Only one of those is from the UK and he ain't good enough. There's a reason the 8th best team in country want rid.Someone plz start a thread of Antonee Robinson or Luke Thomas please!
Why are we looking at some midfield converted left back in farmers league while ignoring the talents in our own backyard? Isn't full back a speciality of UK (not goalkeeper)?

How is our relationship with Fulham? Cordial?Robinson is very raw but a great athlete and clearly a talented kid.

I’ve only seen him play a couple of times, so I acknowledge my sample size isn’t particularly large - but he struck me as having a decent balance between being pretty solid defensively and threatening going forward.
Which is apparently what interested us about Cucurella.
No doubt Fulham will want £65million for him though!

He turns 25 on Monday, he’s not a kid in footballing terms.
I’m pretty confident we aren’t going to buy a 25 year old with one season of top flight experience (When he wasn’t even first choice).

We are currently linked with someone from Belgium league with 1 year experience.
And I think that Championship is much closer to PL than Belgium league...

We were all set to spend £40m on a 24 year old with just one season playing in the PL a week ago, so it’s not that outlandish an idea.
I appreciate he played in La Liga for a couple of seasons with Getafe, but its hardly like he had a particularly impressive depth of experience either.

If you can prove it, I forgive you!Think quite a few of us did it for a laugh tbh mate.

The kid from Belgium is 21.
At 25 are you still raw? Or are you just not very good...

Cucurella has 4 seasons experience in the top flight and a season of Europa League football, and is younger than Robinson, with his 27 top flight appearances.

Plenty of juice in your knickersI doubt we can make Top2 if not signing a decent LB in this summer window. Signing one in the winter will be TOOOOOO late.
Walker will be burnt out by the end of Sep if no one come.

I didn’t dispute any of that in my post mate - but they’ve both played the same number of seasons in the PL, and Cucurella is just 11 months younger, so the difference isn’t as extreme as you’re making out.
Cucurella definitely showed himself to be a much better player than Robinson in his one season in our League, fair enough - but neither them are exactly bringing a depth of experience at the top level and are a similar age.

Sorry, but you continually trying to equate paying in the championship with playing in LaLiga at Europa League level is such obvious bullshit im not interested.
Robinson didn't see top flight football until he was 23, at which point Cucurella had played 4 seasons in the topflight and just signed for Brighton.
Getting lovesick over every left back to play well on the opening day of the season is embarrassing even for the transfer forum.

At no point have I said that, so well done for inventing a point to decide you’re not interested in.

What is this then?

A 24 year old with 4 seasons of top flight football doesn't have depth of experience? How many more seasons of experience can a 24 year old have?
Cucurella has played 140 top flight games. Robinson 29. To try and pretend they're similar is complete bullshit.
Robinson's?Plenty of juice in your knickers
