OrangeKhrush 298 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 https://talksport.com/football/1471598/newcastle-chelsea-transfer-marc-cucurella/ I am not sure about this but it may be worth a shot offering him a way out the firepit. 30m is one hell of a knock down.

Administrator Stan 18,403 Posted June 19, 2023 Administrator Share Posted June 19, 2023 Chelsea seems to be the death of players that have potential or do well at 'lesser' clubs and then move there for big fees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,267 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 Think this is dependent on what the club do with Hall/Maatsen. At 30m I doubt the club will sell and take that much of a hit on FFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something about 110m needed by 30 June or they are a bit fucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard something about 110m needed by 30 June or they are a bit fucked. It depends on how much validity this June 30th deadline is. I think the club have weighed the risks to determine that copping a sanction now is better than copping one later. The real pain in UEFA's FFP comes in the 2025-26 season, where club spending will be hard capped to 70% of total revenue. So, maybe we've decided to go for it now while spending is still soft capped, drum up commercial support and remain competitive when the hard caps come into play. 1. Either the club stick to their poker game in the belief United and Arsenal will cave and pay closer to the clubs asking price for Mount + Havertz (on top of Kovacic to City and Saudi Clubs getting our Muslim players.) to accommodate FFP. 2. June 30th is a soft deadline and the club is laxed about getting deals done. 3. Club weighed the risks and will take a sanction hit now vs in 2026 where regulations will worsen.

I think in Brighton's compact system he does well. He's a good player if you want someone who is good at retaining the ball and can play out from the back. As a defender though he is pretty poor. Flat footed all the time. Think United will be better off staying away but hey they spent 60m on Mount and gave him a 300kpw deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
