He looked brilliant and was a exciting signing, but the rest is history, the fact remains most of us know, little or nothing about this dude.
The club obviously rate him highly, but let's not get carried away and put huge pressure on the guy.

Not sure all Mendy issues were down to injury, he did not seem the brightest on the football field.He was very good in Getafe where he was playing under total rigor under Bordalas as a left-winger in 1-4-4-2. For me, it's a little bit short-signed to compare everyone to Mendy, especially since he was a totally different player after his ACL injury.

Course he doeswho plays holding mid, 3rd centre back and full back during a game.
Nope he has mostly been playing Left Back since he signed for us.Yeah, the RIGHT FOOTED player who has played 99% of his career as a right-back, suddenly is LEFT-BACK. Amazing. You are probably watching his displays since the autumn of 2020.

A ringing endorsement if there ever was one:-)He is better off there than as a right back

Walker admitted. "Especially at right-back, I’m inside, outside, building up as a three. But it’s what I’ve grown to love."Course he does

Kyle plays Peps way. If he didn't he would be playing for Southampton by now.Kyle walker says hi
The club did rate him up until his off the field activities caught up with himHe looked brilliant and was a exciting signing, but the rest is history, the fact remains most of us know, little or nothing about this dude.

Cancelo's better performances have been better at Left BackA ringing endorsement if there ever was one:-)
He was toast long before those incidents, not sure if injuries were the only issue, but that's another argument.The club did rate him up until his off the field activities caught up with him
According to this he has made 334 appearances at a club level, with 192 of them at right back. He has made 61 at Left back including several appearances as far back as 2016 when on loan at Valencia, and predominately this season where has been nominated for POTS. I'm not mathematician but that doesn't seem like 99% to me.Yeah, the RIGHT FOOTED player who has played 99% of his career as a right-back, suddenly is LEFT-BACK. Amazing.

You can disagree with somebody's point, but you don't have to resort to hyperbole or become aggressive about it.
Nope Mendy was used during the 2020-21 title build up. He was still part of the squad at that stage.He was toast long before those incidents, not sure if injuries were the only issue, but that's another argument.

Walker had 2 assists in the PL this season, 1 goal & 1 assist last. How does that stack up exactly?Yes, we have. May I have my opinion on him?
1 assist in 35 games. No go for me. We need Walker type of wing back. Not another Zinch on the left.
Btw Zinch is professor for this guy.

I never said he played all the time as a traditional right back just that he didn’t play in 3 or 4 different positions. He is tall quick and can defend. Cancelo is great going forward especially during his purple patch where everyone was complimenting him on his attacking ability. But he is a poor defender and gives the ball away in very stupid situations whether he plays at left or right back.Walker admitted. "Especially at right-back, I’m inside, outside, building up as a three. But it’s what I’ve grown to love."
I have yet to hear anyone comment on his defensive abilities because it isn’t his strength it’s not even a debate. His qualities are more in the mould of KDB. He could do a decent job as a number 8 in fairness for a lot of teams.

Wouldn’t be bluemoon forum if we couldn’t resort to aggressive hyperbole…..According to this he has made 334 appearances at a club level, with 192 of them at right back.

I think some don’t actually watch gamesWalker had 2 assists in the PL this season, 1 goal & 1 assist last. How does that stack up exactly?
Maybe he doesn't want to play as a right-back and maybe we have used him as a left-back because we have not signed a specialist LB for ages? He is a right-back, natural right-footed right back.Nope he has mostly been playing Left Back since he signed for us.

Going forward they have but that isn’t the conversation. Hard work this.Cancelo's better performances have been better at Left Back
I'm talking about his overall performance's since he signed for City. Are you a mod or poster on a wind up? You must be GusVia Transfermarkt:
Juventus 2018/19: 24 games as a RIGHT-BACK, 1 game as a left-back.
Inter 2017/18: 20 games as a RIGHT-BACK, 1 game as a left-back.
Valencia 2016/17: 20 games as a RIGHT-BACK, 17 games as a RIGHT-MIDFIELDER.
But Ray from Manchester thinks he is a left-back. I'm done.
