Marc Cucurella

If Mattyb’s info was right and they’ve had our best and final offer….Brighton are taking a long time to reply.

I agree - but history tells us that we’d distance ourselves from the deal very quickly if it wasn’t going to happen. So we are obviously still talking.

 

[Mr-Mertle]

Well if Zinny's going we aren't in a strong bargaining position in whatever direction we go for a LB this summer. This is one situation where I'm happy paying Brighton's valuation to just get it done.

Thanks, I'm sure the club will be grateful for the contribution. :)

Starting a gofundme as we speak

The hair has to go.

Hate to see the lad go, and from a financial aspect, we went from amortizing a 2 million purchase on low wages to a 50 million purchase on what I would assume would be higher wages.

 

[Kamaro011]

All great, but how does selling zin work?

Because he wants to leave when the right offers him more game opportunites and playing at midfield.

But we have also now booked about 30 million profit

Wish big success to Zin should the transfer happen, but he might find it a lot more difficult to shine outside City's exceptional team. Won't be easy for Jesus either. Both moves might look questionable (from their perspective) come January, more so for Zin, imo.

Tbf, it's not guaranteed that their replacements at City will hit the ground running. Let's hope for the best.

I’m expecting this to pick up any day now

Nothing but the best to Zinchenko but selling him on to partially fund this guy is fantastic business.

People have been saying that for about a month. I guess it’s got to be correct eventually.

You mean Isco going to join us eventually?

Holy shiittt.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Great purchase and a cracking character,but i'm not at all arsed if he goes for the price that is being mooted and it opens the door to bring in a superior alternative.

 

[Trickyblues]

Reckon this will done done tomorrow/early next week.

Very depends on whether Brighton can find their replacement first, i reckon City will wait for them to get their replacement.

 

[foggy1974]

Have Brighton signed a replacement leftback, dont think we see any movement about Cucurella until they have

They aren’t even close to one :/ Tagliafico is one quick deal they could trigger if City and Brighton agree a deal quick for Cucu

 

[Cobwebcat]

Starting to wonder where this story first broke now! Is it all a dream?

 

[VinceYoungisaBLUE]

Am I missing something with this guy? Admittedly didn't see him at Getafe but saw him for Brighton a handful times and he never stood out, except when he cried when scored which I found bizarre at the time...

Mendy was a spectacularly gifted footballer with all the big teams watching him and Zinchenko out played him regularly Just feels like a big downgrade, in multiple ways
