Marc Cucurella

[grim up north]

I get the impression Cucu is gonna be stuck in Brighton the way mr Bloom is holding him for ransom

Perhaps they really don’t want to sell him, and if they have to, will get maximum money they can

It's curious how the player and the agent immediately found a deal with Chelsea after we pulled out. The whole narrative, "He only wants City" and he build a wall in Jerusalem for us is a bit silly. Based on the last few years, we performed out of this world with 90% of our team playing in every possible position on the pitch.

Yeah, it would have been cool to see him, but one good season, and statistics are not enough for a valuation which now is at 50-55+ all of a sudden. We have an academy for a reason, and as proven in the past our recruitment is one of the best of the world. If our team thinks we should not pay x amount, we should not. I'm sure we'll find a left-back, and if not, get ready for Jack Grealish at Lb for your seasonal Pep Madness.

If they do want more than 50m and there’s any truth to that then bloom is, as we say in yankland, a total fucking nimrod.

The transfer market is totally fucked right now. Can't wait till this bubble bursts. The prices being thrown around are just fucking ridiculous. Cucurella for 50m+, Carney for 20m, I don't even want to talk about Super Jack's fee. That market correction has to happen asap.

That’s almost certainly true, as it’s very likely to be more or less than 19!
That being said, it was 19 points the season before as well..

Which by sheer odds alone should make it even less likely. One to watch, a side quirk to the league table.

Don't think we can moan about the transfer market being fucked when we paid £100m for Grealish

Market is fine. Clubs will pay what they feel a player is worth to them. We have shown this numerous times by walking away from deals that we thought were poor value.

"Brighton want Levi Colwill. If Chelsea sell him, then they get Cucurella. Cucurella is in Spain chilling. Contract is till 2026 - Brighton don’t have to do anything."

If that's true...hope all of you who talked bad about Txiki can apologize to the man ;)

 

[bumbleblue]

So £50 M plus and a £20M rated young prospect . Chelsea must really be mad. Well played Txiki, even if Cucurella is Roberto Carlos and prime Maldini rolled into one he made the right call here.

Why, we’d have happily included Colwill in any deal. ;-)
