7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Karl8]

This appears to be a bizarre turn of events, and clearly points at issues taking place behind the scenes. I just hope we have adequate cover in this position or better still an incoming replacement. We have to trust the clubs management structure on this. No doubt Cancelos presence was a disruptive one and so his position was untenable. At least we have acted quickly, and got him out so any problems he has caused will hopefully now settle. on the down side though, I wonder if Bernardo will look at this and wonder why he wasn’t allowed to be loaned out, and if he needs to become a disruptive influence to get his way….

 

[we are the east stand]

Shame but obviously a mammoth falling out behind the scenes for it to come to this.

Hopefully we can get Sane back in exchange for the rest of this season.

 

[domalino]

Masterstroke if the "option" is based on him playing x games or something.

Otherwise it might as well not exist.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Option to buy €70M

 

[Joao7Fazzar]

We're not really struggling at the moment, we're second in the league, and quite frankly you are talking bollocks.

You're talking bollocks mate if you don't think we're struggling

 

[Irishblue93]

Would we recall JWE from his loan or stick with ake/laporte/gomez

 

[MarsLlama]

We're being shafted with this deal

£61.5m option to buy apparently. For an out-of-form defender nearly 29, that's not shafted at all.

His fate was sealed in my opinion when Pep referred to him as 'Mr. Cancelo'.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

When fit we can move Stones out to right back if needs be, not ideal but will have to muddle through till June. Can’t see us pulling anything out of the bag as a replacement this late in the window.

 

[SWP's back]

M*ndy contract cancelled Sept 2021, Zin sold July 2022, Cancelo loaned out Jan 23.

Not 1 senior replacement signed.

Deserve not to win the league or CL, unbelievable hubris from the transfer lot Txiki and Berada

Has the window closed yet?

 

[skillman]

1 less senior full back in an area we’re already lacking numbers in. I fucking hope we know what we’re doing.

His attitude was obviously stinking the gaff out for us to:

1. Sell so close to the end of the window and,

2. Deal with those cunts

A real shame because he’s a fabulous footballer - a bit suspect defensively but was readymade for this team under Pep. But if you’re not prepared to fight then there’s only one way to go - out the door. Admittedly I’m a bit surprised we kept him for as long as we did, I thought he was a gonner at the end of 19/20.

Option to buy at €70m apparently according to Jack Gaughan. Be a good fee for somebody who wants our IMO but frustrating given he has 4 years left.
