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

[Kneon Light]

Athletic said Brighton had not SANCTIONED a medical. Very interesting choice of wording I thought.

It’s all gone a bit Peter Odthingymwingy.

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!

But didn't he ask for a transfer as he believed we were asking too much from city who wouldn't go over 40 million? Surely he'll be even more peed off with us if we're not allowing Chelsea to buy for 52?

Nope. 52.5m is bare minimum value IMO. And the rumour mill then suggests that we're paying 20m for an unproven youngster coming the other way. With a buy back clause no less. I think it sucks and it's barely better than what City were offering. I have no doubt that a public statement from the club saying that he's "not for sale" will see him knuckle down and continue to turn out stellar performances in order to get in to that Spain World Cup squad. People saying that we've "played a blinder" on this still have small club syndrome riddling their brains. Seriously....best outcome for me when I check this thread tomorrow morning would be a public "no **** off. he's staying" statement from the club.

It would be one of the biggest single indicators the club could make about it's ultimate ambition. We've got one of the best LCB/LB/LBWs in the country. The only real arguments I've seen here about why we should sell him when he only just signed for us and has 4 years left is that we don't want to be seem as a club that "that gets in players' way" when they want to go to a big boy club.

No. F*ck all that. We're Brighton, we're a top ten club and he's our player. Top Ten. And if we have ANY ambitions higher than that we don't start selling our best player to our ****ing RIVALS (and I include Shitty and Chelski in that definition) for peanuts.

Just no.

Spot on especially the last paragraph.

So Cucu is just having a medical without us actually finalising any kind of deal?
Absolutely loving all this.

He put in a transfer request. No one, least of all Marc Cucurella, have said what his motivation was for putting it in. Could have been to let the club know he was willing to go, that he quite liked the idea of going, that he was desperate to go, that he thought a deal was being done and as a thank you to the club (for taking a chance on him, and for letting him go so early in his contract) he was willing to forego any loyalty payments, it could be that he thought foregoing loyalty payments may make negotiations easier.

It’s all gone a bit batshit hasn’t it? Bizarre move from Cucu & Chelsea if true.

Maybe. Maybe the info is wrong. Maybe in the time since the article was sourced/written the medical has been sanctioned.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Be so funny, if he turns up at Cobham training ground tomorrow morning with his boots and last years kit he bought at sports direct.

Blimey this is becoming a soap opera if true!! Surely it can't be?

I’m actually a bit bored of the whole thing now..

Sensible lad having a medical. I have them quite often. Doesn’t mean I’m going to Chelsea. At least I don’t think so.

Another twitter 10 min ago seems to confirm 55 million +variables deal done.

Are you saying you don’t want to go to Chelsea?

 

[Solid at the back]

How did this guy pass the no dick head policy?

Imagine just turning up at Cobham for a medical without permission from your employers. Disgraceful

Fingers crossed eh? I just want rid of him now tbh.

And, if may I ask, is you missus called Natasha, but looks like Elsie?
