Marc Cucurella

[Kamaro011]

Didn't one of our ITKs (Matty? Sorry if it was someone else) say we'd made a £ + player bid for Cucurella and it had been rejected? If so, either our ITK isn't so ITK or Bloom is lying. Would love some clarification.

No need for clarification, we have to wait and see for the next few days.

@mattyb knows his shit and I think that's been pretty obvious for a while.

Depends when this interview was done, I guess? Maybe it was recorded just before the bid went in or maybe he is lying. Who knows.

I'm still a bit dubious this one will happen. The striker and holding midfield position, City definitely needed replacements and got them, as we had holes in the squad that needed filling.

The left back position I think is the icing on the cake for us but not a necessity. If we went into the season with Walker, Cancelo and Zinchenko, I think City would be OK with it. This is why I'm unsure if we'll spend £50m (possibly more if Brighton dig their heels in) on another left back after what has happened with Mendy. City have proven in the past they will walk away if the valuation is too high.

I hope we get him obviously as I think we do need someone, a more natural left footed player, but I'm just not sure whether we'll go big on it. Time will tell.

Agree about walking away, but I'd like to think we have plan b,c &d to fall back on before deciding to just do without an established lb (again).

You'll never get clarification mate, things change, if an ITK passes something on you don't have to believe them. Things do get lost in translation when passed form person to person.
It could easily have been City were preparing a bib of cash + player, I prefer just to enjoy the additional info true or not it's fun.
I think it's Mattyb and TolmiesHairdoo who are probably the most reliable on here they quite often get things right, but it is just conjecture and speculation.

City will know the price. The fact that we haven’t moved on makes me think we are prepared to pay it. Now watch us sign the Wolves lad tomorrow!

Isn’t the way normally chars behind the scenes sorting the deal out and then the bid as you say is made knowing it will be accepted? I sense it will be another £50m fullback though

Being reported Chelsea are sniffing round him now....Hope the Pep connection is the deal clincher if this is the case.

93.20blue is also very reliable but doesn't post as much.
