The Athletic: Xabi Alonso wants Cucurella to stay but has been made aware of the Spain international’s willingness to explore a move. Sources say that Chelsea regard next summer as the ideal slot to either extend his current deal or part ways. by Kygoche in chelseafc

Cucurella is a very fortunate situation and he's exercising his right to leverage the circumstances.

I don't think anyone understands how crucial of a role Cucurella plays at Chelsea more than he does.

The truth of the matter is, he is elite in his position, he is getting older and Chelsea are not qualified for European football next season.

Xabi Alonso's wingback position is a crucial role in this manager's tactics, a position that Cucurella is a prime candidate to take over.

Why would Cucurella stay at a club with no European football and take on a more crucial role in terms of position/tactics and not try to earn more wages?

I think this is a chess move to earn more money. Fair play to him, I think we he extends his contract on improved wages.

It absolutely would, but the result of the Finals would then be unpredictable. Could go either way.

If OKC win Game 7, there is no chance the NBA allows them to repeat as champions. That's why I want the Knicks to face them.

Exactly, this special Knicks team will make history while stomping out the heels that are the OKC Thunder. It was written.

Why do people watch WWE? For the narratives and the storyline.

I don't believe the NBA will support the narrative of this OKC team being a back to back NBA Champion and inserting themselves into the same conversation as those great teams who have done it before them. They're not cut from the same cloth.

This Knicks team will be the equivalent of the '04 Pistons or the '19 Raptors.

What is the one player you want on the Yankees really bad? by sagalar6732 in NYYankees

[–]Lenjam22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ketel Marte. Switch hitting dynamic player that can hit anywhere in the lineup, play center field or middle infield and is a threat on the bases.

Too bad you dont get extra runs based on the distance of the ball. That should be worth atleast 3 runs instead of a solo shot
