Moving on - who can we realistically target to replace Cucu with that's available within our budget?

"It's not done yet. The paper work is in process and hopefully we can get it finished before noon. He's a fantastic player, young hungry mobile, very intelligent and can play in several positions in our system. If it goes through it opens some options for Levi Colwill to find some more game time elsewhere.”

Double win for Chelsea as stated by Tuchel. They sign one of the worlds best left backs and get us to develop their player.

Win for the Albion
Win for Cucurella
Win for Chelsea

Loss for Man City who still look like winkers.

Lol.

Much as I like Cucu, I'd withhold judgement on him being one of the best LBs in the world until I've seen how he does at Chelsea. GP got the best out of him but let's see how he does under Tuchel.

I seem to remember Cucu being skinned a few times and bringing the player down for a free kick with a hare brained tackle/pull on the edge of the box resulting in us conceding - Saints first springs to mind? I could be wrong of course about that but that's what my old mind remembers.

He was brilliant going forward, sometimes not always all that being run at

With March starting as LWB opens an opportunity for lamptey in a more forward role

Going by the pre season I don’t think GP will play March at LWB.

Yes, they do. But that doesn’t preclude it being a win for the Albion as well as he fills a short term hole in the squad. We didn’t intend to sell Cucu this Summer and any plans for his replacement can’t just be accelerated. Takes time. In this very particular circumstance the loan makes sense.

 

[The Optimist]

A small point, but why do so many media outlets get his age wrong? Assuming Wikipedia is correct he is 24, yet I've seen 25 and 26 years old given in some reports.

£62 million. That has half made my day. To completely make my day just need Ben White to head the winner against the South London Comedy Collective tonight.

It will certainly be interesting to see how he gets on. I can’t pretend that I thought at any time last season that he would be off to a CL club this summer.

Considering there aren’t many left footed WB’s around that are any good as we well know it’s not really a surprise. There was a small pool of replacements that have mostly been snapped up.

We’ve got the last over riding laugh though - £62.5m….

To me that’s well above what I expected, even if he is a fantastic player it’s one season and his end product did flatter to deceive at times.

Yep. Gone.

Well, that's that then. Good work, team.
