Marc Cucurella

[DeBlueLou]

The fact it’s gone quiet is usually a pretty good sign negotiations are progressing as expected at City.

We aren’t a vocal Club in briefing journalists on where our deals are up to - and tend to expect agents to behave the same way.

When agents start gobbing off to their media mouthpieces is when we often stop trusting them, and you will frequently see us pulling out of potential deals when we see this happening too much.

In fact, we tend to use the media to brief against a story when we feel our name is being used by an agent or club as part of their negotiations.

The fact the latter hasn’t happened - and the fact this story has gone so quiet - would suggest the deal is ticking along more or less as expected from our end.

Quiet is always good in regards to City. I wonder if City can wrap this up fairly quick as Marc isn't with the national team. Also may depend on how fast their replacement plan is going, like Steven suggested.

£25m-£30m Cheap.

I actually doubt itll be THAT low, more like 40ish... But yeah, if thats true, its super cheap!

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

If it is that cheap, there has to be a release clause. I doubt it though.

 

[DMA's]

No idea if that source is reliable but I really hope it is. Would be a fantastic signing

Cheap? He cost Brighton £16M last year. Selling him for £30M is a huge win for them, gets a player who probably wants to leave away, and makes them a very attractive proposition for players to go to in the future, knowing they’ll be able to move should they excel and this generate interest, whilst playing there.
