Cucurella to CITY


Cucurella deal no further on. The clubs seem no closer on valuations. Borna Sosa is the favourite alternative if a deal cannot be struck.

City rejected an offer of £16 million for Delap from Southampton.

City are deciding whether to loan McAtee or keep him. Half the PL want him on loan so the decision is likely to a joint one between City and the player.

Today has all been about Esbrand. His first team performances have been so good that some posters, who thought we needed two left backs, now think we need only one. Some that thought we needed only one now think we don’t need any. Another stream of thought is that we should still buy a left back but as a back up to Esbrand. Everyone wants a solution before we play West Ham given that any new signing will have already missed most if not all all our pre season training.

We have a brilliant Academy.

The window closes 11PM on 1st September.

I’ll post one of these most evenings around this time on this thread

You are welcome.

I get your point but it's more about our plans than about his demands. We don't plan the squad and the future of the academy talents with regard to the minutes they played in previous seasons. Otherwise, it would be hopeless for them.

Take Palmer. He started only one PL game last season and played a small fraction of Sterling's minutes. But we expect big things from Palmer and won't sign a player, say a winger, who could block his future integration in the team. The same holds about McAtee.

If we expect JWE to improve by leaps and bounds, we may be wary of signing a player who could block his development. Such considerations play a role in our plans. Whether we plan the future squad with JWE is anyone's guess, though. It's a bit academic right now. He should get over his injuries. We need an experienced LB, that much is clear.

JWE will backup whoever we get as LB
 
Guardiola, on outgoings and window so far:

'I'm excited. Sometimes the market is strange. Normally we are a team that buy and didn't sell much. This summer for different reasons, we sell some players. If they stayed longer there would be no problem. They proved how good they are. But sometimes the players want more and the club feel it is the right moment to do it. Chelsea and Arsenal have paid the money — that is fair.'

An improved bid going in later today on Cucurella.

I believe closer to £40m with add ons.

I remain positive.

Brighton hold’em, the river card is down.

Over to you Bloom. Awaits influx of needy Brighton fans and Twitter bullshitters.
 
Either way it's a good idea to get a move on and not get dragged here one way or the other so I'm glad progress is being made

Your brother said on friday that everything was agreed between us, Brighton and Cucu. The only obstacle was a mystery city player that wasn’t sure of going the other way. Have we convinced this certain player now?
