Optimistic Nut Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Cucarella for £25-30m would definitely be worth a shot imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

Tough one, probably Cucarella because of Tierney's fitness. But really only the medical staff would know. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
