Joao Cancelo

[SWPISHOME]

He’s a lot like Michael Frontzeck, with a touch of Jason Van Blerk.... !

Getting excited now! But has he got a delivery like Laurent Charvet?

Think more... David Brightwell.

Buzzing.

Why?

Not in a rude way, just interested in ur thoughts

He is exciting, deadly quick, loves a trick and great offensively.
He is equally adapt at going inside and playing a throughball/ dinked pass to attacker as he is at beating the man on the outside. He can slip inside, pick a pass aswell as whip in an amazing cross, in our system where players rotate he wouldn't be incredible.
He is a player to make who makes you stand up and watch, a bum lifter
My friend a Juventus fan says he will be disappointed if he leaves, young and has so much potential, has so much going forward, but is weaker defensively compared to standard Italian defending expectations.

I love Kyle Walker and actually really like Danilo but this guy has the potential to be the best attacking right back in the world, he is full of beans and does remind me of a prime Dani Alves.

For the record I don't think for a second we will sign him, he signed for Juventus for €40.4 last season and has four years remaining on his contract. I doubt we get him for less than €80 if Juventus are willing to sell and believe other areas are seen as a priority (probably rightly so in DM)

I think Walker is better defensively and also a better bit in a back 3 than as a full back in our system, he just isn't creative enough in final third, his desire, pace and positioning defensively is incredible from a defensive aspect.

Imagine this formation and the players swapping positions and the absolute chaos it would cause

Do some research and watch the YouTube videos and you will be very impressed

Be nice to have another ‘bum lifter’ joining the team. Him and Gundogan are both exciting players

Swap Fern for Walker in that formation

Yeah agreed that would probably work better
I was trying to demonstrate why we might not need do buy a centre half, your right we have Walker and Fernandinho who would excel

The dreaded YouTube video.

The guy can pass for sure, dribble, is fast, and can tackle.

Season long video.

Jumped the gun a bit on signing for City already.

But Cancelo looks the real deal. Portuguese as well, so would fit in well with our other Portuguese, Brazilian, and Spanish players.

If Danilo stays does that mean we dont have the quota available for Cancelo?

We can still sign him but we would definitely need to get rid of Danilo in the summer if we do. Seems no one is interested as of yet.
