Marc Cucurella

Naylor doesn't say the club are talking. He says "pay up or shut up" that's Brighton's stance.

Agree with the second part

I doubt Brighton are dealing with it like that, I'd imagine there's dialect

if we where moving on the usual suspects would have been briefed.

Why? How would that help our transfer business? Maybe it is better for us if other clubs/agents think we are still negotiating with Brighton and are weighing up our options. Why should they know we've moved on?

This guy is the only left back City are interested in.

Hes the only one that can imrpove the team.


Grimaldo Sosa links are City bluffing!

You forget to prefix that guess with an ‘IMO’.

When we bought him everyone agreed he was great going forward but iffy defensively and so it proved. His injury probably didn't help and now we have the trial he faces.

Transfer fees have shot up since and we must have watched this lad plenty of times. We have the money and desperately need a left back, have done for a while, more now Zinchenko has gone. If we take the fee from his sale then this lad is costing us 20 million. If by haggling we get him for less great. If not we should pay the fee asked. What's the alternative? Spend less on a player not as good?

We'll see how it pans out.

I partially agree with you.

However desperation should not give in. You have to be clear that Cancelo is still our 1st choice left back and Walker is still our 1st choice right back and both the players have impeccable fitness levels.

Cucurella isn't the only decent left back in the world. A cheaper alternative doesn't necessarily translate to a worse player. A top coaching staff improves every player and I expect the same to be the case with whomever we buy.

I'm not too familiar with the Brighton accent.

It does have off street parking !

No, that's an add-on fee

On this forum that should be everyones stock signature.

Well they gave Dr. Who a hard time but they still couldn't climb stairs.

Think Chavvy London with a hint of Norfolk
