Congratulations, that’s brilliant for genuine Brighton fans as nobody wants parasites in football. It doesn’t change the fact you live in a town full of plastics who will stop following Brighton as soon as you go down.

Maybe I’m wrong and they’re all proper fans, fans who boo the team after a draw at home whilst sitting in the top ten.

Bumped into my media outlet source this afternoon about this player. He said that it’s just speculation atm. There will be a player unveiled next week and a big rumour about sterling going. So nothing new then..

They make a good point. Why didn't WE sign him from Barcelona if we thought he was that good. ( Oops forgot we had Mendy).

We don't very often take risks with unproven talent.
We'd rather let someone else take the risk and pay them a bit extra if or when we like what we see.
It's the reason why we sell so many of our academy products with buy back clauses.
 
if pep wants him at all costs then the txiki/sorriano will be paying £40-50M...i hope we will promote kabore as a back-up for Walker...Zinny and Cancelo are good enough...Cucu is a luxus signing

Yep! Could be why quite a few of the talented youngsters are being sold? City may have fancied say paying £30-40m max but end up paying £50m including add ons so sell a few talented youngsters to make up the difference in the books. Getting done next week imo

Can't blame Brighton wanting a top price. If we want him pay them or move on.
What other club plays a right back and midfielder in an important role of left back which we need all the more to service Harland now.

Correct he’s Brighton’s player and they can demand what they want for him

its up to us to either pay or move on

I really don’t think Cucurella would be liking social media posts so obviously about our new signings etc if things weren’t happening behind the scenes. I think it’s done within 2 weeks max

It’s not unheard of…Kane certainly behaved like a move was inevitable.

Footballers are human and can make silly mistakes particularly as they live in a bubble where everyone tells them they are great.
 
Pep doesn’t get everyone he likes. Sometimes Pep is portrayed as a mixture of a genius and a spoilt child. It doesn’t work like that and neither would Pep want it to.

City, like nearly all clubs (except United it seems) look at what will happen when the current Manager moves on, not just while he is here. We naturally look at the chances of a player fitting in from all aspects and that is before the finances kick in.

City have demonstrated time and again that we will walk away if the asking price is too much. Getting a player at any cost isn’t the way the club is run now and it’s working.

Pep is a big cog in the decision process but he isn’t alone.

I expect Cucurella to come but if Brighton value him significantly higher than we do then they keep him and City move on.
 
I think this one will drag on.

Brighton fans are right. He has a long contract and a chairman who will stick to a price.
Up to City to meet it. It won’t be cheap and it probably will be 50m.

With City having Cancelo and Zinchenko at LB it’s not a signing that’s as important as replacing Fernandinho, hence the Phillips deal done quicker.

I see this maybe even going to deadline day.

Cucurella is going to have to force this if he wants it. If he does it will likely happen and maybe Zinchenko leaving late in the window as well if it does.

Based on what? Why would anyone in their right mind drop one of our top five performers? He hasn't shown any signs of slowing down so where is this idea of replacing him with Cancelo coming from?

Cancelo is not going to replace him but we are going to have a tactical shift to adapt to play inverted wingers and play crosses to the striker. Walker is bad at all this aspect and are cancelo's strength. Playing cancelo there will also give us the option to play two strikers or two no 6
