Marc Cucurella

[CityBluez]

This is how I see things. If Pep things Cucurella is good enough for our starting team I don't see the issue with the fee of around £50m. Just get it done.

I think issue is he is coming to City to go to barca. He will probably leave in year or two. Barca like players coached by pep. He is using us to get to barca. Paying 50 M for him is overkill. I think that's the reasoning

Time to close this Thread.

Yeah. Good to see every other club in the league have a proper fxckin left back barring our lovely city.

If he's off to Chelsea good luck to him. Pretty sure if he had a proper f**king hair style you lot wouldn't be having a hissy fit. He's not Roberto Carlos. Hopefully we'll move on to plan B or C as we do need a left back otherwise we will be left short. However, if none of that happens I still trust the grown ups at the club to come up with a solution.

Look a bit daft. Yeah I’d say. We sit there and make knowingly low offers for months and Chelsea comes in and does the deal in a half hour.

I’m sure the club will strategically stick some bit of news thru jack or pol in the next day or so for another saga to be drawn out for a few more weeks.

Total shitshow

Most of your post history is just you slagging off Manchester City.

Selling Zinchenko 1st before a replacement is the biggest problem. Brighton knew we were desperate so held us to ransom.

So, is your logic, if we still had Zinny, Bloom would have sold Cuc for £40m?

 

[simon23]

the criticism (if there is any) should ait till the transfer window has closed....If then we still dont have. left back then rightfully we can criticise the club as it should have been a priority for the last few seasons.

However you would hope tht with a month left we have a plan B and even Plan C to focus on for the left back position as it would be short sighted indeed to sell Zinchenko and not have back up options

It would make the situation even more troubled of he does.

Other issues at stake. There is no guarantee that Brighton will accept a £60 million bid.

I wonder if our resident flock of seagulls will now move to Chelsea’s Forum?

Every cloud and all that

 

[Coatigan]

Of course Txiki and Pep see things we don't. That's why they are where they are and we are sat on an internet forum.

No it's not.

Unless 'we' have had a go at running football clubs of course, which I don't think anyone here really has.

Fair play to Chelsea. Great fit for them will play as lcb and a wing back like he does at Brighton. Pleased cucurella gets his move but absolutely gutted from our perspective.

Hugely fucked this up. Bloom comes out of this well we look a bit daft imo

I don't think we look daft at all. Different clubs value players at differing amounts, Depending on their needs. We have been in this situation with several players the past few seasons. Possibly Sanchez, Maguire, Ronaldo, Hazzard, Koubuily, we have often walked away and another club paid more. Pep simply doesn't value Cucuella at more than £40m. Simply put we dont just but every player we are interested in.
