According to physioroom he should be back after the break and ETH said it's just a matter of weeks.
Marc Cucurella - World Class Hairdo
- Thread starter P-Ro
- Start date
Loan with offer to buy please. We loan from Chelsea because they are the ones who bought everyone else already.

Could do a lot worse than Cucurella on a loan.
Yeah, that’s the idea. Whenever there is no competition, Shaw regresses.
If they got him playing to his previous levels then he'd see off Chilwell, who I think is overrated by Chelsea supporters.
Why are we so desperate for a Lb? Aren’t our two main options back in 2 months with Dalot capable of playing there? Would have thought another stormer or midfielder was the priority.
The wording from Romano makes me think this is very unlikely. It looks like we have simply put out feelers to see what it would take and considering what they paid for him last year I can’t believe Chelsea will let him go without a pretty significant loan fee and his wages covered. Would far rather we stick it out with Dalot and keep Fernandez at least until January.
We probably won't sign anyone else. There's just more press about a left back today because Shaw's injury is so recent.
He'd be a much better buy from Chelsea than Mount, Matic or Mata. He isn't exceptional, but fairly decent for the correct price range (~30 million). Chelsea need to balance their books, so wouldn't mind offloading him, even if that means a significant loss. A loan deal is even better for us in the long term.
Reguillon? He's muck.
I was talking about this ratty looking fecker from Sevilla.
That’s Marcos Acuna. I hate the sight of him too.
Wish we took punt on some unknown players rather than overpaid garbage, especially for back up positions.
It really is astonishing. He has been a super flop at Chelsea. This club's transfers are infuriating. Hopefully just rumours.
Agreed. Or even give Alvaro a shot.
I predicted he'd be on loan back to Brighton by now, not us. I can see why we'd be happy to have him as cover, but why would Chelsea want to help us with our weak point
Why not play Fernandez?
Clearly don’t like him.
Because we are not considered a threat or becauae of £££
They might be desperate to get players out of their bloated squad.
Letting you have a backup left back is less important to Chelsea than whatever money a loan would bring in.
I’d love a stormer in our team. There’s hardly a breeze out there.
You don't see a problem with us only having 2 fit experienced fullbacks ?
Alvaro Fernandez should be sold if this happens. If he can't get a chance now, he has no future here. He's been out on loans already. Reguilon and Cucurella don't excite me at all.
He's not that good.
I agree we need a stormer that can go in our dressing room and sort out these lazy feckwits.
The guy couldn't deal with the high expectations at Chelsea yet he'll do well for us ?
Exactly. Although Chelsea are/were a mess, he looked out of his depth and overwhelmed.
So in a few weeks time we would have 3 first team left backs, Dalot who can do a decent enough job there, and a youth team left back. It’s pretty much one of our best stocked positions.
Agree with that.
Its not about Dalot being able to play in that position, its about what happens when either one AWB or Dalot is injured.
It feels unnecessary to be pissing around chasing back up LBs when there are already other positions in the starting eleven that are well short of the standards. Any money we've got knocking around should go towards fixing the midfield as a matter of priority or failing that, another striker.
Dalot and Fernandez should be fine as cover until Shaw and Malacia are back.

He'll fit right in then.
Just play Dalot or recall Williams, or play Malacia with one leg. Anything but cucurella.
That’s football. It’s extremely unlikely you have three first team full backs injured at the same time, if it happens you suck it up and play a kid or someone out of position. Even Martinez can cover at left back.
I doubt any squads have three first team left backs in their squad.
Why? When it can help us get an extra point or two and finish above you rather than below? Think the prize money will be more than a few hundred thousand for a loan
I hope not.
He was absolutely abysmal last season.
He was absolutely abysmal last season.
A loan fee plus wages saved would add up to multiple millions.
He was absolutely fecking horrendous every time I watched Chelsea last season.
I know everyone was bad for them but he was by far the worst every game, he was laughably bad.
He'd be an awful signing.

I just don’t see the desperate need to bring one in, even with the injuries, with our other glaring issues.
Not sure how much he'd end up costing, but I'd rather take a punt on Valentín Barco. He looks like he'll do really well in the Premier League.
Depends if its the Brighton or Chelsea one? Not sure why they'd loan him to us anyway?
