Marc Cucurella

[penalty spot]

We won't be getting him, they've given him time out to get his head right IMO.

 

[Cheadle_hulmeBlue]

What’s the obsession with having a ‘natural left back’. It’s not like we’ve struggled over the last few years with the likes of Cancelo.

Even if we signed him I still think Cancelo would be starting ahead of him anyway.

Only been 36 hrs since his transfer request.

Footballs not for you mate, get back on Twitter

Two questions.
1, Do you go to the match.
2, If so, do you tend to have a drink.

 

[Kamaro011]

Still no confirmation from our side that we ended our interest for him which means it's still on.

 

[Keeper!]

I think Cucurella needs to go on strike to force the move. He has already handed in a transfer request. Next move should be not to turn up to training. He will get fined and then eventually a deal should be struck amounting to the 50M they want.

Go on strike?

He's handed in a transfer request and was "injured" yesterday, if we don't complete this deal it will damage future negotiations with other clubs.

For me, we are not doing ourselves any favors the way we have gone about this.

We want a player that his club does not want to sell, so the only negotiation is to pay the asking price or walkaway.

The player would not have asked for a move unless we were 100% Committed

Never good for a player or football in general for a player to go on strike.

If Brighton won't deal, they won't deal and that's that.

Need an unlike button on here.

Press like twice bud.

You're welcome.

 

[Perseus]

Brian Owen (journo) says fee Brighton want is in excess of Ben Whites fee which was well in excess of £50 million as certain add ons already paid.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

So Raum's definitely off the table. I hope we either up our bid or move on in the next few days.

 

[Centurions]

You've been told the ball park figure. An awful lot of whinging about a player not going to you for £30million proves you all rate him! Why the hesitation then. Pay the Brighton valuation, or can't you?

Told the ball park figure? By who dick wad?

I agree, we need to get a more realistic bid on the table so that some proper negotiating can start.

We’d be properly cutting nose off to spite our face if we walk away from this over a few million quid now.

Why everyone is saying he has moved to rb but I can't see it confirmed anywhere.

didn't work so I withdrew my like.

Sadly it's becoming the norm and for me it needs to stop.

Are we using Bayern tactics?

 

[Tony - MCFC]

He had half a good season and was dogshit for the rest of it, let's not rewrite history.

Guess we all see different things

Yep, although you can’t call out City for doing anything wrong on here…

Our opening £30mil bid I even posted on here I didn’t believe it at the time, yet evidently it was a true bid, which imo was pathetic and counterproductive if you want a deal and to get it done quick.

We should have started at £40mil, even if some of that was easily achievable add ons.

We are doing nothing wrong but at the same time lowballing bids just waste time and upset the other party.
