As predicted, it looks like Cucarella and Enzo will both be leaving in this window.
As I’ve said before, I wouldn’t have played them again after they both indicated, during the season, they wanted to leave.
When they go, it’s thanks for everything and goodbye as far as I’m concerned.

Tom, I don't know who will leave, but if they want to go, then so be it. Plenty of fish in the sea.
01 Jun 2026 17:11:03
Has that been confirmed, Tom?
01 Jun 2026 17:22:17
Greenaway, I am not sure a transfer can be confirmed until contracts have been signed, but given both players indicated before the season had ended that they are open to leaving, it's now hardly surprising that most highly regarded journalists are saying they are leaving.
Along with others on this site, I was pretty sure they both wanted to move on.
As mentioned, thanks and goodbye to both.

Who have they agreed to sign, Tom? I have not seen anything other than rumours, and those rumours also include Palmer to Man Utd, Neto to Liverpool or Barcelona, Joao Pedro to Barcelona. All stories, but nothing stronger at present.

Tom,
They will only go if their valuations are met.
Cucurella has a chance, but it's going to be hard for Ef.

Greenaway, the difference is the other players you mention didn't say during the season they would consider leaving. I said, in my end-of-season review, that I believe they are going, and it now looks more certain.
Bill, the price we get will depend on need and on how many clubs want the player. The more, the merrier, would be good for the club's finances. I think we will get more for both players than some fans believe.

Bill, you are 100% correct. Tom, I take a lot of what is said with a pinch of salt, but Palmer, when asked on live TV if not qualifying for the Champions League would make a difference to him staying, made it perfectly clear it would.
So add him to your list as well. At the end of the day, though, if Alonso wants them to stay and sells his ideas to them, I think you may be surprised by just who stays and who goes.
01 Jun 2026 18:09:42
Greenaway, I will always be surprised by who we sell and who we sign, and generally I'm disappointed.
I missed the Palmer comment, but if he wants to go, then also goodbye.

Some project this is...
02 Jun 2026 08:28:37
How long is a project, and when does it not become a project, and is more of a best practice?

Another great contribution to the dialogue on this page Kaz.
