Has he downed tools then ?

I don’t know why people are inferring that he has. But it is still very likely imo that he was in Barcelona at some point this week as a few people have said they’ve seen him.

I suspect potter gave them some time off so it’s hardly strange he has gone back to his home for a few days. I very much doubt it has anything to do with us or dr cugat.

More interested in the poster who said their friend saw him and cucurella himself apparently said the deal was pretty much done. Hopefully that snippet is true

Yeah get you, some fans think it’s because of our defence and like me I think it’s more to do with putting all those chances away we create!

I can’t change your view like you can’t change mine on this thinking…

Trust me...it kills me when we get in that sort of squandering mode...but sometimes it just won't go into the net and that's when we can't let ourselves get beat by a moment of sub par play against these European clubs...its been unbelievable how we can absolutely dominate the entire time and then concede, sometimes 2 or even 3 in short succession and virtually blow up our whole CL campaign...I'm not ashamed to admit I cried tears of rage and heartbreak after the Real debacle and what felt like thievery against Tottenham...I would love nothing better than for us to bomb everyone off the pitch this year and render this entire debate moot...

I back City to win the League and a domestic cup with Cancelo and JWE as Lbs, that's down to Peps brilliance. If they don't sign Cucurella I'm more than content. But no natural lb at the club for five seasons is not great from our directors.

no , but 4 titles in those 5 years are ,or aren't they responsible for that ?

Should have put it to bed in the first leg, I got extremely pissed in the Waldorf after the second.

Hes been in training all week that much i do know, and really if some random guy asjed him about the transfer would he really say that. The last part of my reply is only my oppinion.

This is definitely a transfer 'Saga' now and expect a sad ending.

City want to be seen as 'getting value for money' but last summer they paid a £100 Million release clause for Grealish. A player with only two years of premier league experience at the time. It's understandable some fans are confused by our approach to this transfer.

If Pep has identified Cucurella as his 1st choice LB the directors should stop bluffing and pay the fee, five seasons without a natural LB is incompetent enough.

Pep has done a great job coaching Delph, Zinchenko and Cancelo, they're all midfielders! Zinchenko will be exposed as a LB at Arsenal.

The team is incomplete without a natural Left back, why haggle over £10 Million for PR purposes.

Thanks...Trust me, I'm not looking to stir the pot...just taking an honest look at some possibilities...must have struck a nerve with some? But I'll stick to my main point that we need to sign a quality left back if we're going to realistically win both the Prem and the CL...didn't think there'd be anything controversial about that...

Not as far as I’m aware mate.

There was some liberal winding up going on here this afternoon suggesting he was in Barcelona at the moment, had told some random kid in the street he was signing for City, and was visiting our Club doctor who’s based there.

All of which was clearly bullshit, but has led some to believe he’s acting unprofessionally.

That’s cup games you don’t have to be the best team in Europe to win it! Spurs will have a great chance with there team and a manager…

Yeah….usual made up nonsense. Wouldn’t be surprised if he was in Barca for a day or two (most of the first team seemed to have the weekend off) but he was back at the club yesterday for sure. There’s literally no new news on this transfer from any reputable source IMO (actually a good reflection on both clubs and how they conduct business).

Fellow Seagulls, we are in another clubs forum, have some decorum. For what it's worth media day was yesterday, it could of happened this afternoon as well but It defo happened yesterday! Between the three of us let's have a vote on whether MC stays or go's by deadline day...I'll start...GONE! Hope your happy City fans...

Effectively in a CL match against teams with quality up top?...you might want to re-think that...its basically the main reason we keep coming up a bit short...and before anyone starts blabbering about "you think you know better than Pep, etc. etc." I'm going to say with 100% conviction in order to win the CL we need TWO FBs who can hold it down against top quality playmakers...Walker and someone legit on the left...the knockout stages of the CL are not the Prem...the teams we face are not anywhere near us in terms of overall quality, but most possess big time quality up top like Benzema and Vinicius, Jr., Kane and Son, a young Mbappe and Falcao and also playmakers like Modric, Erickson, and Bernardo...these kind of teams don't need to out play you...they can hurt you in the blink of an eye...it's extremely difficult to navigate this type of format all the way thru to the end when playing with all out attacking fullbacks, like Cancelo, or makeshift ones like Zinchenko...our plan works great in the Prem against basically everyone but Liverpool and Tottenham who have one thing in common, legit talent up top...look at the amount of goals we surrendered in aggregate against Real, Liverpool, Monaco, and Tottenham in recent CLs under Pep...Even Lyon scored 3 in a one off...this NEVER happens over two games in the Prem where Cancelo can run around freely without worrying about what's happening in behind him for example...FBs becoming extra mid fielders, playing in inverted roles and what not, I get it... but those halting results in the CL are not a coincidence...coincidences don't just keep happening every year...we don't need to make ourselves vulnerable in the back, specifically in the wide spaces, in order to beat any of those teams...we can either blow their doors off or win in a blink first game with 5 or 6 in attack with all the quality we have...I know many on here don't hold the CL in high regard but the reality of the matter is you have to win in Europe to attain that sort of historic team level...I want us to win it, the sooner the better...and having legit cover against the Reals, Bayerns, Barcas across the entirety of the back four is a good place to start...one man's opinion...

Very good post mate. Whilst I do think we’ve also had our fair share of bad luck in the champions league, your point about quality right across the back is valid. Would be interesting to see how many goals we conceded down the left on the knockouts.

Sorry i stand corrected yes it was yesterday, and he was in Barcelona today, for his sons birthday with rest of his family. Yes i think both clubs will come to an agreement. I would take £40m plus one of the 2 LB youngsters,with City having a buy back option. I think the one player that stands out is i think Esbrand.

Bad luck no doubt played a part...

Other than a grammatical critique, do you have an opinion on the content? I would think if you're going to comment you would at least share your thoughts on the content as well, lol...

I'm more interested in your dotting patterns. Just when I think I've cracked your code, you go and throw in a surprise three dots instead of two.
