Bob Singleton Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Starting to see reports this evening (Mirror, Daily Mail, Sun, Daily Star) that Cucurella's home was burgled shortly after he, his partner and their kids moved in the summer. We've heard Potter drop hints that he's had to deal with "family issues" (as well as health issues) since joining. So that's him, Sterling and James. 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 In the fashion of a former LFC chairman, people in LFC colours and scouse accents have been seen in the vicinity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xceleryx Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Although vague, this suggests Cucurella may have had more going on behind the scenes last season that what we've been privy towards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he didnt he still deserves another season to prove himself. I remember the abuse Steve Clarke got and he turned out to be one of our best ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point , he got hammered at the time and he turned out great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as if he was alone when it came to performing poorly last season either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
east lower Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 As a strong criticiser of this fella, I think it's also proper and correct to say that he's done pretty well thus far this season and he's offering at least part competence and alot of effort - Fair play to the bloke and I hope he gets back to the form that made us want to buy him in the first place. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we're seeing at the moment is what we were all seeing whilst he was at Brighton. He was really raising eyebrows, including during a game I recall at SB. I feared that we'd bought a dud but it was widely reported that he had issues outside of football. It didn't help that we were playing with a skeleton squad which made everyone look bad.  Individually players are playing better as better players are coming back from injury.  I know people piss and moan on here about our squad but I genuinely believe that we have a squad that will be the envy of almost every side in the PL. Maybe all of them eventually. The future is bright.   3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A billion quid ago we had a squad that was teh envy of many. So much so that City, Arsenal (2), Newcastle, RM, Barca, AM, and several top italian clubs have been stealing them.

Chelsea_Matt Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 I’ve been very critical, because I felt he was terrible BUT Cucurella is looking more and more like a £60m player. Credit where it’s due, and I’m delighted. Much as I love Chilly, I haven’t noticed a clamour for his quick return. If Cucurella keeps this up and Chilly returns we’ll have two great options at LB, and Colwill can stay at CB where imo he belongs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He openly admits himself that he was dogshit last season. Very good for the rest of his career though. Hopefully that was a blip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguelito07 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 Would be surprised if he started ahead of Colwill on Sunday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwmh Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 11 minutes ago, Ham said: He openly admits himself that he was dogshit last season.  Yeah - but I was thinking the stats comparison was for the 5 games he has played in this season. I'm sure Colwill has made more tackles for example in the 11 games Colwilll has started but perhaps not in the specific 5 that Cucurella started. Either that or it is a comparison on tacklers per 90*.  *I'm wondering how the stats guys are going to handle the new timings. Once upon a time you came on on 80' and were presumed to have played just 10 mins. It could be 25mins now. If it were just me I'd just presume each half actually lasts 50 mins and calculate tackles/goals per 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
