Marc Cucurella

[Tugay One Cup]

We’ve never had a left back “at that level.”

So much so, that in my lifetime, our best proper left back we’ve had is probably Kolarov.

Plenty of people on here seem to think that we have to turn into the English Galacticos before we achieve the level of success that we've been enjoying for the last decade.

Yeah. The more you have in a squad, the harder it is to keep the dressing room harmony positive.

Pep is unbelievable at being able to strip big players’ egos back, but even he doesn’t want 20 galacticos.

Pretty much every time I watched him play he stood out to me as a player too good for Brighton. We have had some good left backs since Phelan.. but no great ones. Hope this deal happens

If I had time I'd dig the post out, but I commented a few months ago, long before we were ever linked with him, that he'd impressed me every time I'd watched him

Yep,he stood out for me the first time i saw him at the start of the season.

We need to replace Mendy. Fact.
Whoever comes in, he needs to be better than the ones challenging the LB spot.

I like Cucurella and his style of play. I understand why Txiki and Pep have him watch and could be interested in signing him.

He still needs to prove himself within our squad and the way we play, fulfilling the expectations within the club and their fans. And that’s totally different than playing at Brighton.

I wish it was that simple. From Sam Lees article it does sound like he doesn't expect anyone to leave other than Jesus, while Cucurella and Phillips coming in. Thats it. He hinted at if anyone else leaves the transfer strategy changes.
