Marc Cucurella

Neither was White (IMO…..our 4th best CB at best) but we‘re ending up with £100m+ in our back pocket from a c£15m outlay.

Great business on your part from a financial perspective. But the value of the deal will depend on what you pay and how good the replacement is.

The fact he didn’t just want city and pep and happy to go to any bigger club for a bigger pay packet speak volumes.
He would have gone to rags, arse or spurs no doubt had they paid.
Pep wants players who want to play for him.
Perhaps Chelsea is a short train drive to Brighton beach though.

Interesting to see how it settles with Chilwell

Maybe we are in for him?

What I don't get in this is why we spent weeks talking to the player, his agent and Brighton if we weren't willing to pay close to what they wanted? Like me spending hours agreeing the colour of the Porsche and whether the car mats were included and then taking over when the dealer mentions the list price.

Is he worth £52.5m? No idea, I'll tell you in a couple of years, but what's the point of being so far away in valuation in a negotiation?
