Joao Cancelo

[jackmarczuk]

Very few clubs outside of England will spend circa £20m on a right back.

+ We dont really want to sell him - he wants to play more which is understandable. So we have our price and then we will see. As I said, I think we are all done.

But Danilo had proved that he isn't a real competitor for Walker and everybody knows that he needs competition like no other in the team.

Would be a huge shame if we missed out on Cancelo

Would it?

Imo yes mate. Completely different to Danilo and much better attacking fullback than walker? Would at least make Kyle step up as pep seems to not use Danilo unless it’s a lower team cup game and a last 5 minutes sub.

I think our success more often lies more on breaking down teams rather than in defending against teams. So imo having a better attacking RB than Walker is a big deal.

So for me of our remaining priorities RB is way ahead of a new CB.

If Pep really thinks his the best RB option then I’d buy him now regardless of Danilo’s situation or net cost (within reason).

That doesn't alter what I said. Pep signed him and likes him - the motive for this move is the player wanting to play. We can hold out for a decent price.

You are right re our focus on breaking other teams down but interestingly Walker’s biggest asset to the team is his pace after we lose possession and when we are susceptible to a counter attack. I think that’s why Pep wanted him and why he values him so highly. Walker was a primary reason why we were a different team after Peps first season.

Who says that we are shifting either ??
Last year we shifted on something like £60M worth of players which included quite a few youngsters,with sell on clauses.

Delph being homegrown and a utility player wouldn't be the end of the world if he didn't move on, but do you genuinely think Mangala is in Pep's plans for the season?

Its difficult to say.Of the two,I would think Mango would be the one to leave.Not seen too many takers to date for Mangoman.

OK, so typical City - as usual the worst sellers in the football market, plenty of time and no club interested in Danilo - sounds like joke, but that's the truth. Obviously, he will end in Barcelona, im a fan, but i must admit that they are above all FFP rules. Kind of shame, but life goes on.
