Regardless of your view on Zin, we sold him for £30m with an established pedigree of winning titles in an elite team, under a manager widely considered to be one of the greats.

Cucurella has little such pedigree, standing out in a mid-table side for 12 months.

Brighton are entitled to ask what they want for him and City do clearly see him as a talent, but I don't think we are taking the piss bidding in the thirties.

It's a bizarre stance City have taken waiting to bid for the player, selling Zin first and telegraphing our needs.

Both teams are already deep in to their preparations for the new season.

All that won't help us on the final price.

Feels like we new early on that this one will be hard work and as such we put it off till we knew what selling business was done

But what did we expect? As this Brighton journo says below it was always going to take that to get him so why waste everyone’s time with such a low opening offer. Bloom will not be bullied into accepting a lower offer.

Yep! we could pay £50m for Cucurella now and still end up our transfer window in profit?? nuts we have low balled them at this time and no chance they were going to accept anything that low.

From the sounds of these quotes there isn't a backup to cucurella. It's a bit like Kane. It's cucurella or bust! More likely bust considering they aren't dropping that price from 50m in our wildest dreams.

Going into the season with two fullbacks is some scary shit.

That just sounds plain stupid considering we sold zinchenko. Aguero i understand because he wasn't able to play and was constantly injured. But there was absolutely no need to sell zinchenko if we have no intentions to sign a LB.
Have to wait and see

We were quoted 60 million for Phillips at first ,the deal got done at 42 .
Have you never heard of bartering.
This will get done around the price of Phillips

really can't believe anyone at the club is entertaining starting the season with 2 right backs and zero left backs

These posts are getting boring.
Transfer window doesn't close tonight you know.

After the past decade never mind the summer so far it's mental we still have people questioning what the club and Txiki are doing.

I don't give a shit what Brighton think they want. They had Arsenals pants down for Ben White so that means they can do the same here. I don't think so.

If we have a price for Cucurella and they don't want to sell then we move on.

I'm not sure where you heard 60m from. According to Pol/Sam on the podcast Leeds were quite happy with 45m and the first bid was accepted. Just cuz a journalist says 60m doesn't mean its the case. Here you literally have a bid rejected and told its way off the mark- its a bit different
