Seems like we are being linked to half of the Chelsea squad on twitter. Just feels like a stab in the dark by random reporters figuring Chelsea have surplus players, and want to buy some players.

 

It was the same last transfer window. RLC and Gallagher constantly linked.

Always hard to judge defensive ability in dysfunctional units. Defending is much more about the system. Would definitely give Cucurella a chance if he came in.

Defending 1v1 is easy to judge. A bad as Chelsea were - Cucurella was often THE weakest link. 
 

Chelsea defensive stats weren’t that bad. Especially under Potter. But Cucu stank.

Cucarella for £25-30m would definitely be worth a shot imo. 

Stats wise he was the best PL attacking fullback in 21/22 season and second best defensively. He also played LCB at Brighton and won a motm playing there in the CL last year. He had a horror season but I wouldn't put it past Howe and team to turn him back around.

 

Probably a better LB for 30/25m but there is likely still a player in there to be salvaged with a fresh start.

He’s awful defensively.  Pass. 

Was he awful defensively at Brighton?

 

Everyone knew Chelsea had ridiculously overpaid for him, but I think if they’d paid around the £30m mark, most would have thought it a good signing.

Seems people don’t understand that Cucurella is on £175k a week.

 

End of our interest.

 

 

Well then he never leaves Chelsea because no other club will pay it

Cucurella would give us so much going forward on the left side but he is very average defensively.

Dont think hes that good going forward? Cant remember an assist or a goal. Quite slow also. We already lack speed at the back.

Are we just ignoring his time at Brighton now then?

I don’t know but they often played a back 5 and Potter is good at organising a defence.

Who would you pick if it was Tierney for £30m or Cucarella for £30m?

Tierney.

No he's not, he cause havoc against us when he played for brighton.

Wasnt that great. Murphy terrorised him when they met at St James.

Wasn’t he Brighton’s player of the year the season before last?

Good info. I never paid attention to him at Brighton. But at Chelsea he’s been one of the very worst in a bad team.
