Marc Cucurella

So what was the cause of his low amount of assists last season, despite creating so many chances statistically? Did he create low quality chances that technically count as chances, or are brighton that profligate?

Have you seen the state of Brighton’s finishing? Think the season before last they would have been fifth if they matched their expected goals

I know but this season haven't they actually outperformed their xG? which is why they finished quite high up the league.

These every touch videos are a better gauge. Looks really good against decent opposition.

Every time I watch clips of him what really stands out is his pressing. I love how fast and aggressively he presses to win the ball back. He's tailor made for a Pep team.

Not sure tbh, seem to remember they had quite a long goalless run mid season before ending with a flurry of decent results
Sending Delap on loan as part of the deal wouldn’t be the worst idea though they have also just splashed out on a teenage striker from Peru, who would presumably be above a loan player in their pecking order
They also have long standing interest in McAtee

Looks to have two good feet too. Not afraid to use his right occasionally.

Perhaps I might have missed it, but haven’t seen any other PL club heavily linked with him, which is a good indication that other clubs aren’t wasting their time trying to buy the Cuc under our noses.

Like many on here I think it will get done when the 2 clubs come to an agreement on the transfer fee. There won’t be a problem with Cuc and his wage demands. This is all but done, bar the transfer fee Haggling.

Cuc bombing down the left. Walker bombing down the right.

Chelsea linked/wanted him, Cucurella only wants City according to the article.

So; he'll be unable to clear the near post with corners from both flanks then. He'll be perfect!

I saw the links, but why would Chelsea want another left back just 2 years after spending a fortune on Ben Chilwell? Unless they don't expect him to recover from his injuries.

Alonso is leaving.
