Marc Cucurella

[richards30]

Txiki and the board are true professionals but this isn’t handled very well. Season starts on sunday and we only have two fullbacks. I doubt Pep is very happy about this. There really aren’t many good leftback options out there and this could prove costly. We all saw the ucl final against Chelsea. They won because of a great defense. Koulibaly, Reece, another cb coming in plus Cucurella. One could argue that’s a better defense than the one we have.

I don’t like this at all.

Pep behind the scenes must get pissed off at times and with the sales we have done this year he should have been handed his 3 main targets and having secured 2 quickly and at amazing prices Cucurella should be done as well! Not like we havent paid £50m for a full back before??

How could they have handled it better in your opinion?

It will be interesting to see the final fee for him though. If it is a flat £50 million I think we could come to regret missing out of him.

Player + money is what Chelsea offer and B:ton are ok with it. Or at least that the rumour from London.

Every now and then we have an arrogance that the selling club will bow to us etc and it fails? Cucurella will have no problems going to the chavs as he will still get a nice big pay rise, champions league football etc.

Yea, Cucurella happy to go to Chelsea, just wants get out of Brighton

Lb option of Cancelo /Ake and JWE isn't great for where we want to be.

Ake has an average injury record. Jwe is raw and hasn't been fit regularly over thr last years.

Being positive, can only assume city have someone lined up

hope so mate but we need an actual top quality LB and Cucurella seemed to fit us like a glove?

Hopefully someone really quick. It's not looking good going into the season with 2 FBs

All because we wouldn’t stump up another £10mil. Marvellous.

We do appear to have a small but vocal contingent of entitled drama queens amongst our fanbase.

I’m sure every club is exactly the same, but ours do seem particularly brittle.

I blame the Community Shield!

If our Club is in exactly the same position come 2nd September, then I’d agree we have a problem which could potentially undermine our season.

Thankfully that day is weeks away yet.

It perhaps feels like there is more moaners than not but it's probably the case that whingers are more likely to post; particularly on Twitter, which I use sparingly. Even so, the level of it when the team has won 4 of the last 5 Premier League titles and set record after record is sad.

Our club isn't perfect but it is quite possibly the best run football club in the world and one of the best in any sport.

If we do not sign a left back, we are taking a big risk but one that could be corrected in January. However, at this stage, no evidence that I know of exists to show that City do not have alternative targets.

Tempted to introduce a new forum rule where anyone who claims that our transfer policy is “embarrassing” or “disgraceful” gets an instant ban.

People are allowed opinions though Ric …

Personally don’t think hes worth no more then we sold Zin for ;)

Guerreiro any good?
