Marc Cucurella

[Gaz (FMwkdsoul)]

Whether we end up coughing up the money for him, knock Brighton down or sign an alternative, there’s absolutely no way we should have let Zinchenko go before we had the signing wrapped up. Makes no sense whatsoever.

The backup list is prob easily done and dusted pretty quick once they move on you would hope.

Over priced for post covid market. 40 m is the max but still over hyped for a over rated player.

Maybe, yeah, but even here our position would be strengthened if we still had Zinchenko.

I can’t really think of any circumstance where letting Zinchenko go first would benefit us. If Arsenal didn’t want to wait, then fuck em, and we shouldn’t be helping our competitors’ pre-seasons anyway.

I’m perfectly happy for us to move on from Cucurella now, if we’ve decided we can’t get him for a price we think is reasonable.

No problem at all with that.

But to go into the season as we are with just two senior fullbacks would be extremely negligent of the Club, and would definitely warrant criticism.

I’d be going all in for Gaya at Valencia if it was up to me. He’s into the last year on his contract now, so you’d think there’s a deal to be done there.

If he’d be open to the move, he’d fit our style like a glove!

Helps him as well. needs to settle, move with a kid etc. He's at least earned that.

They wanted 42 for him last Jan. Not a bad shout, thought he injury record was terrible but seems fine after looking at it.

Hahahaha. Did you support Chelsea or something 15 years ago when they were buying a shiny new toy every week of the transfer window ?

The fact you think you know more than Txiki and co about how to negotiate a transfer is an embarrassment.

How do you know we are now ‘having to find a new full back’ !? Do tell me ??

Maybe Pep (as he has stated more than once) is happy to go with what we have. Don’t tell me you think you know more than Pep too ?

Moron.

If you believe managers don’t tell porkies especially when trying to sign players then the only moron around here is you.

Why would Brighton take less money than they want if we still had Zinchenko ?

Is it time to fire up the Ait Nouri Express???


I know it'd be hard for the song makers, but other than that... He'll be a nice consolation :)

I’m not inferring that they would.

I’m simply stating that if the deal didn’t happen, we’d still have Zinchenko and therefore wouldn’t be going into the season with no cover at all. From a squad perspective, we’d be much better off.
