Marc Cucurella

Now that would be gutting

He did, as long as City met his valuation, which City obviously didn't.

I'm sure another club will try and sign Cucurella in the future. It will be interesting to see how that plays out and what the transfer fee is.

Good luck to them dealing with Barca next summer. If they think we have unsettled their player and tried to lowball them, then they really haven’t seen anything yet

City fucked up letting Zinchenko go 1st absalute Steel for Arsenal

Yes I understand it wasn't without tears but to let him go then try to sign a fullback its fucking really poor from Tixi
This isn't getting done now imo, Cancelo & Ake it is with young Josh as back up

Hope I'm wrong

This
Our defence seems to be extremely injury prone and we were sending out a patched up defence towards the end of the season and we are now 1 lighter in selling Zinchenko and as we saw in the Charity Shield, Cancello cannot defend and left back has been a weakness other teams target for some time now

If it's true they'll sell him to chelsea for 40mil max

 

[joshr]

nah you’ve been trying to negotiate with us for a solid month and you really think we will sell to Chelsea with a cheaper price ? Sounds like he only wants you guys tho

He wants us.

Still get the feeling Chelsea go in for him just to wave their dick about a bit. They don't need him but it wouldn't shock me at all.

Almost right on cue.

Ake was £41m because he's association trained and can play LB, Laporte's international status was well known (and he's had to switch allegiance to play) and Mendy was brilliant in that Monaco team. None of those impacts on Cucurella's fee.

Is doubling your money not a premium nowadays? The rest of your middle paragraph makes no sense.

"Bottom line is the negotiation of this transfer has been a shambles and a PR exercise." is just bollocks.

Doubling what they payed for Cucurella is £30 Million and in this current market that's not a premium for a Top full-back.

And Yes! Negotiations for Cucurella have been shambles, City have known Brightons asking price since may, either pay it or move on.

This could work in our favour for optics sake. Stump up the cash and it doesn’t look like we’ve been bullied into it by Brighton anymore
