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

[HastingsSeagull]

I know others of you have offered 25 and 50 quid but I’ve offered the club a fiver. As he’s such a Hastings/Manila fan and was ‘here’ last year plus his mate Philip Keirans lives round the corner I’m certain he’ll come do mine. The club have no say if the player wants to go after all especially given the ‘massive’ size of my lawn

Leicester do seem to be ‘watching their pennies’ this window. I can see a few problems ahead there.

Rogers on borrowed time . They were not happy last season league wise ( Despite 8th) and rumblings started. The run in Europe kept the pressure off to a degree but can see him getting axed if things don't start very well. Tough one as on paper 6/7/8 is about right for them but guess once you won the prem and fa cup then anything else seems a bit naff. Suspect something will happen with alot of our newer fans when we start to struggle are next in relegation battle ( whenever that may be )

There's a superb thread on Twitter somewhere about why he's a complete tap-in merchant / transfer bullsh!tter

Ok. I hadn't seen him previously.

But will he pass a medical with the niggly calf injury that kept him out on Saturday?

Thought that was referring to cucurella for moment, seemed odd, since he'd only scored one goal for us and it was far from a tap in.

I have, I've got him mowing the lawn next Tuesday for £25.

Good idea, I've heard be covers every blade of grass. (I may have been beaten to this, will find out on next page)

I wouldn't touch Cucurella with a bargepole on my lawn.


That hair....and a lawn mower....FFS..!

Not from the way he was dancing up and down when he heard he might be on his way.

Also mentioned on the BBC website which in turn is quoting the Evening Standard;

Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract*

They need to balance the books, according to Rodgers.

A great advert of operating within your own means.

The lack of European football and I suspect inflated wage bill from previous success has hindered them. At least they are being prudent but could struggle this year

Sorry mate I've jumped in with a 50quid offer for next Tuesday.

Too late, he’s already signed the contract. If he doesn’t show you’ll be hearing from my lawyers!

Aside from losing one of our best players I can't get over how well this has gone for us considering the alternatives.

We get what we asked for in terms of value without unduly upsetting a player and demonstrate that we won't be low balled by teams all at the same time.

And what's 60 million euros, about 70 million quid?

This.

A very useful lesson for clubs like City to learn. I'd imagine that behind the scenes we were totally open and honest with Cucu regarding the asking price.

And we get to provide another example to prospective young players that we're a proven pathway to a Champ League club in the PL
