Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Isn’t cucurella too defensive? Only works as wb in a lopsided system like brightons. his only assist ever in PL was against us ofc obv too short and weak for lcb not completely against buying him but 50m is too much.

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Excl: not just Cucurella, Chelsea had a direct meeting with RB Leipzig on Sunday to discuss swap deal ideas. Boehly’s ready to let Timo Werner leave on loan. 🚨🔵 #CFC Chelsea asked again for Gvardiol, top of the list alongside Wes Fofana - Leipzig insist they want to keep him.

MoroccanBlue 5,383 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Apparently close to 20m off Leciester's valuation on Fofana. Talks ongoing this week. - Jacob Steinberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,941 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 What's annoying is that we were looking at Cucurella before he went to Brighton. We never get ahead do we. bigbluewillie, Last Sicarius, turgi and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually prefer us looking at the XA and chances created metrics anyway but even more so in this case. Brighton make us look ice cold in the final 3rd. Anyone got Cucurella's stats on that regard?

Blues Forever 1,232 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just now, Stats said: Now Barcelona will come in and hijack the move. Watch this space… Cucurella was their former youth player, even if Barca won't hijack now they could come back in the future. Won't be too hard to use their usual tactic (tapping-up).

Assists as a stat is irrelevant in most cases. Although the Assist gets you the goal it's not the whole picture more often than not the Assist to the Assist is far more crucial than the actual Assist.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 One of my favourite players to watch last season Cucurella, work rate is insane, covers so much ground and is very good on the ball. Massively impressed if we get this done. bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xPetrCechx 13,571 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 🚨🚨| FC Barcelona are interested in resigning Marc Cucurella; talks have begun with him in recent weeks & the club wants to be in the pole position, as Xavi wants a top LB this summer. @fansjavimiguel [🥇] 😶 guddy69 and bigbluewillie 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strike 7,492 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Cucurella signing suggests to me Tuchel is not planning to switch to 4 at the back anytime soon. Hope Colwill the other way is only a loan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
