Marc Cucurella

[Rammy Blue]

Its Ramano.....!!!!!

Needs to be taken with a huge pinch of salt and also needs to be looked where he copied and pasted it from ;-)

Don’t be so stupid mate, we are well aware he’s getting his info from Cucu’s agent.

A transfer request is not inconsequential. In this case, it is necessary to get the asking price under 50m, but IMO it won't be sufficient to buy Cucu unless we make an offer of 45m (plus add ons) or at least 40m + 8-10m in (easy) achievable add ons. Let's hope for the best!

Edit: given that Cucu will lose guaranteed bonuses, 45-47m including add-ons will hopefully be enough. Brighton won't accept 'only' 40m.

What realistic difference does a transfer request make and how much do we reckon he'd be giving up in bonuses?

 

[samuelyeboah]

Right, a transfer request by the player I think means we'll have to raise the price. If he's willing to jeopardize his position we should show our appreciation and faith and not abandon him.

The final gambit, interesting to see how it will play out.

yet when its anything else he is called a tap in merchant on here

Where's that Brighton fan who said he was going to sign a new deal? He was fun.

 

[Desert Blues]

thats it.

Cucu is cuckoo for City.

 

[Chevelle]

Hate the idea of arm twisting a club into the deal but if one is required then it is this one. We should tell Cucu's agent to tell Cucurella to hand in a transfer request and go on a strike. We can then wait till end of August when his market value would have plummeted and then see how Bloom reacts to it. Still think this will be done at £35m + £7m in add on.

Just handed one in apparently..

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

I've never like the comparisons to Kane last summer, this one has always felt like a pretty standard summer transfer, but fuck me what a difference having an actual football agent on the ground makes.

 

[lol yank]

Remember the loons who thought he simply wanted Brighton to offer a new contract with increased wages lol. Yeah sure thing

 

[mexico1970]

Am I missing something here?

 

[CityBluez]

Can't believe wow

 

[Del_Bosque]

Be abit unfair to leave him hanging now really, hope we come to an arrangement.

Transfer request forgoes his loyalty bonus as well I believe from Brighton.

If they stick to £50m what ambitious player would ever sign a contract there again without a reasonable release clause.

probably by you

Good news if true. Brighton’s evaluation is not fair. City have offered a substantial fee and Brighton will at least double their original investment. Something was always going to have to break to make this deal happen and I am glad it’s the player. You can’t price a player out of a move to a bigger club.

Chelsea and Arsenal both offered reasonable fees for 3 of our better players. No messing about but these small clubs seem to have a chip on their shoulder.

You have to be realistic. Cucu came from a small club in Spain and moved laterally to Brighton. He has played well and now opportunity knocks.

It’s a hard 1 to take for their fans but the reality is that you don’t win trophies nor compete in the champions league and probably never will unless bloom invests huge amounts into the club. So accept your place in the pecking order and let the player go for a ‘fair’ fee.

 

[razman]

Well, can't fault his ambition for coming to us!

Something like others have said, kane didn't do.

Hopefully this gets wrapped up

Ha, true enough pal. Although we do know he’s mates with the agent.

Hope someone has more precise answers to your questions, but I reckon that by handing in a transfer request Cucu is giving up at least 2-3m in bonuses, maybe even 5m! So, 45m (incl. easy to achieve add-ons) might do the trick.

Haven't seen anyone else post that info. So we will soon see how legit he is.
