Or they just accept Chelsea’s 50 mill?City should go back to Brighton with the £50million they want but with a catch, say to Brighton, we will give you the money on one condition ? It's in instalments based on games he plays a season under his contract
so if he signs a 5 years deal and plays 30 games or more in all competitions every season, you get £10million a season, easy to work out 5 years £10million a year equals your £50million, BUT if picks up a long term injury and does not play the 30 games a season, then the price comes down by £5million every time
Chillwell, White, AWB all say hi50mil for a mid table team defender, fuck me lol
Aren’t they all with the pathetic £20m English tax though?Or they just accept Chelsea’s 50 mill?

You’re usually good poster. Let yourself down with that suggestion most of us hate Txixi.
Well I for one think Txiki is great for our club… done some great deals and walked away from some shockers…. Worth remembering Txiki is an employee and works to parameters set by others.

Might? not a scooby doo they will let him join us for a penny under what they value him at.
Cucurella burned his bridges with Brighton after handing in a transfer request. He can’t stay there now.
City don’t value him enough to get him.
Chelsea comes calling, paying the money and makes him a great personal offer. In no reality would he turn Chelsea down and put his entire career at stake, in case we do up our bid. He’s gone. And yes it’s a huge fkng mistake imo.
The thing is what if Cucu has his heart set on joining City & playing for Pep. He could easily turn down Chelsea if he doesnt fancy them for whatever reason. Brighton then will be a bit stuck having accepted a bid for him but unable to sell him. Its happened a few times over the years. The spanish connection at City may swing it. Lets see what materialises.not in a million years

None of them were worth £50m.

The only ones in our fans who “hate Txiki” are morons who don’t know the first thing about football. That’s a ridiculous comment.You make a valid point around entrenched positions. However I think you overstate the importance of fan opinion in any of this - certainly as far as City is concerned.
Our board will have made their valuation of the player based on a number of factors (priority bring one of them, as covered), and their reluctance to go above that valuation has seen them walk from a number of deals over the years - much to a large contingent of our fans’ frustration, as you’ve seen for yourself on here over the last couple of days.
Maguire, Sanchez, Fred, Koulibaly and Kounde are just a few names I can think of off the top of my head, but there are more. You can now add Cucurella to that list.
The reality is you’d have to say their valuation has been proven right every time.
It’s this perception that matters to our owners. The perception in the footballing world of being an exceptionally well run club, and not some bunch of mugs you can take the piss out of with outlandish prices.
Whether some of our fans on a message board think Txiki and the Club are ‘an embarrassment’ because they won’t just cough up the extra £10m needed to seal the deal doesn’t play into their thinking in any way. Otherwise they’d change the way they behave - which there’s no sign of them doing.
The entrenched position is nothing to do with fans on message boards and on Twitter - it’s entrenched from the start, and is entirely based on the board’s assessment of value.
Just like Tony Bloom did at your end - and fair play to him.
Although if that fucking idiot journo who does Bloom’s PR for him is anything to go by, I’d expect there’s a bit more fan perception involved in his how he wants his behaviour to be perceived by Brighton fans than Txiki does with ours.
Most of our fans hate Txiki and think he’s shite at his job, yet he carries on exactly the same and doesn’t seem to care remotely about their perception of him!

And risk staying at Brighton for another 4yearsThe thing is what if Cucu has his heart set on joining City & playing for Pep.
