Bison Posted Saturday at 10:13 Share Posted Saturday at 10:13 27 minutes ago, martin1905 said: Cucurella was the best left back in the league the year we signed him, was very good most of last season, absolutely brilliant at the back end and currently the best left back at the Euros. I'm quite happy he can't be moved on and if we lose one or two prospects then so be it, we have one of the best around which is far more important than worrying about the odd kid who may or may not turn out to be anything at all. To each their own. I'm not a Cucurella fan. In other news: Gordon would be a massive upgrade for our left hand side. Give them money plus Mudryk to make it happen.

Ham Posted Saturday at 10:40 Share Posted Saturday at 10:40 (edited) 1 hour ago, Bison said: Cucurella and Chilwell have 4 years and 3 years left on their deals. They are on wages nobody else in their right mind would pay them. We're going to lose at least another one or two decent LB prospects because those two can't be moved on. Why would we want to move on the best left back at the Euros? Edited Saturday at 10:43 by Ham Just noticed Martin has already said this 🙈 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m very happy to be proved wrong on Cucurella. I do think he’s a bit suspect positionally, but he has 💯 improved imo. Chilly is Chilly. Love him to bits - just wish he wasn’t broken half the time! 🥰💀👀 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume he won't feature in the first team. Apparently the best talent in Villa's academy, and was also the the best talent at Derby when Villa signed him originally. Presumably there is talent and upside, whether that translates to being good enough for here or not remains to be seen. Likely ends up developing over the next couple years before being sold. We'll see though I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one thing you can't fault him on is the effort he puts in...just wonder if outside issues contributed to his less than impressive start at Chelsea? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelsea_Matt Posted Saturday at 15:27 Share Posted Saturday at 15:27 Apropos of nothing and apologies mods, but has anyone else just not got into Euro? It‘s just passed me by this year. I’ve seen a few snippets and it was dreadful. Saw another great Southgate meme today: it said, Gareth Southgate takes a lateral flow test every time he leaves the house 🤣🤣🤣🤣💀🩶 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Moon Posted Saturday at 15:43 Share Posted Saturday at 15:43 Agreed, @Chelsea_Matt, I simply can't get up the enthusiasm for it. Frankly, I'd prefer Southgate take a hike - I've never been so bored by an England performance since he took the helm / administered the mogadon / whatever he does - Steve Holland would do well to distance himself from this failure of a manager. Visiting family in Poland last week, dragged the missus to a Krakow pub and endured a frosty silence all the way back to our hotel ("we could have been going on a romantic cruise down the Vistula, sipping free plonk as the sun sets ... "). Back home now, and off to friends tomorrow to be collectively bored shitless, but I'm praying that they leave the telly on for the Spain/Georgia match - at least there'll be a bit of passion in it. Always assuming I'm still sober enough to enjoy it. Might go to the village pub for the Germany / Denmark match this evening, but that's more because my son's home and I fancy a pint .... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's been pretty great so far, the only really bad games have been the ones involving England. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Kelly Posted Saturday at 19:41 Share Posted Saturday at 19:41 9 hours ago, thevelourfog said: Well, the accounting need is ours and that is on us, but I do agree the PL is causing a big problem. We can't crow about a £37m (or whatever the reporting is) fee for Maatsen, a player I agree was never likely to contribute that much here, when getting that fee was entirely contingent on giving £19m of it back straight away. I've said it before, but where is that £19m coming from? We don't just have it sat in the bank, so what is it secured against? It's a dangerous way to do business, even the football considerations aside. Leicester also need to sell as do Newcastle who in a hilarious turn of events have sold a 19 year old winger who've I've never heard of to Brighton for £33m! It's not just us.

No I was just sharing the story with you as you commented previously and thought the fact that Newcastle were getting an astronomical sum for a nobody and now don't need to sell Gordon to Liverpool after all was proof that the system is flawed and that everyone who needs to be is gaming it . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
