Baffling that we sell one of our better players, instead of all the dead weight we have.
Whats even more baffling is the price we sold him for...£50m?! £50m? Guy is one of the best fullbacks in Europe, yes he wasnt always immense for us, but 75% of the time he was one of our better players.
Maybe if he had had 12-18 months left on his contract, but no, guy has 3 years left on his contract, and we sell him for £47m plus add ons?! WTF!!!
Unless we are signing Nico O'Reilly on the sly, this is an insane move.
Should be £10m more AT LEAST on his selling price.
We sign him as a nobody from Brighton for £60m, improve him, win silverware with im, and sell him at his peak to REAL MADRID for LESS MONEY??!!?!
Dont get me wrong, Cuckoo isnt exactly a world beater, and I dont think he in the same league as Ashley Cole, or even Ferreira or Petrescu....but ffs....WTF is this? I know we paid an inflated fee for him, but to sell him to Real Madrid and not AT LEAST get our money back is insane....Well done Blueco....good business.....****ing clowns
