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

[West Upper Seagull]

What if one day uncle Tony wakes up and thinks "you know what, time to take some of what I put in, back"

I’ve no doubt he is already doing that to some extent and on a balanced scale when you consider the income we also receive from the TV money on top of the player sales - and nobody can blame him for that !

Before that, he might consider 'you know what, let's see if we can break even so I don't need to put in tens of millions of additional cash every year'

If only Tony wanted BHA to be the next Man City

No he's not. He's still putting millions in. [MENTION=21215]Dazzer[/MENTION]666 has this right.

There’s a lot of bedwetting given this is all based on a twitter post by one person!

Just so everybody knows, I'm ready and poised to change the thread title to Marc Cucurella *SINGS on a five-year contract* but ****s off to City after one.

I suspect this one will be a slow burner, as we'll want to a) have the replacement lined up, and b) not tip everyone off about how much we've got in the transfer budget to sign that replacement.

Wouldn't be surprised if it gets all done and dusted bar the signatures but then sits on the shelf until late in the window.

 

[The Wizard]

Reality is if Man City want him there isn’t really much we can do, just get the best price we possibly can, the good thing is we know we won’t be low balled, he has a long contract so at least £50m should be his value to us AND more importantly to Man City who need a LB.

Would be gutting to see him leave but realistically this was always going to happen if the club progressed into being a consistent premier league team, our best players will eventually be vultured off for big bucks, not much we can do about it.

Become a big club ourselves.

I am resigned to losing him now, it seems a matter of the fee. Below £50m and I'll be annoyed.

 

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Believe the deal is 10m GBP plus Mendy..


....oops.

 

[WhingForPresident]

£60m + Zinchenko, take it or leave it.

What is it about us finding and keeping a left back in the Amex era?!

Painter - too injured;
Taricco - too retired;
Bridge - Brilliant! - Poached by Reading;
Ward - Great - We acted too slowly - gazumped by Burnley;
Bennett - Fairly good going forward. Useless defender - unable to prevent a cross;
Chicksen - never at the level we were;
Pocognoli - Not signed after decent loan;
Suttner - Not good enough;
Bong - IMHO underrated as a defender. Useless going forward - However, ever popular with the boo boys. Forest have just released him if we fancy him back; (Could we splice him with Joe Bennett? Knowing our luck, we'd probably end up with a lightweight defender who can't cross).
Bernardo - Looked promising at first, but couldn't handle the EPL;
Karbonwik - Doesn't even want to be a left back;
Burn - Also underrated - Bongy's replacement for the boo boys. Off to Newcastle to play his actual position;
March - Always reliable at LWB, but not a left back;
Cucu - so good he's off within a year.

Few of them have lasted more than a season. At the same time on the other side we've had the odd dud but also Calde, Bruno, Lamptey and Veltman!

Alvin Stardust I'm afraid.

Think Solly is a decent LB

We’re getting there.

I think the club would only sell to a top 4 now unless there are exceptional circumstances (Burn going home for example).

 

[Braggfan]

It sure is a darn interesting challenge though. I am confident Potter and his team will rise to it and find a solution and we will retain the mid-third of the table status we got last season (7th-14th).

Yeah Potter is excellent, and I'm sure he would take any rebuilding in his stride. The only nagging worry is that Southgate gets sacked as England manager as I think Potter is definitely the number 1 candidate to take over.

But I guess that's why it's only a nagging feeling, we can't dwell on those thoughts for too long, we have to enjoy things while the club is on the up.
