Marc Cucurella

[Mancity0303]

If Brighton's asking price is too much for us then I wonder if we'll move on to someone like David Raum or if we'll follow our recent strategy of not signing any player for that position until next year.

Like the last 100 years? :(

In all fairness, I was totally surprised when the first rumour pooped in,how have City able to do this deal so easily Player of the season, bought for expensive price, 4 years left on the deal, Selling club English( the price is 50 60 million irrespective of which player it is).
I was even more surprised at the quoted 35 mil selling price. Brighton is a smart enough club to charge every last penny and make it difficult for us.

The recent rumours feel more realistic. City wants the player, player wants the club, selling club will make it difficult- because its city and we have "unlimited wealth" and also because Brighton is a well run club.

I don't really see us being active in the market for a left back if Cucurella doesn't come. Think we will go as it is and Phillips could be our last major incoming. Maybe only Sterling leaves after.

i wonder how true the rumours are regarding mcatee and delap going on loan there? Maybe brighton want a loan with an option to buy and we just want a straight loan for a season?

Brighton can’t be too precious when they did exactly the same to Getafe. I’m sure they would also have preferred not to sell him

i really dont see it being Cucurella or no one to be honest mate? We either want a LB or we don`t and has been mentioned players like Raum are no doubt obtainable for £35-40m if we want the job done? No doubt Pep wants Cucurella so the club will be trying to do that deal for a while yet if there seems a chance but thats also comes with the downfall of if your other potential targets get snapped up while you haggle? My take is we most definately need a top class proper LB.

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

Well being the rag reporter doesn't give the pathetic **** much chance of relaying good news does it ?

I think they just want what they think he's worth and it's hard to argue when you see some of the fees we've been paying for others.

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

I think we would love a rival player being taken off them instead of our best player going

LOL! very true mate. When you hear his squeaky voice start at press conferences, you can just see pep`s eyes roll and expression change as he knows a dip shit question is coming!
