Marc Cucurella

They make a good point. Why didn't WE sign him from Barcelona if we thought he was that good. ( Oops forgot we had Mendy).

Probably for the same reason Brighton didn't, seeing as they signed him from Getafe

Focus on another target. It would last till the end of August.

Okay so we're in the denial stage.
I'll give it a month and he'll be ours

I think this one will drag on.

Brighton fans are right. He has a long contract and a chairman who will stick to a price.
Up to City to meet it. It won’t be cheap and it probably will be 50m.

With City having Cancelo and Zinchenko at LB it’s not a signing that’s as important as replacing Fernandinho, hence the Phillips deal done quicker.

I see this maybe even going to deadline day.

Cucurella is going to have to force this if he wants it. If he does it will likely happen and maybe Zinchenko leaving late in the window as well if it does.

Wonder if City are letting Brighton get a replacement in before its announced, believe we did similar with Jack & Villa.

If Brighton don't have a replacement lined up & he goes late in the window, their fans aren't going to be happy. They've already sold White & Burn

Dont bother theirs better out there, just taking the piss now

I agree, should stick a £20M bid in for Tyrick Mitchell from Palace and see how Brighton's resolve holds then.

Look at th source
Stone, the rag muppet who works for bbc, he's about as reliable as Delaney quoting 60m for Phillips

No they’re not. He is their player and we can’t just point at him and say (Little Britain style) “I want that one!”

They are a well run club in the PL. They aren’t short of money and if City don’t meet the valuation they are betting that another club in the future will.

We can’t get annoyed at Barca‘s behaviour and then think its fine for us to do the same.

We haven’t even made an offer yet but I believe them when they say they would rather keep their best player.

nah, i think stone is always delighted if he gets chance to knock his down or relay bad news.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

I'm not arsed either way with this transfer.

Negotiations are not done on social media, and despite what anyone claims to know none of it matters to me until I see a photograph of the player sitting next to a beaming Txiki with a pen in his hand putting ink on the contract.
