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

[Cheeky Monkey]

Hasn't he been loaned out yet ?

 

[AZ Gull]

Although technically correct, it's a bit of a stretch to describe him as a 'Spanish International'.

I do hope we're not getting carried away with irrelevant, fanciful exotic descriptions of a player rather than focusing on more pertinent concerns such as the actual possibility he will make an impact in the PL, unlike for instance 'The Iranian Pogba'....

The thing I don't understand, is why a Palace fan is pretending to be an Albion fan and posting on their rival's message board, in the dead of night.

Very peculiar behaviour.

 

[um bongo molongo]

FIFA has his pace as 81, which is a decent number given that Lamptey is 84. How rapid is he in real life?

He’d be an 84 with a more aerodynamic haircut

 

[Funnell]

Can we give him a song to the tune of Kelis' Acapella?

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Can we give him a song to the tune of Kelis' Acapella?

I'm opposed to any songs for new players, until we have sorted one for Maupay.
It's ridiculous that Connolly has 2 (possibly 3) and Maupay has none,

Seems to have his own tv show!

Wondering if that nose bandage is from the whack he got on Saturday, a cosmetic surgery, or if he is dressing up as new Superhero "Curly Hair Man"

Oh Cucurella, you are the love of my life, etc.

When the ball hit's the goal it's not Kane or 'Naldo it's Neal Maupay

Born on the 22nd July. Left footed . . . . Clearly a Genius. Apart from the curly hair. No one's perfect.

Given most new signings take a year to 'get up to speed' and threaten the first team he 'done good innit'

I'm all for creative imagination, but . . . .

Here's hoping I'm wrong this season . . . .

To the tune of A Horse with No Name by America

. We've come to the Amex
For a goal from Maupay
It feels good when he does it again
At the Amex, you'd best remember his name
Neal Maupay strikes and he's won us the game
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la

Lyrics need some work but it's a great tune and everyone loves a song that ends with "la la la la la". Even those who don't know the words can belt out that bit.

[Stat Brother]

Yes he can.

 

[SimpKingpin]

MoTM for me.

The confident, silky interplay between Lallana, Cucurella, Trossard and Maupay was really something special - particularly in the second part of the first half.

Loved it!

 

[Bakero]

Just what we needed. Solid defensively, tenacious and decent going forward. As you'd expect, he's good on the ball, having been schooled at La Masia.

 

[albionfan37]

Mightily impressive today really looking forward to seeing him once he’s really bedded in

 

[The Wookiee]

Cucurella on the left and Lamptey on the right - I can’t wait to see it

 

[Swansman]

Looked great today. Still a little bit to learn when it comes to defending without the ball but he looks like a really good signing.

 

[peterward]

Just what we needed. Solid defensively, tenacious and decent going forward. As you'd expect, he's good on the ball, having been schooled at La Masia.

He played very well today when we were attacking in the first half, a quality LWB and really adds to the attack..

Still not 100% sure if he's as good defensively as he is offensively? certainly decent enough, but once we were under the cosh and he was playing more as a LB in the second half when he was purely defensive, he wasn't quite as comfortable as he had been first half.

But early days, a cracking sigining who is going to be great for us.

Cucu looks very promising (though not quite a pretty bird). The Computer, though, has got some work to do to get up to speed in PL - turn off, and turn on again?
