Marc Cucurella

No way would we have let Zin go if Cuckoo wasn’t coming.

I'm not sure that's true as apparently there's still a lot of work to do on Cucurella.

What it does mean though is we're signing a full-back before the window closes as there's no way we're going in to the season with just Walker and Cancelo. That could mean opting for a cheaper alternative if we don't meet Brighton's valuation but we'll definitely sign someone.

Should be in the US with the squad by now

3 of our 4 targets are there. Hopefully the other will be playing v Liverpool in our last friendly

Pretty damn good effort by the club if we make that happen I’d say

So you changed it from 4 season of losses to debt. I agree we owe Tony Bloom £270m but that has built up over 13 years not the first 4 season in prem.

You need a leftback, Bloom knows this

City will pay what they think he’s worth and not a penny more. Plenty of evidence of that when we have walked away and over better players too. Personally, I think he’s ok but needs a lot of work to become a top defender. Big difference playing to survive in the league to competing for all the prizes. He has not proven he’s at that level. That will affect his value.

My prediction is he will come in for 42+5

£50 Million and we'll start the negiotation upwards, you lot now need a left back I believe

Here we go.

Mate - with respect - unless you’re Tony Bloom, it doesn’t matter what you think he’s worth, and nor does it matter what a bunch of City fans on a forum think he’s worth either.

It’s a pathetic, predictable phenomenon every summer when we’re negotiating for a player that fans of their current teams get all giddy and confused, and pop up on here making apparently hardline, inflexible valuation statements as if they’re somehow involved in the negotiations - and Txiki is sitting on Bluemoon killing time waiting for their insight.

You’re always going to over-value the player, and we’re going to undervalue him. Because we see it solely from the position of our own clubs interests - and don’t really give a shit about the other side.

But none of it matters in the end.

Brighton will have their valuation, and City will also have their own valuation. If the two Clubs can negotiate a meeting point somewhere in the middle they can both be relatively happy with - it’ll happen. And if they can’t - it won’t.

All the rest is nothing more than hyperbolic hot air!

Brighton finished 9th last season hardly relegation level and a club on the up. It isn’t right that you speak of their club like that and is disrespectful. None of us know how much the club are prepared to pay.

I’d say that’s optimistic

We do know we won’t pay over the odds

A-fucking-men!

It's funny what being bored in the summer will drive people to write on a forum, isn't it? Words are cheap, I suppose. In fact, wrong: words are free.
