7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Craig]

How to turn on a player guys , lol

To be fair he’s always come across as a petty knobhead. However, had some amazing games for us particularly last season. Joy to watch on his day but also absolutely horrendous other days

 

[mike1923]

Won’t he be cup tied?

No,, they changed that rule a few years ago

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

Ake has been class, I recon someone last minute comes in?

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

It seems Pep is sticking with the 3-2-4-1 that we've been playing, and that Ake, Lewis, Walker and Gomez gives us enough cover to do it. Which is probably fair enough, but it's a bit of a wild card.

 

[Keeper!]

I'd agree that's a great deal but is it true? Bayern could be crafty and not take up the option

Highly unlikely they will, they are tight bastards but at least we don't have him stinking the building out for a few months.

[MCFC1993]

Major rebuild coming in the summer though.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Something as not been right at the club for a while

If Cancelo is the problem, not sure we will ever find out, then he had to be removed.

The issues I have are what others have already said.

Why only an option to buy and not an obligation to buy

This leaves us short of cover on the left, Gomez not good enough IMO

 

[Manchester_City_Blue]

City would say we're happy with what we have regardless of if we were looking. Given the way Chelsea have been jumping on every single transfer we wouldn't want to outline our intentions in the press, we'd go about it quietly. Very well maybe we won't get anyone but I have a suspicion that Porro buy back may be activated. Small risk in that we can always sell him on If it doesn't work out

 

[skillman]

It’s a good job Ake has stepped up. I feel ‘safer’ with him at left back - pace, aggression and comfortable on the ball.

Perfect for almost any winger he comes up against really.
