Well, I (still) disagree with the vast majority of contributions on this thread.
If City come, and if City pay the right amount, he'll be off.
Go back and have a look at the posts on the Bissouma thread, and the fees stipulated by numerous posters. We ended up with about £25m up front with plenty of add-ons. The 'right' amount will disappoint many.

The amount will be known by hardly any…..

dazzer you are almost solely responsible for keeping this thread high up on the board day after day, increasing the hit count on Twitter accounts with no credibility whatsoever, thus fuelling the fire, why?

I can understand those people who neither use NSC or avoid it over the off-season, because it saves being subjected to a lot of needless nail biting baseless speculation that serves no real purpose.

Two completely different scenarios though, Cucurella doesn’t have 1 year left on his contract. If we can sell Ben White to Arsenal for £50m I’m quite sure the club can negotiate a proper deal for Cucurella.

Bissouma had one year left on his contract. Cucurella has four.

Advantage Tony Bloom

Ridiculous comparison. If Bloom managed to negotiate a deal worth up to £35mill from Daniel Levy on a player entering the final year of his contract he sure won’t be letting our player of the season who is 1 year into a 5 year deal move for anything less than a club record fee

 

[Popeye]

Don't care that they play different positions,if Andy freaking Carroll can go for 35m, then Cucurella is worth at least a billion.

I'm not making a comparison between the players contract situations, nor their quality. I'm making a comparison between the expectations of posters on here. I would have thought that wasn't too difficult to grasp, but ho hum.

You can’t make a comparison by ignoring the facts that influence your opinion.

Cucurella having a longer contract is very relevant.

Of course it's relevant, but relevant to what? I suggest you have a look at Bozza's post a few posts back, and start from there.

 

[LamieRobertson]

It was lovely out today

 

[Springal]

Cucurella having a longer contract is very relevant.

Ben White was only 1 year into a new deal, had played for and gone to a major tournament with England and played every minute of every game for us - and we only got £50M !

We got a lot more than £35m for Biss per Paul Barber.

Absolutely he'll be off IF City meet the Clubs price. That's the way it goes, it's how we got him, Enciso, Undav, Mitouma and every other player we (and every other club) have signed for a fee, by meeting the price. Those that didn't sign, the price wasn't met.

So the question is, will Citeh pay what TB is asking?

We don't know. That Romaro bloke hasn't a fricken clue what TB wants. Everything is pure conjecture.

Cucurella is one year into a new deal, he played nearly every minute from the day he joined, he will go to the WC with Spain, White played in a position we had cover in ( better than him) and he wanted to go. Cucurella bids should start at 50 million, and probably move to 60 million. Manchester City need a player in his position.

Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract*

Cucurella is one year into a new deal, he played nearly every minute from the day he joined, he will go to the WC with Spain, White played in a position we had cover in ( better than him) and he wanted to go. Cucurella bids should start at 50 million, and probably move to 60 million. Manchester City need a player in his position.

So Tony Bloom sells a player in practically same circumstances (except Cucu has 0 Spain call ups) for £10M less because we have cover ? Not sure that’s how he works - especially with ‘English tax’

But anyway my point is contract is kind of important but not massively when you get to this valuation IMO

The difference here is that we appear to want to keep the player. Cucurella may go, but Bloom will get the price he wants. City can afford it and we know it. Any attempt at short changing us will be met with short shrift.

 

[jessiejames]

Look the fee will be decided by those on the bluemoon forum. They know best. As if Bloom or the club have any say in it. This is Man city you know.

 

[jessiejames]

Tony Blooms hand just got stronger now surley if they have no Left back if Zinchenko has gone. Extra £10m.

 

[jessiejames]

So is this city first bid?

Still waiting for the first bid, which makes a mockery of the twitterati over the last two months.
