Marc Cucurella

When negotiating the seller sets their price & the buyer offers what their valuation is, Then discussions are held where a price is agreed, normally somewhere in the middle part.

On this occasion Bloom was not prepared to lower his valuation. You can't say we we were wasting time.

Some people hiho, just don`t understand the art of negotiating and thankfully they don`t hold the purse strings.

I’ll say more than a bit!

We paid £28m for Cancelo, and we received £32m for Danilo. They were two transfers in the same window for two players in the same position done between the same two clubs, but they were two seperate transfers.

We didn’t give Juve £28m plus Danilo thrown in out of the kindness of our hearts, we recieved the £32m for Danilo.

We did. But we paid them 60m. 28 net. 60m actual fee.

When we signed Mendy he was regarded as one of the best young defenders in Europe and had just won the French League and reached the CL semi-final with a star-studded Monaco team. Before then he had been successful at Marseille. We know it all ended in tears but when we signed Mendy he was rated much higher than Cucurella is now. I think City did the right thing walking away.
If the reports are true that Bloom refused to talk directly to City (essentially taking the piss) than I can't see what else we could have done. The days of clubs taking the piss out of City are over.

I agree. He’s more comparable to that signing than either Walker or Cancelo though. I never have a problem when we walk away from a deal on grounds of price. For me, £50m was too much for this player, although I do sometimes wonder about our valuation of players being on the high side, which inevitably leads to clubs trying it on when we go for their players.

What a good job we have so many experts in here explaining how transfers actually work and not being condescending or insulting at all.
Viva debate.

Moral of the story... don't do business with Brighton!

So does anyone know are we still interested in him despite the tweet yesterday from Brighton?

So Cucurella is Chelsea's Aké/Koundé alternative?

No they left ake for kounde not because of the price. That's my point. They are getting another defender. Now going for Wesley Fofana

Who cares anymore about this guy, we should move on if we can’t agree a fee. I hope todays posts aren’t anything like yesterday, lots of arguing and flapping… I won’t hold my breath:)

How much did we pay for Danilo? 25m?

25m+28m=53m. That's what Cancelo cost us.
