That has always been the case. Last season the funds from shifting Ben White bought us Cucurella and Mwepu, that sale made us stronger, the window is open, so save your misery for a while yet, and see what Cucurella money can get us.

It was clearly bullshit that was being highlighted as such, not a genuine source being revealed.

I hope he has a shocker against us, but other than that I hope he makes a big contribution to Chelsea stuffing Man City, home and away. I think the way City approached trying to gain his signature was out of order, Karma dictates that Chelsea, Cucurella, and Brighton play a significant role in...

I believe Caicedo will be a better player than Biss, however that is not yet proven, but from what we have seen so far it looks likely. We will struggle for a better LWB than Cucurella, but I think we would miss Sanchez more. As I said, not sure we have just sold our two best players, two of our...

Not sure we have sold our two best players, lets see, but I would be surprised if we drop off massively on last seasons points total. Potter will find a way to make it work with the players he has.

Saunders was practically given away at £60k to Oxford, who sold him 1 year later for £1M.

City are reportedly looking at Sergio Gomez, but thought to be for development rather than straight in the first squad, would be hilarious if Anderlecht want more than they value him at, and we then outbid them for him.

Go on, tell me where your cut off is, I have told you there is not one for me. I think you may have taken my comment to mean I am chasing riches, I am not, but there is no sum of money I would turn down if offered because it was too much.

Whenever he does, it will be for an obscene amount, and at obscene wage, or market price, depending on your point of view.

Not sure what triumph you have decided you now have, but do tell us what the magic number is that you would refuse receiving a penny more than, just so I know when I am being greedy rather than prudent.

Never gets ridiculous. No amount of money is too much if it is coming your way. Your only problem is others knowing you have a lot of disposable cash and keep tapping you up for a "loan", or kidnapping your kids for a ransom. If you find a large amount of cash a burden, I would be very happy to...

But if you could swap your £10M winning ticket for a £20M winning ticket, you would do so, and be more confident that you could look after your grandkids.

Played in 25 games last season, why do you think he will be fit less often after corrective surgery?

Given that our model is to buy young and upcoming stars, rolling over to City on this one would just encourage more of the same next season when they come for Caicedo, or the season after when they fancy Sarmiento, or Enciso. I hope Cucurella gets it explained that Brighton just can't afford to...

Burnley similarly dicked around with the fee offered though, if they had offered nearer the start the £8M they ended up offering on deadline day, they may have got him, but they left Brighton with no time to reliably get a replacement.

Stephens went 4 years later didn't he? And I think Bennet was 6 months later, they first came for him in January, and we made them wait till the summer.

I do like very much that it is Brighton that have effectively stood up and walked away from negotiations, thereby not allowing City to walk away from the deal, as they reportedly had "threatened" to do. This is the aspect of this saga that is peeing me off, City, having made a very nice offer...

Personally I think a new deal offer is likely off the table after he put a transfer request in.

This is a potential outgoing player thread, we have had far more potential incoming threads on players, some of them even became real incoming players, a very exciting lad called Enciso this summer, probably would have been done in January and loaned back to the selling club till this summer as...

Darwin Nunez? I was tempted to bounce the Calleri thread for you, lets hope this Cucurella saga turns out the same way for City as that one did for us.
