Cucurella was played as both a LCB & LB, and is as poor defensively as Lenglet. But he'd cost an absolute fortune compared to Lenglet, and I don't want either.

The most amusing part is that after blowing a ridiculous £56 million on Cucurella, the Boehly Consortium poached a couple of key figures from Brighton's recruitment team (Winstanley & Macauley). They're now trying to dump Cucurella & his rumoured £175k per week salary on some other mugs....

Marc Cucurella
We ain’t paying £40M plus wages for him! His not that hood. We need the money for CBs. If we buy him and only one CB then the club are ficked. We have how many left backs at the club?
 
In your opinion. Raya-homegrown-tried and tested. One of the best performing keepers in the EPL (check stats if you don't believe), for 40 million, Vicario 19 million, no EPL experience. Which one is bargain basement to you?
Who gives a fuck? What matters is who is the better player and at this point no one can say Raya is better than Vicario or vice versa.
 
How's he going to get ready if we continuously don't play him because he's... not ready.

This is the season to bed in players like Sarr, Gil, etc. Throw them in and give them the chance to show what they have and get the experience they need.
I agree that he should get a chance, but surely there's a middle ground between letting a player prove himself and having him as a nailed on starter?
 
Tickets prices should be readjusted accordingly if it a a rebuild season
That would make sense, but that's not how ticket prices are set, unfortunately. It appears it's more supply and demand based. In the NBA the Knicks have the most expensive tickets, even though they've done fuck all in the past 25 years.

The thing is that football has slowly moved into the realm of entertainment, much in the same way as American sports. Clubs don't just sell the game on the pitch; they sell the whole experience. E.g. come watch the most prestigious football league in the fanciest football stadium in Europe. It's the price of commercialization, I'm afraid.
