Marc Cucurella

I reckon if Erling misses a couple more 3 yarders he'll be starting at left back.

 

[City Mike 1969]

So in your desperation to keep a left back, you quote a sky high price & if someone thinks he's worth it & pays it, it's them bringing inflationary pressure into the market, not the profiteering seller? Essentially this is what you're saying yeh?

OK then. Seeing as this is the case, why is it other PL clubs & the media keep spinning the narrative that it's CITY who keep bringing inflationary pressure into the transfer market & as such are ruining football to the point that very few can compete?

Are you aware that until last summer, Arsenal, Spuds, Chelsea, ManUre & The Scousers ALL had higher record transfer fees way in excess of City's?

My point is that irrespective of our annual revenue, Sheikh Mansour's mantra from the beginning was ALWAYS for a period of heavy investment to drive accelerated growth, & then City were on their own & that's how it's been since 2013/14 & we've been self sufficient ever since & have always spent within our means.

HENCE we'll walk away when the likes of Bloom takes the piss, OR he applies a punitive fee to Cucurella to scare us off (whichever way you look at it).

So I've noticed Brighton fans on here are still spinning the crap narrative that City are some loadsamoney oil rich club to whom money & real world value mean little. So more questions.

1. You yourself have confirmed Brighton's model of buy low, develop & sell on. So dya wanna stick to that model & be reasonable, or dya just wanna stiff moneybags City up the shitter?

2. If it's your model to sell players on, why place a king's ransom price on their heads & claim it's because you want to keep your best players? What is it? Are you a selling club, or dya have title ambitions & want to build a super team?

3. How will future emerging stars feel about going to Brighton if they believe if successful, there's a good chance of them being priced out of a dream move?

A question I’d like to ask some of them is …”do you think it’s appropriate to come the Charlie Big Potatoes when your rubbishy little club has spent literally 90% of its history outside the top flight?”

Rumours going round that Tony Bloom lost £2m on a horse bet at Goodwood, he needs Chelsea to up there offer to £54.5m..

 

[pudge]

It's clearly well along and that Romano **** is just applying the pressure for his agent buddy.

I'd laugh my bollocks off if it doesn't happen though, we might never have to hear that 'Here we go' shite again.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

does he track back?

Only when hes wrong!:))

in their tweet brighton didn´t mention chelsea..it could suggest brighton wants a third party to join/comeback to the table...i think cucurella prefers city & barca over chelsea but chelsea over brighton...would be surprised if txiki change his mind

 

[Toranaga sama]

In the "Why Always Us?" podcast, Pol Ballus said that Brighton never set the price tag or specific number, Brighton only stress on the fact that they rate Cucurella higher than Ben White. Which basically means that Cucurella price is open ended. No wonder City pulled the plug after realizing that.

I wouldn't be too surprised if Cucurella joins Chelsea for £55m+.

We are not that desperate for a LB

It was in jest but I’d like to think we are pretty desperate for a LB

 

[TheBlueCat]

Don't forget we were shit once like them

Mate we were actually a lot worse than Brighton, but I still can’t be doing with their nonsense. City are done with this deal so I don’t know why Brighton’s fans are still here gobbling off. Maybe they don’t realise football is tribal, I don’t come here to be politically correct, I have to be that way in the real world. When im at the football I can shout “fuck off” a lot and lose my shit. Come Monday, I have to pretend I am cool with my clients. Not here though.. Maybe just me…

 

[Withnail]

Shame we couldn't get this deal over the line as I think he would have excelled in our side, but the fee is too high.
