Marc Cucurella

[waspish]

again I don't begrudge brighton for holding out for the fee they want. player has a contract until 2026, if city really want him they have to realize they gotta pay up, simple

We will once Sterling and Ake out the door

 

[Charliegull]

Realistically, you need the money from a Cucurella transfer

No because that money is Blooms money

 

[Rammy Blue]

Not sure if wumming.

No, he’s not. jrb often has a weird take on some stuff, heart in right place though.

Fair play Rammy.

You can only make a loss for so many years.

Paul Barber, CEO at Brighton just said on sky sports news, the club has to be realistic about Cucurella transfer

Just seen the full quote. Couldn't be clearer that BHA are playing footsie with us.

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

Ake was signed imo because Laporte had missed almost a season through injury and we were hedging against him not making a full recovery or breaking down again

And maybe because of our loyalty to Fernandinho. For the last 2 seasons he was only half the player really. Not good enough to cover Rodri and not really enough to cover the CBs. Therefore, we definitely needed another CB, in case of injuries and I’m pretty sure Ake was touted as a possible defensive midfielder (I don’t think he played there, maybe one game?) to cover that position. Now a decent defensive midfielder has become available, we’ve snapped him up, so both CB and DM is covered.

Yes in other words you offer what we want you get the player. All clubs do it until someone gives in, or the player decides to put in transfer request.

Meaning what exactly

 

[Gumzy97]

I guess this will happen quite quickly now with Sterling being sold.

 

[Mr-Mertle]

Meaning what exactly

That if the big offer comes in and the player wants to go (he does) then they are not in a position to decline.

Brighton will save thousands in shampoo and hairspray if we take him off your hands, not to mention enormous hairdryer lecky bill

 

[waspish]

Can see this being wrapped up in the next 10 days now

 

[RandomJ]

Hopefully. The players go to America at the end of next week so would be nice for him to play a part.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

We don’t need him. Zinchenko is a more than capable left back.

 

[oakiecokie]

Either a poor Clarkie or you`re delusional.

 

[Trickyblues]

We don’t need him. Zinchenko is a more than capable left back.

Yes we do lmao. We need an actual left back plus Zinchenko staying.

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

Yes we do lmao. We need an actual left back plus Zinchenko staying.

I’ll trust pep and the club thanks mate.

They clearly agree we don’t need him.

 

[Trickyblues]

I’ll trust pep and the club thanks mate.

They clearly agree we don’t need him.

So why are they trying to buy him?

 

[MillsyTheMosher]

So why are they trying to buy him?

You obviously missed the fact Brighton’s owner has said they haven’t heard a peep from City and are in discussions about a new contract with him.

Silly, silly boy.

Pep and the club clearly agree Zin is more than good enough at LB.
