It’s sad that he seems to be a bit of a cock.
Glad to see him go, Can’t say he has ever been a favourite of mine
He sulks, play acts, can’t defend and plays the off outside foot pass twice a season.
He looks the kind of bloke who doesn’t have any mates as he is a mard arse - he changes clubs a lot which to me tells me he doesn’t have any fight in him and leaves when it gets tough
As for 70m - not a fucking chance
I’d take chilwell in a heart beat over Cancello

Ake has been fantastic, but going forward he offers nowhere near as much as Cancelo did. Yes he scored against Arsenal which was big, but overall Cancelo just has so much more in his locker. Ake is very, very good but his best position is centre-back

And Cancelo offered nowhere near as much defensive cover as Ake does

Oh for the days of a left back who can defend and attack

I couldn’t give a shit how much we sell him for , he won’t be setting foot at City again , we paid £60m for him on a 4/5 year contract -we’ve had two years out of him that equates to approx £25m in value , £25m is about right on the clubs books. Other clubs will also see why he’s left previous clubs , so that downgrades any potential transfer away from City.He’s one of those players who feels “misunderstood” and that it’s never his fault , good riddance, he had a face like a slapped arse anyway!

We didnt really pay 60m for him. That was book balancing so we could show a profit on Danilo - no way he was worth the 29m we show for his sale. More reasonably, Danilo worth about 15m and Cancelo was effectively bought for net 46.5m. I think we will get more than 25m - maybe 35-40m in the summer

He's been one of our stand-out players for the last 2-3 years. Arguably one of the best full-backs in the world, and so creative and valuable when he tucks into the midfield.

Yes, he's had a couple bad months of form, but so has Foden, guessing you'd want to sell him too then?

People have short-term memory. 3 bad months does not make him any less world-class. The only explanation for this is if he and Pep had a falling out

Fair enough if you think that August till January is a few months of poor form.
For me, it is just too long to wait for a player to find himself. City compete to be Champions in 4 competitions every season against both top competitors and the lower ones who treat us like a Cup Final. We don't get the luxury of carrying passengers for 6 months.

And if the falling out with Pep rumor is true, then I'm happy to see him in the Bundesliga. No ill will. Certainly not forgetting his contributions to trophies past... Just business.
 
Looks like pep is now fucking off the wankers
Don’t fuck with him guys - cancelo will be back in summer as Bayern won’t sign him and he will end up somewhere a lot worse than city
Come on pep!

A lot quicker than Tevez and Balotelli to be fair

And Ake is having a stellar season but he offers fuck all in terms of creative play upfront, this affects our overall play on the left side which can be better (yes I know he scored last game).

Don’t agree. Cancelo and Grealish on the left was a recipe for disaster. I will admit that he has provided some decent moves going forward, but defending is certainly not his strong point. The balance looks much better with Ake and Grealish. Their performances against Arsenal were outstanding considering that they were were up against an excellent player in Saka.
 
Shame in a way because at the top of his game he was a sublime player who was a joy to watch. Having said that he was only at that level for about 50% the 3 1/2 years he has been here and even then he was always a liability defensively. It was just that the positives heavily outweighed the negatives .... except in Madrid.

He has obviously regressed this season and a lot of that might be down to the change in style which exposed his defensive frailties but it also worth noting he got dropped during the World Cup after 2 games because every goal Portugal conceded came from his side.

Some players look at themselves, get their head down and wait for the chance that will inevitably come given the schedule and squad size. If it's still not working out seek a move in the summer. It appears he's chosen to throw his toys out of the pram instead. Had to go.
