Marc Cucurella

Have we upped our offer to £30 000 000.01 yet?

This could take a while.

The fact both clubs haven't released a statement either way, and no journalists are reporting negotiations HAVE broken down, is a good thing. The longer it goes on, the more likely the tranfser will happen as the valuations and add-ons get closer until a deal is struck.

Not like you to post sense mate, you feeling ok? ;-)

How many trained by pep?

Two and two trained by Luis Enrique.

Not at all and to be honest I think your take has been pretty sensible.

If City, the Premiership champions, think a player can improve their left back position 30 million is not realistically a figure going to get a player with years left on his contract, a club without financial concerns and at a place where the manager wants him to stay.

It would be ridiculous for Brighton to sell at that price and Cucurella knows that also. I think it will be agreed at 45 million plus add ons.

I would have taken the 30 and maybe the 2 young defenders i mentioned earlier with a buy back fee

Might as well go up to £31 million read teletext for a bit and look out the window in a few days time and see it’s raining or not. Perhaps they’ll have accepted our offer by then. Gives the lad enough time for a ‘short back and sides’ cut at local barbers too.

And you know that because ... ?

Wants to play with Berni ? ;-)

Was he any good today? No issues with fans from other clubs on the forum happy to have their opinions and insights I disagree with 95% of them but I digress

 

[foggy1974]

Doesn't mean much at all, just means he isn't joining this weekend.

Like Zinchenko travelling with City squad

 

[richards30]

If it goes tits up with Brighton and marc-cucurella, then city have only themselves to blame in letting zinchenko leave before a replacement, i will say if city go looking for somebody else then we will get the same response by the selling club in adding £10 million to the asking price,

we should just pay the asking price Brighton want and get it done and start the new season with a proper left back

I agree to a point mate, it seems that Brighton want £50m total so would they accept £40m plus £10m add ons? I think we desperately need him to complete the squad for the season and with the amount of cash we’ve brought in I really can’t see the problem of getting the fee done if it’s no more than £50m including add ons

Totally trust Txiki in this matter.
Nothing wrong with starting with a low offer to test the waters.
The player now knows he’s wanted by us and with Oleks now out of the way he knows he will get significant game time (selling Oleks first was astute in this regard)
Cucurella will 100% want the move and his agent will no doubt be stirring it big time with the Brighton chairman.
Brighton will have to agree to sell as they will not want to keep an unhappy player
I would expect the deal will get done at 40-45 m which in today’s market sounds more than fair for Brighton.
I do hope he gets a haircut mind you…
