    Never liked cucurella. Gonna need some time for that to change. He’s a good player but im shocked we spent big on LB two summers in a row. Very strange.

    It’s gonna be weird seeing him in our shirt.

    Another CB is now needed as I don’t count on Raul at all. Should be sold.

    If Carreras moves the other way we'll be on the bad end of that deal.

    Fran Garcia and Mendy are non-factors.

    Yup. Gotta get Schlotterbeck for 55 ME clause.

    There is some kind of clause in there which requires him to play x amount of games which he clearly won't make.

    I think it was Cortagana that explained if you talk to Mendy's people, they say he has 2 years left but if you talk to Madrid personnel, they say he has 1 year left. So the suspicion is that whatever clause Mendy has in his contract for that extra year, it will not be achieved.

    True about Cucurella specifically, but the rumors about signing a LB or LB/CB hybrid were consistent, even though it was not a clear need.

    My least favorite signing RM have ever done while I’ve been a fan. Curcurella, I don’t know where I’ll get the strength to support this guy

    He used to always play well against RM along with theatrics at Getafe. I thought Barca would sign him back from Getafe and he would become Jordi Alba 2.0 there in every sense. :D

    As far as I recall he was always a good pro. This aspect of our dressing room needs work so hopefully he’ll be a positive additon.

    I don’t like the theatrics that come with the player, but he’s clearly the best LB we have now at the team - by far.

    More of an admission that Mourinho would be useless with young players that might need actual coaching and tactical instructions.

    There’s no long term plan here or even guardrails in case project Mou goes as should be expected instead of as hoped and prayed for - break the bank to sign bunch of 30y/o veterans and if they doesn’t work do it all over again until the club finally can go back to the glory days of buying titles which never actually materialized.

    no, no Mourinho will win the sextuple and then Take over florentinos job in 2030. Why do You think Mou is even back? Clearly gunning for that presidency. And Cucurella is set to win the First ever Balón de Or given to a Spanish LB. Flo allready knows this will happen so he wants another Balón de Or player at the club. Also, I don’t know if you know, but konate and dumbfries are cousins of Mou so they will sit in the board of directos when their time as players is up.


    It’s all going exactly according to plan nobody clued you in though.

    ahhhh I feel better now.

    Did anybody bother to tell him that’s it’s not up the him or even the club for that matter if the players decide they like having the best seats in the stadium.


    Already the slashing and burning, the you have to destroy things and let suckers do the building.

    That's a strange one. Is that instead of Pepe then?

    Mendy will just tell JM to speak with his doctor, lol. Mendy is a complete non factor, he'll see out his contract doing rehab the next few years.

    Give me Enzo and Schlotterbeck. PSG and Arsenal have enormous depth. Why not RM. :D And PSG are in one horse race league playing their starters in less than 15 league games to keep them fresh for CL.

    I think I'm going to puke :sick:

    God damn Marc Cucurella in my team is depressing as hell. I don't think there's 5 players in the world I dislike more than this guy.

    This will be a hard pill to swallow.

    In: Bastoni .....Fran and Asencio sale

    In: CM ......Cama and Ceballos sale

    In: Vlahovic ......Gonzalo sale with buyback

    I don't think Enzo is worth +100m ....Hoping we go for someone else due to the price.

    If we sell Vini for good money, then go for a top attacker.

    We signed regular starters from City, Liverpool, Inter and Chelsea. I think Konate, Bernardo and Cucurella will be starters as things stand with the current squad.

    Trent is world class at what he does offensively so I expect him to start ahead on Dumfries.
