Joao Cancelo

I am not sure if it has been discussed here but his set piece delivery is amazing.

Walker can also play at center back. He could be an interesting option. With teams that are really fast on counter. Just look at magnificient acrobatic goal line clearance.

Agreed, we don't need to buy a new centrehalf, Fernandinho and Walker with Stones, Laporte and Otamendi is perfect.

I'm surprised we are still being linked with a CB. Why would we leave it so late?

Imho i think Cancelo, who will be brought in for the RB-position, can also play RM and even RW. For LB we will have three options if Mendy gets back, so I highly doubt we will see Cancelo in that position.
Cancelo seems a complete different kind of RB than Walker. So we will play differently when he is in the team as to when Walker is. Same with Zinchenko and Mendy and Angelino.
That’s what has been so good the last few years and makes us such a fourmidable outfit. Put in whatever player and the team out there know exactly how to play.

As for Danilo, never thought he was a weak link. Very good player and never let us down. But I do like to think this transfer will make us stronger again.

It's all about squad spots I reckon. We needed Danilo to find a new club to sign Cancelo, now City probably wait for Sane to free up the space.

And Garcia.

Fuck 532. 352 is more like it.

You know what I mean!

 

[toffee balls]

So buy one of the best right backs on the planet and play him at left back sounds like a great idea

Didn’t work out too bad for Andy Brehme and Dennis Irwin.

Me neither. Always thought he was a Brazilian full back, more thought given to attacking than defending perhaps, but I can't think of a situation where a poor performance cost us! All defenders are prone to mistakes, it's part of the game!
