So it appears Cucurella is very happy at the club and has no intention on leaving?

How many pigs were flying at the time, RPD?

There's honestly just not a market. Madrid spent £50m or so on Carreras last year, Barca needs a striker more than a LB, and I doubt they'll have money left over, and I just don't see Atletico paying £50m+ for him.

City don't need a LB, neither PSG. Not sure Bayern do either. He may be one of the best LB's in the PL, but most of the major clubs either don't need a LB or LB is not a £50m priority for them.

I agree with you, Fuser. Cucu was very clear in his interview that his family are settled in London, and he is settled at the club. He didn't fully rule out a move back to his homeland one day, but the interview was very clear. I expect him to stay.

Supposedly deal agreed with Real Madrid.

I was also told this morning that Chelsea are close to agreeing terms for the sale of Enzo.

We have received a bid that is not quite at our valuation, but a deal is expected.

Project sounds like it's going well... Vision 2030 anyone???

Looks like those flying pigs have landed.

As I said at the time, I wouldn't have played Cucarella or Enzo at the end of last season.

Players come and go in every team, and I only want players who want to play for my club, if not, jog on.

I haven't got a clue about pigs or visions. Just thanks and goodbyes!!

The club don't have a clue about a vision either, Tom.

Bill, as I say, I haven't got a clue about "vision" and I have never had the privilege to see our club's business plan.

My team selection, player signings, manager selection and SD selection, I'm sure, would be different from most other fans.

So, the chances of the owners making me happy are very close to zero.

I should also add that, in my opinion, the CST wanting our owners "out" without knowing the alternative isn't a good plan, but whatever.

Tom,

It does not matter who wants the owners out, it can't happen for a minimum of 6 years as per the deal with Roman.

Bill, maybe you should send an email to the CST because they clearly don't know about it.

I thought it was pretty clear that Cucurella and Enzo would be leaving - fine as long as we bring in suitable replacements. I wouldn't want Hall back; he is okay, but not top class.

Now that we look like losing two top-class players, let's start getting rid of the players who just aren't good enough: probably about 10, but it's unlikely that we will be able to unload all of them.

Agreed, Jimbo. CFC are likely to remain in a mid-table mediocrity position if not, and clubs with Champions League football will be strengthening further. Our one big advantage, perhaps next season, is having fewer fixtures and often a whole week to prepare against those clubs with European football, who will be almost half of the EPL.
