Marc Cucurella

I think that would send out a wrong message. I also think that we want to keep a good kitty available for a certain talented young lad playing in Germany at the moment.

I would rather finally nail down what has been a problem position for almost a decade tbh rather than scrimp to fund a gamble next summer

I'm ot trying to start a grealish debate, who I do think will come good eventually, but it is odd that we seemed so nonchalant about dropping 100 million quid on him but we are bewildered by a 50m price tag on Brighton's player of the season and refusing to meet them.

Think we can all accept grealish was never worth the 100 mil clause, but I'm ok with the club paying over the odds to get the right player in no fuss. I feel like we have more of a need for cucurella this season than we needed grealish last. Its the rod the club made for its own back paying the grealish clause. Just pay the 50.

Think we’ve just got this one wrong tbh, thought there was room for negotiation but there wasn’t.

Approach feels similar to Kane tbh, not listening to what the other side is saying offering well below what they want but also not moving on to another target. Been a good summer overall but another L for the board I think, there’s usually 1 a season

Depends on what we think he should be worth. if we think hes 30 were already offering 10 over that why go to 20. I get the sentiment but we dont know what our starting point was. We offered to double their money, and they want triple etc.

 

[Gumzy97]

surely we worry about that year and have already brought in over £230m in sales this year with an outlay of about £107m??

Bellingham would cost a chunk of that. Dippers were quoted 130 million euros. No release clause either so 130 seems the price right now

Chelsea’s sudden interest sounds like bollocks.

Every transfer window clubs sign players we were initially after. Like it's 50% of their scouting system(Jorginho et al). "Ohh City want him, then he must be good and will definitely fit our entirely different system".

Isn’t he injured more than RSC?

He usually missed afew games a season no more then average before he done his cruciate ligament last year. Hes top end better then Cucurella in my honest opinion.

 

[MarsLlama]

Remember the Emperor's New Clothes? This is exactly like that for me. Feels like everyone's saying he's amazing and worth at least £50m kinda just to agree with people.

 

[Andouble]

We’ll end up paying the 50m about five days before the window closes.

Chelsea will offer Colwill as part of a deal I would imagine as Brighton have been interested for a while.
