Marc Cucurella

[blueparrot]

Cucurella played the majority of the season playing on the left of a back three with Brighton.
He will be a good fit for Chelsea of they manage to sign him.

Koulibaly....Silva....Cucurella

With James and Chilwell playing as wing backs.

I'm not conviced about those as a 3. Either way though if they are still playing wing backs does that mean they have bought Sterling to play centrally ?

He can play one of the three centre backs Tuchel will play

He can, but he's bang average as an inside back. Why would anyone pay 52.5 mil for a LB/LWB to play as an LCB? I suppose that will be Chelsea's problem.

Think more to do they need defenders and Cucurlla is a very good player who now knows the premier league

It seems Cucurella to Chelsea is all but done bar the dotting of the i's & crossing of the t's.

I'd have loved Cucu to tell Brighton he's glad for them someone met their valuation, but he only wants City, but there's been nothing from the player or his camp to that effect so far.

Cucurella's probably surmised that he'd prefer City, but Chelsea wouldn't be a bad second choice either so he'd be OK with either club.

Personally I've moved on from the notion of Cucurella to City & am now focused on if we'll get a left back in time within this transfer window, & if so who?

Sosa's the name most seem to prefer as an alternative, so it'll be interesting to see if we act on that speculation or go through the season with 2 right backs & Aké & Wilson-Ebrand as other LB options as well as Cancelo. )(

Its like desperately wanting to marry your very beautiful long term girlfriend who you just know would be a perfect fit but it eventually not working out and you having to settle for some munter from Urmston, he could become very bitter and disillusioned.

I rate Chilwell actually, as a good all-round left-back, and was thinking more of him in terms of Chelsea's system than ours.

Apparently Alonso might be leaving though - if so then that will open up some minutes for Cucurella as he'd really only be competing with Chilwell rather than both of them.

I wonder if Chilwell Hasn't really got over his injury, hence the move for Cucurella, doesn't really make a lot of sense otherwise.

 

[Centurions]

City should have pointed to the £1.4m we paid for Oleks and reduced our offer.

If Chilwell recovers sufficiently from his injury, every chance Cucurella will be the starting LB

Lol... :-)

However I think Cucurella's comparisons will be more like City/Brighton or Chelsea/Brighton. If it were a straight choice between City & the chavs, I reckon the Catalan/La Maisa connection would make the difference.

It's Brighton causing the constipation here leaving the player with the real choice of staying put or Chelsea. Putting it like that, there's not much competition...

Urmston munters are miles better than Stretford munters though. Unless they live near the sewage works as the constant smell makes their faces look like they’ve smelt a shit bomb.

Better fullbacks and more strength in depth. Urmston Munters will walk that league this season
