Shame we’re aren’t more like Brighton
Baldist.Quick someone find more tenuous links between Cucu la praline and our coach.
Same hair conditioner supplier ?

He played in a back 4 for about half the season at Brighton the season before last, they switched between a back 3 and 4 pretty regularly. He also played LB in a 4 a few times last season at Chelsea, so he has played there, and at Brighton at least he played there well. Just try and forget last season.Out of the options mentioned I think this is the best move. The concern is he's not played in a back 4 while in the PL and quite frankly he was terrible last season for Chelsea.

They have slabhead is going nowhere as we will not pay the amount of money he wants to leave. Scott T I think it was either him or Fred and again people might not pay the price we seem to value him at. VDB I have not got a clue what is going on there.Sigh. Was hoping we'd see movement on VDB, mct and/or slabhead today. The fact that none of them have progressed looks like Shaws replacement is it.

Personal terms might encompass more things than just wages, perhaps. Or it is just a way to say United made sure he wouldn't reject the loan or that EtH gave him the broad lines of the tactical project he'll be part of.I thought this was a loan? Why would we be negotiating with him regarding the contract that Chelsea have to pay him? Surely we’d negotiate the amount with Chelsea- which I suspect will be 100%
Just Romano trying to add more to the story when he probably knows nothing.I thought this was a loan? Why would we be negotiating with him regarding the contract that Chelsea have to pay him? Surely we’d negotiate the amount with Chelsea- which I suspect will be 100%
Well Cucurella is on more than Luke Shaw a week, maybe Chelsea are unwilling to subsidize the wages and we don't want to give him £175k a week.I thought this was a loan? Why would we be negotiating with him regarding the contract that Chelsea have to pay him? Surely we’d negotiate the amount with Chelsea- which I suspect will be 100%
For a player they've zero interest in giving game time to as well.Add another 7m and we got Malacia on a permanent transfer. 7m for a season loan is way too high. Chelsea really trying to milk us for every penny.
Basically the equivalent of signing a 35m player on a five-year contract, but without the possibility of resale value. Not a fan of those terms.Tweet

Not absolving them of blame but our transfer spending and recruitment has been horseshit for years, Woodward, Murtough and Co are just as much to blame.The Glazers have brought us to our knees financially. I will be very worried for the club's future if we aren't sold soon.
As expected. I'd have wanted us to do the same if a top four rival desperately needed an emergency loan signing.Add another 7m and we got Malacia on a permanent transfer. 7m for a season loan is way too high. Chelsea really trying to milk us for every penny.
Shaw is reportedly out until December. Not early Dec eitherHow bad is this Shaw injury??
Malacia isn't far off fitness, is this loan essential.
Surely of positions are more important. I can only make logic of it if Maguire is going and ETH intends to use Shaw more a CB to allow the occasional rest for Martinez.
We have paid them handsomely for Mount, they should give us a discount here.As expected. I'd have wanted us to do the same if a top four rival desperately needed an emergency loan signing.
Yeah but who hired them and kept them in their jobs for that long?Not absolving them of blame but our transfer spending and recruitment has been horseshit for years, Woodward, Murtough and Co are just as much to blame.
I cant believe this needs pointing outYeah but who hired them and kept them in their jobs for that long?
Woodward and Arnold have kept Murtough and Co around.Yeah but who hired them and kept them in their jobs for that long?
Durrrr what’s a Glazer?!!I cant believe this needs pointing out
Its the glazers jobs for the boys approach that ensures we remain mediocre
Why would you wanna pay 35m on another McT? would be mentalWe have been offered Hojbjerg? this mean we could negotiate a good fee. Reading earlier someone mentioned £35 million?Tweet

£35m would be a terrible fee of Hojbjerg. Not worth more than £20m max.We have been offered Hojbjerg? this mean we could negotiate a good fee. Reading earlier someone mentioned £35 million?
Beggars can't be choosers. Glazernomics.Why are we intent on strengthening our champions league rivals by bidding for their rejects, if they ain't good enough for spurs and Chelsea why would we want them?
Is it really that bad a deal when you think about it?7m for one season!
Weve been rode again
considering nothing is agreed….. we haven’t.7m for one season!
Weve been rode again
Would anyone pay us £7m to loan Maguire or Mctominay for a season?Is it really that bad a deal when you think about it?
Look at out last 10 years of outlays, what we've got from the player and then how much we recouped.
7m for a season is probably actually good value.
As long as he's not awful obviously.
Watched almost every Chelsea game last year and everytime he played he did something stupid or showed that he can't handle playing for a top club. I saw us linked to Tagliafico as well in the Transfer Tweets, would prefer him 10/10 times. A fighter with a good mentality instead of a shakey player like Cucurella. If I were to choose about loaning him for 7m or not get a left back at all I'd choose the latter. People on here really telling themselves they're getting the Brighton version when in reality they'll be coming for his head after watching him in action for 30mins in our shirt.Why? What amazing left back are we getting on loan at the last minute? Cucurella is a much better option than I expected in this situation.
