7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Brightwell Bros.]

Feels like something is rotten in the dressing room at the moment and if its cancelo then get rid for sure.
But he was one of our best players last year, whoever has jointly contributed to that no longer being the case shares blame here.
I include all coaches and Pep specifically

To think we’re not replacing him is unbelievable

If it allows Bernie, Dias and the rest of the Portuguese speaking crew to focus on football then so be it.

It's hard to balance the fact he's clearly been playing shite for club and country and fallen out big time with Pep with the fact that he played through a terrible time for him and his family to be a key role in us winning the league. Maybe one day we'll hear everyone's side of the story.

More important players have come and gone from City, for me he'll always be welcome back in Manchester.

Don't think they will use buy option at €70m that is too steep.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Rumour has it he had a bit with foden after a bad tackle on foden in training pep fined them both foden accepted cancelo didn't that was the end of him. What I was told last week didn't believe it make of it what u like.

 

[Gumzy97]

Ake has been brilliant this season problem is he does get injured.

 

[Keeper!]

Yeah but why shaft ourselves we could of got someone to buy him even for 30mill to get rid of him.

Because he clearly is causing trouble, get rid of the little runt, cancers spread quickly if not delt with.

And I would imagine Bayern have paid a considerable loan fee.

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

Maybe Rico Lewis is brilliant at left back as well as right back.

 

[kupest]

Fuck that if its just an option and not a obligatory buy

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Should be sold & not a loan.

Think we're seeing our pants being pulled down live.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Very good business if the fee is as quoted.
Never seen a player regress so much over a short period which is a real pity as going forward the lad is very good but defensively he leaves a lot to be desired.
Have to go balls deep in the summer for a left back and a "proper one" and not one thats shoe horned in. ;)

It's only an option to buy Oakie not an obligation to buy

Seems we just wanted him out of the dressing room

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Should be sold & not a loan.

Think we're seeing our pants being pulled down live.

Not sure their is time to sell outright with all the paperwork but it should have been loan with obligation to buy

 

[kaz7]

If Aké/Gomez doesn't work as a traditional LB, Pep will just do the 3 at the back, and he's got Dias, Stones, Akanji, Laporte, Aké and Walker to fill 3 places.

Count john out , he is injured more than he plays

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Count john out , he is injured more than he plays

Unfortunately

 

[TheRubberRing]

he was going in the summer anyway. he must of really pissed someone off to have brought it forward like this

 

[PrezIke]

You’d think this could be about Alphonso Davies, but Bayern have a hole at Right back.

Guess Laporte is the backup to Ake.

 

[bigalfromeccles]

Arrrr it seems all the shxt i was taking for seeing his pathetic displays wasnt far off the mark after all?? Ive copped a lot of abuse on here thats why i dont mail much...but im always proved right...

 

[SanPellegrini]

Ridiculous if we aren’t buying a replacement

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Not sure their is time to sell outright with all the paperwork but it should have been loan with obligation to buy

There's always time if it's needed mate.

 

[oakiecokie]

Don’t know what is going on in the background but seemingly a very stupid decision. One of our best players on his day. No replacement either is a joke

The bloke just hasn`t performed well this season for whatever reason and we are not privy to what goes on the background.
If we get £60M+ for him then I for one am well pleased. Not seen a player fall off a cliff so fast, especially after last season.

 

[bmfc95]

does pedro porro have a buy back? I know he has a sell on but not sure about buy back?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

If Aké/Gomez doesn't work as a traditional LB, Pep will just do the 3 at the back, and he's got Dias, Stones, Akanji, Laporte, Aké and Walker to fill 3 places.

I suspect that 3 at the back isn't a bug that has come about because of not having the right FBs, but a feature that has contributed to Cancelo feeling alienated and pushed out.
