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

[SeagullinExile]

It is what it is. Thanks Marc for helping us have a very good season last season and now we move on and focus on who still plays for the Albion.

Marc who?

Jordan on the money again as usual this morning (unfortunately)

Trevor Sinclair is a very gifted individual..

He can mimic talking out of his mouth while talking out of his arse

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Good luck to Cucurella, done well for his family.

Will applaud him when he comes back.

Really pleased City failed, and I think Pep will be quite p!ssed about it.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Actually ****ing gutted. Can't blame him for wanting to move to a huge club, good luck to him. Just wish we'd had him a bit longer.

Can take some solace in pissing off City at least.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

After pulling out of the Livramento deal, seems odd he would agree to this.

I don’t have an issue with a buy back if we proportionately benefit financially. It’s a lot stronger then a loan.

The buy back will also be reflected in the fee we pay and I don’t think it’s uncommon to settle / remove the clause in the interim if both sides are happy with an additional fee

That's interesting. What happened to 'just let the possible Chelsea bid lay around for a few days to see if some kind of desperation happens at City', then?

It's almost like: 'If the bid meets the club's evaluation, I'm not sure [TB would] give a stuff about what City think.'

If you are referring to this, written two office days ago,:

I could be wrong but think it appears to be sensible to just let the possible Chelsea bid lay around for a few days to see if some kind of desperation happens at City when they realise they won't get him for peanuts in the end and when they realise that the option of signing him next year would be pretty much gone if he moves to Chelsea. If they're not confident in the options, they just might say "**** it" and return with a proper bid, maybe outbidding Chelsea. Not sure if this is what will happen but makes a lot of sense to me.

... then yes, turned out it didn't happen. Contrary to your opinion that Bloom would accept not the potential best offer in a bid war but all bids that met the valuation, I still think that if Manchester City had made a desperate £60m, Tony would have said "**** Chelsea, you're going to City". But as that appears not have happened, I guess we'll never find out.

He’ll have to drink Stella now.

It’s all gone very, very bitter on Blue Moon.

They can always hold up a sign asking for his new shirt when we play Chelsea.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Wonderful player, a massive part of our best ever side, will always remember him fondly and wish him the best.

He gets the big move, money and Champions League football he wanted, we got a great season from him and a MASSIVE profit. Everyone’s a winner.

Well except City, think they’ll regret it.

 

[Popeye]

Buyback is fine with me. If they want to buy him back down the road, that just means he has been tremendous for us so that's great, we take the profit on him, and get a replacement.

Not done until Naylor says so.

 

[Dave the OAP]

I sssume our scouting team are in South America now scouring clubs for a full/ wing back.

 

[WATFORD zero]

Good luck Marc (obviously apart from when Tariq rips you apart)

I think you'll settle in quicker that BW, but £50M+ is £50M+

I think Sarmiento could have a breakthrough year, while Mwepu and Caicedo get better and better. If AliMac carries on as he has been, with Dunk, Webster and Veltman, Big Bob, and Solly together with a fit (for the first time in years) Welbz, I think we'll survive

Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract*

Can we now Nick Sergio Gomez from city for the full house?

As an aside we really need to focus on getting some of contracts strengthen now

Sinclair “Not surprised Brighton haven’t matched his ambition and sold (incited cheaply)Bissouma to spurs”

how’s this man in work?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sold our best player no less and in doing so showing a lack of ambition.
No mention of the fact that he was going into his last season on contract and unlikely to sign a new one.
Sinclair proving that most footballers are as thick as mince.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Sky bod reckons City come out of this well LOL

 

[AmexRuislip]

Good luck to him.
Fvcking agents piss me off.
No loyalty these days.



I'll get over it, eventually

Another positive is that we are having very productive deals with Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea. With the likes of Lamptey coming here, as well as £130m in fees, and possibly another promising youngster, it is no bad thing to share productive relations with clubs that hoover up talent from the South East.

Money talks of course, but once those channels of communication are open, then hopefully it can be mutually beneficial.
