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

[Machi]

According to Fabrizio Romano, Roma offered over 12£M to Palmeiras for Matias Viña as new left back.

Hopefully that means Cucurella to Brighton is sealed.

Oh no, upper case used.

Following on from his article a couple of days ago in which Orlandi was quoted as saying Cucurella would be perfect for us, Brian Owen has retweeted Spain's line up for their Olympic fixture today.

Despite playing left back, his positioning looks very similar to a Potter wing back. As I speak, he is level with 3 others across the field as the furthest forward. Almost always left midfield position or higher when Spain have the ball at the back. Looks comfortable on the ball and loves a surge forward. Nothing spectacular in the 10 minutes or so I have been watching but you can see why we are interested.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Definitely got an engine on him. He was one of two back in the box when an attack broke down but was overlapping the man with the ball on a counter attack a few seconds later.

I think we will sell as many wigs as shirts.

Thanks for the heads-up. Will have a quick watch. Surprised Spain didn't take Sanchez to this, after Unai Simon played through the Euros. Still, Simon is only 4 months older than Sanchez, and I don't think either of them counts as an under 23, so they'd both be one of the three over-age players allowed.

When the games were delayed for a year FIFA decided to maintain the restriction of players born on or after 1 January 1997, rather than change it to 1998. It means no player that would have qualified had the tournament been played in 2020 as scheduled would miss out because they were too old due to the delay. Both Sanchez and Simon would have been considered U23s if picked for the Olympics.

Not sure if Sanchez was considered, even if he was there is every chance we would have stopped his call up as clubs are not bound to release players for the Olympics like they are other international competitions. I believe we refused to allow South Africa to take Percy Tau as an overage player.

Thanks for that. All makes sense - info appreciated.

Having now had the chance to see this guy play, I really hope we sign him.

Quick, decent touch, bags of energy and that distinctive hair style, he would be an instant cult hero.

Saw that, but also want to know if that quotes true / where it has come from…

Edit - looks like some live conference with Torres.

Can’t remember how to imbed tweets sorry [MENTION=600]Bry Nylon[/MENTION] may help me

But this sounds like barring any change of heart he wants to come to us and they’re resigned to him leaving…

“Ángel Torres on Cucurella @GetafeCF
"The truth is that we have had several offers, the strongest from an English team that insists (Brighton); they had offered him a good contract, he was willing. When he returns we will see. Better to keep the base and reinforce 2-3 positions"

That plus the friendly makes it sound like we’ve got him.

 

[Live by the sea]

With a little research it appears he’s on just over £1m a year currently so would probably almost double his salary if he came to Brighton for around £15m

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He’s playing well for Spain, atm.
I hope we can get this one over the line.
