I think he could actually end up staying, as I think it will take a bid nearer £60M, which may be too much even for Chelsea!

I think TB wants £60M and I think MC will end up staying.

No he wouldn’t. £40M for Cucarella to City is actually laughable.

Yes I’d imagine most people, not all, would move to another town, city or country to double their salary, but if you have signed a contract you can’t just walk away. City have to pay the TB’s valuation or this deal doesn’t happen. The end.

Disagree. How many of the players we buy go straight into our first team? Usually they go out on loan, we develop them, if they do really well they get into our first team. Only White and Bissouma have been sold to bigger clubs. For all the other players’ agents getting their player a move to...

I guess the transfer request has changed the narrative, so we’ll be talking even more than we have been already. Hopefully the price tag will remain the same, it’s down to City to pay the money. Genuinely hope TB holds his nerve and holds out for our valuation. UTA.

I think that is just very wishful thinking from City fans.

Honestly Cucurella’s desire, whatever that means, is barely relevant right now. Firstly he signed a five year contract a year ago and had four years left to run. Maybe in a year or two he will get a “dream” move, but remember Lamptey came from Chelsea because he wanted to play football. Maybe...

I agree in part. Yes they could get him and yes they probably want him, BUT they simply cannot be seen to be constantly and massively paying over the odds, either in their eyes or more importantly in the eye of other clubs. Truth be known he’s probably around £45M but to us he’s worth a lot...

I’m feeling incredibly chilled, even on this, the hottest day ever. Our squad looks stronger and more together than it’s ever been. I genuinely don’t think Cucarella will leave this window, but even if he does it will be for an unbelievable sum of money, like half the cost of building the Amex...

We need to stop bickering and focus on helping Cucarella to stay at the Albion. #together.

Ridiculous. £60M+ is where the bidding starts. Genuinely hope they jog on now and we smash it next season. Then they can come back in 12 months to find all the prices of our players have gone up. Seagulls! UTA.

City can offer whatever they like, but that doesn’t mean that TB will meet them in the middle, that is laughable. Cucarella is worth more to us than Ben White and it’s City not Arsenal wanting our player. This is a £55-£60M deal. If that isn’t what City want to pay then they’ll need to find...

That’s like Bloom letting someone know he’s got 3 aces whilst raising the stakes, which City will have to do btw because £45M is a long way off.

FACT in capital letters on NSC actually means probably / maybe / imho etc.

If, and that’s a big if, we sell Cucarella to City in the next few weeks it won’t be for less than £60M. FACT.

The price in my head seems to be moving up. If he had one year left on his contract I’d say £40M, but Bloom is going to want at least double his money on the other years left, £15M / 5 = £3M x 2 = £6M x 3 more = £18M. That takes you to £58M. Factor in City and it could be as high as £70M. I...

I think he’ll stay, we’ve got City over a barrel. Cucarella will cost them $100M. We really don’t want or need to sell him. Maybe we’ll sell in a year or two but not now.

Just because DA has gone to NUFC doesn’t mean that they are going to suddenly come in for all the players we’ve been tracking for the past 2-3 years. Remember Caicedo chose us over Man United, Lamptey was at Chelsea and chose to join the Albion. If Cucurella goes to City, it just makes BHA even...
