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

[atomised]

Love how there are city fans on blue moon fuming because we've stitched them up having told them in May Cucu would cost 30m and then when they firmed up their enquiry we moved the goalposts. no way on earth we ever hinted that price to them

 

[Solid at the back]

Would we take Colwill and Broja?

 

[Whitechapel]

Replacement is mitouma

Doubt we are signing anyone

I mean it’s been heavily reported we’re after a LB even if Cucurella stays, but okay.

I would.

 

[Marshy]

From what I’ve seen of Colwill ( only clips on YouTube) he’s a left back who can also play left sided centre back. Quick, strong in the tackle and can execute a good long pass.

Hes a left footed centre back who can paly left back...

If we do manage to get him I think it suggest we will be playing 3 at the back a lot

 

[Stato]

Colwill would be a replacement. In case you hadn't noticed, Cucu has played LCB the end of last season and in pre-season.

I for one do not share the glee in Chelsea bidding the asking price. I want to watch him play for us. Sod the £££. We should have slapped a £70m tag on him.

Its not glee, but if we have to accept that he's off, this outcome, after City's summer long impression of the UK's Brexit negotiation team, is quite funny. Especially because Chelsea previously walked away from buying Ake because City priced him at £50m. Nice bit of trolling from the West London scumbags.

Admittedly, it would be even funnier if Cucu now says that he only handed in a request because he wanted to play for Pep and now that's not going to happen, he wants to stay, but with CL football on offer and Tuchel's love of playing with wing backs, we'll not hold our breath for that outcome.

Why do Chelsea want to spend that much on Cucu? They've already got Ben Chilwell

Sicknote is Chillwell and the may play Cucu left side of a 3 like we did, gives them options they need

 

[Weststander]

I read countless posts in this thread, typically from Romano fanboys, who said it was natural and just for Cucu to reunite with Guardiola plus the special La Masia and Catalan connection.

So, Cobham it is.

(Unless Mansour smells the coffee and gazumps Chelsea).

Chelsea and Spurs are going to be really, really strong this season.

and Marcos Alonso is leaving.

He needs TB to pick up the phone first. Hopefully he's blocked Mansour's bargain hunting head of recruitment

We’ll still beat them both

 

[cjd]

IF....Cucurella signs for Chelsea, would his transfer request still mean he loses various financial settlements from our club..?

 

[The Fits]

We’ll still beat them both

We’ll never beat Chelsea!

 

[Icy Gull]

We’ll still beat them both

That'd be a first

I don't know much about Chelsea's youngsters, so my concern is not to do with his quality, more a concern with the deal. If he has promise, aren't Chlesea likely to want a buyback clause? Would we want to take someone on, coach them through their first year or two in the premier league show they are a star player, and then lose them for peanuts, because Chelsea have a right to buy them? If he doesn't have promise, if Chelsea don't see themselves wanting to buy him once he has proven himself in the premier league, is he good enough to make it worth our while? Wouldn't we be better looking elsewhere for a replacement?

Didn't we back out of a deal for a FB who eventually went to Saints because Chelsea wanted a buy back clause. Livermiento or something like that? Good player too, got a nasty injury when we played them at the Amex and had to be stretchered off

Loans in and buybacks don't seem to be acceptable to the Albion.

 

[Weststander]

£50m in cash plus Levi, then move on.

A month of the window left, total faith here in TB & PB.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I would assume so, but I doubt TB would enforce this.
He always said the player was available at the asking price, so the Transfer request looks to be irrelevant.
