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

[Bra]

Insane money and clearly too good to turn down. Probably just me but has left me feeling a bit flat for the new season. One of the best left sided defenders in the league gone and replaced at the moment by a player who won't be here this time next year. Oh well nothing that a win on Sunday won't put right. Looking forward to the endless left back signing threads.

He was brilliant going forward, sometimes not always all that being run at

4th most tackles of any player in the league.

 

[Napper]

Huge money and a brilliant return after a year.

Like White and Bissouma, it's another triumph of the club and Potter's tactics to polish up the diamonds to be sold.

He deserves UCL football and a chance at recognition on the biggest stage in the World Cup.

I wish him all the best and will always be grateful for his contribution to the top half finish.

So over to you, Albion players. Who's going to be our star of 2022-23?

Time to step up!

Mitoma would be my bet

Ah, two years ago we brought a centre back into the team who ended up not being here the same time the following year, and then this time last year we signed a left back who ended up not being here the same time a year later. And they were two good seasons. This time next year we'll have more new exciting signings, and the world will keep turning.

Yes we've lost a great player, but at the same time we've got Caicedo, Undav, Mitoma, Enciso, van Hecke, a fit Lamptey, a fit Welbeck, none of which we had this time last year.

Don’t agree with this. The statement put out by the Albion was true. Perhaps it was needed to focus a few minds in the negotiating room. By the same token the Chelsea piss take is quite funny.

Isn’t the Chelsea Twitter admin the ex BHAFC admin ?

Really ? Moneybags Chelsea poaching our best social media types as well then. The game’s gone……………….

Going by the pre season I don’t think GP will play March at LWB.

We had Cucurella pre season, I think there’s a rethink now, even if it’s short term

It was nice while it lasted.

Next....

Is this the first time there's been a single thread on NSC where the first posts are about a potential signing and the last posts are about the player leaving?

All over in just over a year. Short but very sweet.

You are aware of how families are created, right?

I hope so otherwise the vasectomy wasn’t proportionate

That Chelsea tweet is pathetic given the amount of leaking around the deal that was going on.

Agreed. Considering they've got the deal done, it seems a really oddly-gloating thing to post. Distinct lack of class, IMO.

Goodness, we must be due some first team signings then.

Yes but not too suprising, this is Chelsea we are talking about.

I think it was supposed to be a light hearted piss take.

Shall I let you into a little secret?
We have a first class team of scouts scouring the world (yes, the whole world) for undiscovered 'rough diamonds'.
We have a first class team behind the scenes to buy these players.
We have Mr Potter to take these 'rough diamonds' and polish them into jewels that play bloody good football, and earn us points in the league.
At the top end we have Mr Bloom, PB etc that do the ...er... business things that clever people do.

What I'm trying to say is that you should be feeling more optimistic now, than at any other time in our history.
We may well lose on Sunday, I don't care. But this season is going to be a cracker.

Chelsea have never had any class.

Blue Moon still have almost twice the number of posts in their Cucu thread than we have. It’s their Calleri moment

With £50 million+ coming in does that mean the fee for printing tickets at home can be reduced or removed?
