Marc Cucurella

[Danamy]

True but even if he is brilliant kids go through big form dips and need to introduced gradually. I think he is a good back up already but still a back up.

Yeah I totally agree, I just think it'll be a good test on how far he's come and if he's got the minerals to go all the way. Pep certainly wouldn't play him or put him in that situation if he thought not that's for sure

I have a gut feeling that City's board could wait till January to sign Cucurella, because Brighton would lower the price and because of the big World Cup gap. I know it's unlikely, but maybe it's a possibility to sign Cucurella. I'm afraid it's Cucurella or nobody from Pep...

Why would the price be lower in January?

I’d have a think about that post and have another crack :-)

Because of the player who is clearly unhappy, more City's pressure on Brighton making this deal, use more propaganda etc. It's hypothetical and I know this is not in the style of City (a little bit toxic too), but I guess that for us Cucurella would be an important player and Pep really, really wants him. That's only prediction, but I have a gut feeling we want him badly, but on our conditions. So no 50M£, but 40M£ in January for example.

It'll be Walker-Cancelo. 100%.

I certainly wouldn't put money on that

Even Romano has said that City wouldn't pay 50M£ for him and Brighton don't want to lower the price. It's a deadlock right now.

I can’t see it being less then as Brighton would need a replacement and it’s harder and more expensive to buy in January.

You could ne right though.

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

Can’t argue with a bit of dialectical materialism.

This is only my stupid prediction, I don't know what would happen. Of course it's unlikely, but as I said before our board want him badly, but on our conditions.

Why would we let Zin go if we weren't confident of getting a new left back. Wouldn't make any sense other wise
