    I always liked Cucurella even from his Getafe days. Nice transfer I like it.

    Mou won't mind going the rude way with deadweights. Ceballos likely won't be registered if he refuses to leave.

    Good signing ,very underated player.Nuno Mendes is the only left back who is clearly better imo.....Cucurela could be number 2 on his day in the world .

    Carreras played as a left CB few times last season and he wasnt that bad ,he can cover that positon.

    Now go for midfielders,still no to Enzo .

    Madrid spent less on Cucu, Konate, Silva and Dumfries than Barca did on Gordon.

    Don Perez ain't playin around. He's going after the next Barca transfer target. And the next. And the next.

    Nah. Fran has been poor for 3 seasons. One good half against City won't fool me.

    I never liked that shitbag but he is ours now and will team with Vini to make the most hated combo in recent playing history.

    Definitely a Mourinho style signing. Same as Dumfries.

    The difference between who we're signing comparing Xabi to Mourinho is significant

    The fit on the pitch is obvious although I've always hated the player. Now I have to learn to love him. Will be a tough adjustment. But objectively one of the best LBs in the world. More importantly, another important addition to the dressing room.

    The whole team has been poor for the last 2 seasons though. I think Fran has more work in him and will run until blue in the face. Carreras has shown he can be lazy in getting back and not really that good going forward either.

    I think I might be missing something. Why is he so hated? I remember people cringed at his song in the Euros (I found it funny) but what else?

    Mou plan are clear.. never was a huge fan of Cucurella, however he is decent. Bus the same question - who is leaving?

    Fran wanted to leave in January. He won't stay around without playing ala Ceballos etc.

    Cucurella and Carreras will be Mourinho's LBs per Satan's scribe.

    Fran Garcia can be sold, he'll want to leave anyway. Mendy should retire IMO. That opens up a slot for a CB. We can then get rid of the deadbeats.

    I still see a big name leaving and I think it will be good for the dressing room.

    Enzo is a typical Mou player as well.

    Schlotterbeck for 55 ME is a good market opportunity. He might not be around for next summer. Hope we get him too.

    Cucurella is an "employee" type of player rather than a superstar, much like Dumfries and Bernardo. Without Mourinho, these would be labeled as players that "don't convince the club".

    The hard part will be selling Ceballos, Asencio, Camavinga but like @Saeta Rubia said, Jose has his ways..
