That all seems like a reasonable assumption. As fans what we never know are those imponderables, like how much is he worth to you and to us?? If common ground/sense can be met then it may get done ,if either club feels it’s not right then it won’t.I'm afraid I'm another Brighton fan. Marc Cucarella has made it known that if the opportunity arises he can't turn you guys down. What he hasn't made public is if the opportunity doesn't arise would he still be happy to stay at Brighton.
At the moment it seems like he will be happy to stay if he doesn't get the opportunity, but as of yet you guys haven't bid so his happiness hasn't really been tested.
I understand that you guys have a valuation that might seem fair when it comes down to market value, but as we don't want to or need to sell (part of needing to sell is about player happiness) you have to go above it.
I think if you want him you will get him, but I also think that if you don't pay a lot of money then he will stay with us for another season.

As has been said before on this thread, City will only pay what they think he is worth and walk away (as they have done on numerous occasions) and look elsewhere.100%.
I have seen on twitter not long ago that somebody bumped into Tony Bloom today. He says he expect you lot to come in for Marc but it will take some serious money on the table for any deal. To me that says that there has been no contact between the clubs (so anyone who says talks between both clubs are going well are wrong) but we are open for talks but if think Man City think they will get a bargain I think all in for a shock.
We tend not to get bargains… and always think there is a “city tax”. But what other potential deals have shown is city will have a valuation of a given player .. once that is reached and it’s not accepted City will walk . Then brief we are no longer interested .100%.

That is what we want you to do, and up to this point there is nothing that says that Cucuraella wouldn't be the ultimate professional and do his best for us this season.As has been said before on this thread, City will only pay what they think he is worth and walk away (as they have done on numerous occasions) and look elsewhere.

This isn't City tax. Its we don't want to sell tax. Whoever comes in for him will be met with this valuation.We tend not to get bargains… and always think there is a “city tax”. But what other potential deals have shown is city will have a valuation of a given player .. once that is reached and it’s not accepted City will walk . Then brief we are no longer interested .
He’s not far off though. Even if someone has asked Bloom what the score is, he’s not going to say he’ll sell as soon as we make an offer.1. “somebody on twitter”
2. Claiming to have just “bumped into” your owner (as you do)
3. Your owner happily providing transfer strategy information to this person he has just “bumped into”
You’re genuinely basing your opinion on this then genuinely coming onto another club’s forum to tell their fans your opinion?
You need to have a very, very long look at yourself.
Yes. I didn't say he gave away a fee you were expected to pay or anything just that he is expecting you to get in contact. Why not just bump into him. I can tell you where he works if you want. He even goes to away games on the train with the fans every now and then. He even shops (and pays) in the club shop. He is a down to earth approachable person.1. “somebody on twitter”
