[Albion] Marc Cucurella *Signed For Chelsea 05/08/2022*

[Icy Gull]

Nuts to think we might’ve sold two players for £50million+ in just over a year. Absolutely nuts.

Pleased for TB, it's been a long time coming and he has sunk a shit load in, Disappointed to lose star players? Yes of course but look where we are because of his investment and his recruitment seems to be bearing fruit too. We are not down to the bare bones.

 

[Marshy]

It has to be 50+

 

[southstandandy]

£50m and Jesus in return and we'll think about it.

On the Basis of Biss being £30m, if we get 50m+ for Cucurella it'll be a total of £150m+ in 11 months!

The only downside is you do wonder what other chairman might get up to in future negotiations. It’s fairly obvious we now have serious spending power. Just as we are saying ‘rinse Man City’, other clubs will start to be thinking the same about us. Going to have to be some very savvy negotiating.

More like 170 with Dan burn and other smaller transfers.

Mental.

This also has a certain inevitability about it, City can afford to pay what we want. Will they? Looking likely.. Sure to break the White transfer record if it progresses.

My estimate included Burn. I reckoned White, Burn, Tao, Ali J, Gykores and Longman must've totalled around 70m last season.

Right at the end of the article, the least surprising phrase in football

The Portuguese is also a target for Wolves.

Surely he's better off playing another season with us, and see what's occurring at the end of this new season

I'm not sure the player would see it that way. You have to seize opportunities when they present themselves. Who's to say he will have another opportunity to move to a CL side that will be competing for multiple major honours on significantly enhanced salary? If the interest is genuine and the deal right, as a professional footballer he'd be mad to pass it by.

100%

If he doesn't go, City will buy another LB and he won't get another chance to go there and work with Pep.

Gong to City will give him a much better chance of a World Cu place.

Is it odd, all the national papers are still quoting the incorrect figure for Bissouma yet haven't begun to suggest a figure for Cucurella. Reading some of their rubbish it's just a case copy and paste.

Indeed I expect an offer to come in and indeed expect it to be undisclosed, my guess it will be quoted as between 50m and 65m + extras.

They want him they'll get him.

We move on. We are becoming an attractive club to play for and given our recent signings we do appear to be getting our targets. The top 6 don't need to fish in the ponds we do, they wait for us to land the good ones. I'm sure we have some of the best rods around and good bait. Get the net ready.

He might get a better offer than Man City?

Why would he do that and why would he be better off doing it? What is he going to wait a season for... Tottenham?

 

[Glawstergull]

I'm sure Citeh will pay him 4x what we are.

 

[Brok]

I'm sure Citeh will pay him 4x what we are.

Which is a shame.
I've thought many times how football would be so much more competitive with a wage cap. It'll never happen though.

Call me old fashioned, loyalty to club, he's only been here 5 mins and may get a chance of Euro footy with us next season, stranger things have happened.

Palarse ....

Answers to your angry questions as follows:

1. Haven't asked him.
2. Don't know
3. Don't know

Agree with everything bar the figure.
Think they will lowball us with an offer of around £30m and hope to deal at £35-£40m
