Marc Cucurella - World Class Hairdo

[worldinmotion66]

Why can’t we take Cucurella for the season and let Malacia go on loan in January?

 

[Annihilate Now!]

What's Patrice up to these days?

Nevermind Patrice, give me Phil sodding Neville.

 

[Infra-red]

Nevermind Patrice, give me Phil sodding Neville.

Get Buttner in.

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

Great video and reasonable take - only quibble is I don't think he's a UCL calibre player currently. As you point out correctly, his attributes seem to be best suited for a midtable side whilst the comical errors he makes routinely limit his appeal for the bigger teams - in my opinion he's done little to justify being rated as a player who should be playing in the CL on merit.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Get Buttner in.

Bring in Veseli

 

[MUFC OK]

Yeah, we really have about £3m to spend and are trying to recruit a LB and CM - complete and utter joke of a club.

McTominay and Maguire still here when we could have got £60m for them.

I actually hope we are forced to give Alvaro Fernandez his chance.

We did accept the Maguire bid to be fair.

 

[BluesJr]

Pointless even having hope this season.

 

[MUFC OK]

But he's still here and we could have reinvested the money.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

But he's still here and we could have reinvested the money.

Right but he's here largely because of him.

We could have paid him off for the full amount sure (as much as £10-12m apparently?) but then that doesn't exactly set a great precedent for when other players are wanting pay-offs.

 

[Sarni]

He’s here because he didn’t want to go to West Ham.

 

[Alvaro Maestre]

Bring Bebe back.

 

[Craig Ward]

Cucurella was great art Brighton, but struggled with the carnage and chaos of Chelsea.

Not many immediately hit the ground running when moving to a big club.

It's took Bissouma a year to find any form for Spurs for example.

It's completely underwhelming to be linked with Cucurella, and I share the majority of fans in thinking this is all very dire.

Given the fact we have no options there bar Dalot and Fernandez, we are struggling. Not sure when Malacia is back but I'd play him over Cucurella.

Cucurella looks to be a disaster signing, he's had a terrible year, not in good form and we are shocking as a defensive unit - the scrutiny around our form is always amplified and he will not be greeted as a positive signing by the bulk of our fans. Doesn't look to be many positives.

He's not going to be given the time to play himself into form here, we need someone to come in and hit the ground running.

Maguire replacement would have been Todibo/Pavard.

McTominay replacement could have been Amrabat. I'm not expecting we get that key transfer done now as a result.

 

[TSop]

This isnt happening... signing Reguion as a LB

 

[peridigm]

He’s here because he didn’t want to go to West Ham.

To be fair, he's here because Ole is an idiot. One of the craziest transfer sagas of the past decade. Waited until the end and Leicester new we would pay what we did. Giving him huge wages to boot and here we are.

 

[Infra-red]

It's over. It's Reguilon:

At least with this Bloke I had hope he could regain his previous promising form, to now be going for clearly worse alternatives is depressing.

 

[BluesJr]

Absolutely dogshit decision. I hate this regime so much.

I fecking wish it was the muppet from Chelsea now.

 

[croadyman]

Nah, its more because he played in the Carabao Cup yesterday and he will be cup tied and won't be able to play when we want to use him instead in that cup.

Just when you think these last 3 weeks couldn't possibly get any more farcical

 

[Mike Smalling]

It's ReguilON guys!

 

[UnitedSofa]

I assume it was absolutely deliberate on Chelsea's part. Chelsea think he's crap and don't want him back in January. Now that he's played for them, it rules out the possibility of a six-month loan deal (you can't play for three clubs in the same season), so we are forced to take him for the full season or turn to someone much, much worse (Reguilon).

110% it was deliberate on Chelsea’s behalf. Watch him not play a single minute from here on out.

 

[gaffs]

Reguilon video needed, stat!

 

[brian017]

This season is going to be grim. We need better owners and better people in charge

 

[Infra-red]

There will be some good ones circa 2019/20. He actually was a promising player who many on here wanted to sign at one stage. He's been terrible for three years, though and just doesn't seem cut out for Premier League football. I'd much rather have Telles back.

If United were floating the idea of sending him back in January when, I guess Shaw is fit again, then feck that. I’m glad this isn’t happening. That is the most pointless of pointless deals we could make.

 

[Yorke to Cole]

Here, here. Absolutely.

You can always judge a transfer window, by the amount of somersaults your head is doing.

It can also just be part of a cognitive test.

 

[Robertd0803]

Him playing last night still makes no sense.

 

[Plastic Evra]

Maybe the deal was already collapsed by that point.

 

[Idxomer]

Small time move from a shitty club, not surprised.

 

[Robertd0803]

Yeah maybe so. Maybe him going wasnt a big deal either way to Chelsea but its pretty daft regardless.

Not to be an irritating ITK feckwit, but after the initial disagreement on the loan fee (i.e. United offering 2m and Chelsea asking for 7m), United counteroffered with 2m for a 6 month loan, which is actually a smaller financial commitment given Cucurella's salary and that pissed off Chelsea's hierarchy. Playing him yesterday was a way to make the 6 month loan a non-starter.

Chelsea's position has always been that this is a situation where both clubs could mutually benefit, but they haven't pushed Cucurella towards the door once it became clear we were losing Hall. United coming back with a significantly worse second offer than what they opened with seems to have backfired, especially if the fallback option is Reguilon.

Win-win situation really, we don’t have to see Cucurell in our team and you get to marvel at his hair for another season. Everybody happy!

Fair enough.

Good, and I hope we never are put in a position where we have to go to Chelsea asking for a loan deal like this again.

Happy days.
Now you’re stuck with a £60m fraud and we can end Reg’s cheap loan in January.

 

[TheMagicFoolBus]

Yeah fair enough - but is it really any better to do so with Spurs for a player who is almost certainly considerably worse?

Oh I'm not trying to pretend like this is a good outcome for Chelsea - I think Cucurella is awful. Just trying to provide some context for why he played yesterday.
