relevant wrt the type of a LB we need. If Pep and Txiki regard JWE as a big talent and a potential 50m FB, it's pointless to pay 50m for Cucu. We may be happy with a cheap option such as Sosa who wouldn't block JWE's development.
Don't think either one would block his development, if only one is coming in and we go with 3 FBs.

You can grant his wishes anytime in the window to also suit our own needs...him leaving early weakens our negotiating stance as selling clubs know we are even lighter in the LB position.Because Zinchenko doesn't want to wait to decide his future, he already made up his mind to leave doesn't matter Cucurella is coming or not. City felt his contribution for over five years with mostly not a full time regular is enough granting his wishes to let him go.

What happens if we pay 45-50m for Cucu and JWE turns out to be a highly talented LB who wants to play much more minutes?
If JWE competes with a cheaper new LB, he can displace him and play gradually more and more minutes. But if a 50m LB stands in his way, his playing time will stay limited even if he improves a lot.
From JWE's perspective, it's not the same whether we buy a back-up LB to rotate Cancelo or a first choice LB. An expensive first choice LB would limit JWE's minutes over the next 2-3 years much more than a squad player like, say, Sosa.
This is probably a minor point, but it might have some weight for Txiki and Pep.
How old is JWE, if he’s that good we will manage his expectations and playing time just like Foden. His time will come maybe this season is the start of that. Trust Pep and club to do what’s right, it’s not like we’re repeating mistakes of the past. This club is the best run club in the world, just relax and enjoy the rideWhat happens if we pay 45-50m for Cucu and JWE turns out to be a highly talented LB who wants to play much more minutes?

I'm not worried at all. Just thinking that plans about JWE's future might play some role in how Txiki and Pep see the situation and why they might be reluctant to pay 50m for Cucu in spite of selling players for 250m this calendar year.
