Cucurella is an upgrade in that left back position. Why? Because he is good offensively and defensively. Brightons player of the season. Because he consistently made that left side his own and has been brilliant against all types of wingers. He was also incredibly dangerous against us he did cause us problems with his overlapping and attacking play. But nullified most of the attacks down his side.

He has consistently been good against the top 6 teams for Brighton last season even scoring against the rags and assisting a equaliser against Chelsea.

Zinchenko and Cancelo are very good offensively but average defensively. They have lapses of mis judgement. When that can lead to an attack down their side. The left side has been consistently targeted

Cucurella is different he knows how to cut passing lanes. Has pace to negate pacy wingers etc doesn't mis judge a Tackle. He's consistently stat wise a 7 out of 10 top 3 left back in the league.

We get him that left hand side is locked down. Walker and Cucurella as fullbacks would be the best pairing in the league.

Also Cucurella has not just been good in the prem he was consistently good at Getafe and Eibar. Putting in brilliant performances against Real Madrid, Barca and Atletico. At Getafe he was in the top 5 left backs in La liga.

Spot on
 
Hopefully, we will close our transfer window quite early. We have to get used to that Sterling and Gundogan both will leave for free in 2023, hopefully, Riyad will extend, we need an experienced winger, the same with Foden and Rodri, but IMO we have to sign Cucurella and DM as soon as possible because we have to go into the next season in the best shape as possible. The beginnings of our last two seasons were dreadful, to be honest.

The league starts early this year because of the World Cup debacle. I think a lot of clubs will be caught out.

Was nice to hear khaldoon say he would love to have our dealings done by the 1st July? Obviously the caveat is the other clubs we are dealing with but if our transfers in were sorted for the start of pre season then that defo helps pep going forward and the incoming players settle within the group and Peps system.

Hopefully the Cucurella thing can be done soon as he’s got no international football rn. But I do think if the deal is going ahead they’ll probably allow Brighton to sign their replacement before announcing anything. Good faith thing.

Stop saying that. It is not some kind of revelation. Even the tea ladies at City know that it is advantageous to sign players before pre-season training starts and we have already signed two and the window isn't open yet.

Signing players is complicated. These are contracts worth tens or hundreds of million pounds and often with chains attached. Sometimes you have no choice but to play the long game and wait.

Yes it helps - but the mess is driven by international football. Most of our top players are with national teams now. Its going to be very limited time out before a very short pre season.

At least we atre a very well run club. Im sure we will make the best of a crazy summer.
