Cucurella is a decent player. But for £70m I'd drive him there. That's just nuts.
£50m for his contract would be a good piece of business for the Albion. Sometimes we do rather deify our players.
City want a player who will drop into a side looking to win the Champions League. The next step up. He's not played at that level with any regularity. I can see why there is only so far they will go on a defender. I shouldn't imagine there are many defenders who have transferred at £50m plus (only seven at £60m plus). I'll get my tin hat, but he is not at that level.
Cucurella deliberately courts that.
