Marc Cucurella

[Sergio16]

I really think we’re missing out on the best possible LB for us, there’s no one else prem proven at that age with his background, I’d be gutted if we lost out on someone who really wanted to join like him, big adds on need to be sorted like a 40 + 10. We can look at other targets but their isn’t many LBs around at all.

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Zinchenko wanted to go, it's our policy to let players go if they get our valuation.
There's still more miles in this saga yet.
If he doesn't come then as pep says, we go with Ake, Cancelo and Laporte. Not the end of the world.

No we don't. We'll be signing a left back.

 

[loio]

Looks like they want to get away from the 50m fullback tag... seriously, they are sensitive with that type of stuff, most expensive, before Grealish 100m player etc. At least Khaldoon.

edit: Khaldoons post-season interview(-s).

 

[footballmanager]

Let's hijack Raum or sign Sosa.

raum please. but its leverage/lying season, cucu wants to leave, city are willing to make a fair bid, its on brighton now

 

[samuelyeboah]

flappity flap flap. we'll very obviously get a left back.

 

[Nottheyorkshirepirlo]

The problem is that we've lost 2 months on a deal that won't happen. We have 1 month to find a decent B option. Sosa, Raum, Lodi.

 

[Agueroooo9320]

Really disappointing over £10 mil after the money we have made through sales. Cucurella is by far the best option out there especially defensively. Gutted really thought he would be quality for us. Letting zin go just looks stupid now

it is not about the money but about not being held to a ransom. 50 mil for a player they bought for 15 mil one season before is literally taking the piss.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

I don’t think he’s worth 50m. I think we shouldn’t overpay.

 

[Gumzy97]

Linked with Mitchell a while back english left back. Pretty decent. Don't know if we would go for him and how much crystal Palace would want.

 

[Charliegull]

How reliable is City extra?

 

[oakiecokie]

Fuck me the flappers are out in force AGAIN !!!!

City Xtra are a news aggregator, not the news source.

 

[samuelyeboah]

no you don't understand, we'll have to maybe play kyle walker and joao cancelo at fullback for like 3 games until someone comes, that's such a huge disaster. pep out. txiki out. we're getting relegated.

 

[Charliegull]

I don’t think he’s worth 50m. I think shouldn’t overpay.

I agree £40m maybe.

 

[celf]

So that was the plan, not to sign anyone after Zinchenko's leaving? We are making the squad thinner. Laporte is still injured, Ake is not a long-term option. C'mon mate, we have to sign someone.

We won't buy for the sake of it, we have a valuation for MC and won't go above it.
Laporte should be fit soon, Ake plays most of his international football at LB and Cancelo is great in that position to.
With JWE as backup we have more than enough.
We have won 4 titles out of 5 without a orthodox LB.

At least £50m is my guess

 

[footballmanager]

still reckon that this might get done for 40 mil + 5 of add ons/a player exchange

WTF are you on about ??

We’re all doomed
