Kinda true. Struggles to negotiate for some reason
Struggles for Philips and Alvarez then.
In fairness, if you watch Cucurella highlights (you'd quickly notice how adept he is at doing these things.) Especially the early pressure, win the ball back quickly stuff. Which is more impressive particularly because It doesn't seem this is something Brighton does as a tactical choice. So Cucu just seem to do it naturally and to his teams advantage.
That said, I agree Cancelo is a very good defender. Frankly, I have more issues with his decision making on the ball than off it
I'm sure Pep likes Cucu. We can only speculate why we don't want to meet their asking price. Maybe we see it as too much for a player with no experience at a top club, in the CL and in international games. Chelsea are absolutely desperate and ready to risk 50m on Cucu. Only time will tell, it may be a mistake on our part or a wise decision.
Personally, I'm relaxed. There's enough time to find a good FB for the right price. Winning 3 titles in a row would be fantastic and I think we'll achieve it. But the CL is likely to be our main goal and we'll strenghten the team in January if it's necesary. We won't play the final 5 months of the season with just 2 FBs + Ake/Stones as senior options. Imo, we'll be fine.

Yes, but also we start the season with the pairing that played most of last season and for the vast majority of games and were very good, no reason why they won't be this month.Some favourable fixtures in there as well luckily.

So you think we should have paid £150M for Kane ?? Fucking hell thank fuck you`re not in charge of our transfers.We got a far better player than Koulibaly so thats a load of bollocks that we fucked it up.Omar Berrada and Txiki together tbh
There’s definitely an issue with them thinking we can get players cheaper than the club are willing to sell for Koulibaly, Kane and Cucurella 3 summers on the bounce.
We can all see what’s coming.
3 PLs in a row + the CL!
I really don't get why txiki is getting blamed for this?? Is Chelsea paying lower amount to get cucurella? NO. We dont want to pay 50M. How is txiki at fault here? Chelsea are paying inflated fee to get players. No one is talking how 100m for Lukaku was a fail. We constantly moan about grealish
Do you guys agree with this sentiment?
Depends, if by struggle he means won’t pay more than his budget, then yeah he does.
He doesn’t though

What an absolute bollocks from him, then why the fuck we got Alvarez and Philips for lower price than selling club asked for?
