Marc Cucurella

[OB1]

Fair enough, you must be very confident he can improve significantly. I'm very hopeful but not as confident.

I think his performances have been better than many other people do but he needs to take a few more risks. The technical ability is there.

At that money Chelsea are welcome to him ! Was never that impressed...

Can’t really have any complaints if Chelsea match Brighton’s valuation of Cucurella and we didn’t. It’d be absolute fucking madness to start this season with only two recognised senior full-backs though, so trust we have someone else lined up.

Here we go with the madness! Fingers and toes crossed we don't pick up any more injuries and Laporte returns asap.

I was £30m impressed. £60m is a bit of a joke.

Spoke to the father of Brighton's goalkeeping coach yesterday. He said that Brighton were originally holding out for £37m from City when Chelsea came along with a daft offer.

I hope that posters on here that have been giving the club stick for not paying what Brighton were asking for now realise how wrong they were.

Once you get known to be a club that can be had over a barrel then that will happen repeatedly

CITY are getting to an 'elite' position - where players want to come to us over other clubs - that was the same with Cucurella - we don't have to allow ourselves to get mugged like it was back in 2008

Zinchenko played well for Arsenal tonight, but toward the end of the first half up to his substitution, his lack of pace started to tell as he got skinned for pace a few times.

It's small but crucial things that make the difference between a good solid, technical pro & a top player. In my opinion, Zinchenko just fell short in this respect.

They started targeting him with the long diagonal ball and it was working

A hopeful £37m from us or £65m worth of value from Chelsea, I wonder how long they deliberated over that?

Where are the itk's ?

No doubt keeping their powder dry, and who can blame them.

I don't think the goalkeeping coach would be briefed on issues related to transfers.

At least one had the balls to come on and admit, 'His mate got it wrong'.

 

[Centurions]

You think it's inconceivable that someone who works at the club will have no knowledge of transfers?

 

[argyle]

I still can't believe Chelsea have paid £63m for Cucurella..Plus a player on loan. Absolutely crazy.
Makes you wonder why we let Zinchenko go for £32m.

Their new owner thinking he's a Billy Big Bollocks by swooping in and paying ridiculous fees.

His scatter gun approach is gonna bite him in his hedge fund, yankie ass.

A goalkeeping coach would know nothing about the fees both parties would agree on. He would probably know about the interest from certain clubs but that's as far as it goes in regards to his insight on transfer deals.

I don't think there will be anyone else lined up. Not at the reasonable price we'd want.

Clubs know we're desperate and with the Cucurella fee they'll be asking for the same.

There is no way we start the season without an additional LB...No way...

Imminent incoming transfer in 24hrs?

I love the idea that the father of Brighton's goalkeeping coach would be privy to this information :p

It's the little details in these made up 'in the know' stories that makes them so compelling :)

It seems like Chelsea are going in all guns blazing and trying to snap up whoever is available, It's not like they have a plan in place or a structure going forward they are just signing players for the sake of it.
