I have a feeling he’s either going to join, or he isn’t.
I also think we are gonna make one more push, pep wants him badly and everyone can see this.
Hopefully he doesn’t choose Chelsea he wants pep he says his dream is to play for pep and I believe there are more minutes here than there is at Chelsea.
We offer a better project than Chelsea by a mile they aren’t gonna challenge for either league or CL and I know they beat us to it but I just don’t think they have that fear factor they had back then.
 
The transfer window is still open.

If and when they get injured we will more than likely have perfectly good backups.

Agreed, I would like Kabore to be given some game time, Grimaldo wants out and Sosa can also play CH. Kabore will become a great full back, I hope with us. Like Haarland, I'm happy to get a decent stop gap, with a view to going either AD, or TH in the next two seasons.
 
You have to back the hierarchy’s decisions, their record 99% of the time demands that. But on those rare occasions when they do seemingly fuck up and make a dog’s dinner of something, then they really do seem to go big
If we end up in September still scratching around for alternatives in a known problem position, after wasting the second close season in a row haggling with someone who won’t haggle, then it has to be admitted that is a blunder.
We could even have kept Zinchenko for another year given the likelihood of this exact scenario. He only wanted to go because we were planning a new LB.
Selling him without a replacement in the bag, and then being left with neither, is a strategic error, no matter what anyone says.

Not the impression I get. Regular starter at Brighton or second choice behind Cancelo at City only in the frame. Cucu does not come to salience in left backs but the alternatives are awful. I expect he will turn all other English suitors down, if he hasn't already.
You really think he would turn Chelsea down if they agree a fee with Brighton?
 
Been reported that Cucurella will accept the Chelsea move.
cause he will, when City were interested he wanted to move to City, now another club is interested and Brighton won't take our offer he wants to go to Chelsea, basically anything top 7 is an upgrade to Brighton

I mean, if Chelsea offering a silly amount of money for him and raising his wage among Chelsea top earner his head can be turned.

I will not blaming him if he go to Chelsea instead because he have no other choice left already burning his bridge with his club and it's fans by handing his transfer request.

If zinchenko didn't ask to move and they sold zinchenko and didn't get a LB, this is just plain stupid imo. Something else must be at play. Ffp?
