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

[Bakero]

What’s not to get? Move can’t be completed until medical is passed.

He can't do a medical if no agreement is n place.

If Chelsea ay £52.5M for Cucu, that is a good deal - could hav been a bit higher, but for a want-away player it's a decent deal. If that's not what is happening it's no cause for rejoicing, let alone a 'Hehe'.

If that £52.5M is conditional on us paying an inflated price for a young Chelsea wannabee - even if he is a fairly promising one - with all the sort of caveats that Chelsea try to impose post Lamptey - buy back clauses, sell-on clauses. loan to buy bollocks, whatever - then the deal can start to look a bit shit. So, rejoicng with a 'Hehe' when the only snag is probably Chelsea playing very hard ball with making us pay over the odds isn't a god look, wouldn't you say.

Thanks for your input, but I’ll laugh at anything I want to thank you very much.

Sky also said the same thing

So did goal

The source was Fabio "chancer" Romano.

 

[lawros left foot]

No, it couldn’t be.








Could it?

I may be wrong but I don’t think I have seen Brighton put out a statement like that if they are actually negotiating a player leaving and it looks close to being done. They just keep quiet until it’s announced.

I think they will be really pissed off to have done it

 

[herecomesaregular]

Gotta love the club.

Says nothing as usual.
Pops out to stick 2 fingers up at trolls the world over.
Then ducks back down again.

Post #6652 on this thread is by far my favourite.

BHA are ****ing brilliant.

I love this pre-season soap opera. First it was the Leeds saga with Ben White, who of course was Leeds born and bred, a lifelong fan and taught how to play football with them and no one else. All that ended swimmingly well.

Then we have Man City with Marc Cucurella. How dare l’il ol’ Brighton refuse a bid by those awfully rich non-winners of the Champions League. How Bluemoon will ever get over the 1000 pages of posts stating that Cucu was theirs.

Now we have Chelsea on the cusp of sealing, or not, the deal. Oh, wait a minute, who is this hovering into view? It’s Barcelona!
Welcome to the party chaps!

Could it?

No it couldn’t - the account goes on to say it’s Gerard Pique’s agent.

 

[Guinness Boy]

And BBC. Defund?

Do you think that the BBC picked it up off Romano or that Romano picked it up off the BBC?

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

This needs to end soon. I have run out of popcorn.

No, it's someone who wants 'likes' in Twitter

 

[Stato]

Sky bod reckons City come out of this well LOL

Saw that.

They wasted seven weeks teasing and unsettling a player that they were never prepared to pay the fee for. Their idiotic and impotent meddling led to the player submitting a transfer request and he'll now end up strengthening one of their rivals. Yes... they've come out of this brilliantly.

One phone call to Brighton asking whether their valuation was anywhere near could have been done quicker than any one of the dozen or so leaks to their Twitter sock puppet, all in confidence, no chance of any leaks at our end, and they wouldn't have crapped all over any future relationship they may want to have with an organisation that is starting to prove itself as one of the leading discovers/developers of young top level playing talent in the country.

Is it totally out of reasoning that City have offered another bid?!!

 

[GT49er]

Thanks for your input, but I’ll laugh at anything I want to thank you very much.

You're welcome. Happty to be able to explain it to you in simple terms.

 

[Guinness Boy]

We need a bit of NOEL.

Is it totally out of reasoning that City have offered another bid?!!

Whether or not they have, we are duty bound to encourage it for the sake of amusement on Bluemoon forum.

 

[um bongo molongo]

Is it totally out of reasoning that City have offered another bid?!!

Think how Dizzy that would make Blue Moon with all their about turns.

To be honest, I didn’t even read what you posted. I saw the length of it and my eyes glazed over.

Feels like most likely Bloom is playing hardball on Colwill. Deal on Cucu agreed subject to that, agent has jumped the gun and Bloom issuing that statement to ensure he doesn’t lose negotiating leverage.

But of course I’m only guessing.

(Along with everyone else)

Indeed. As far as the Cucu deal is done it may be, but it seems contingent on a deal for Colwill.

Tony might be basically vaporising the buyback - "remove it or both deals fail".

Best stick with the Janet and John books for a while then. Keep at it though - the results will be worth it. All the best.
