7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Mancini’s Pastilles]

£61M says we`re not.

"Option" to buy which they won't take up

Spoke to a guy who works at city last week who called it but I didn’t believe it for a second. He reckons laporte at the end of the season too.

 

[Citizen of Legoland]

Arrrr it seems all the shxt i was taking for seeing his pathetic displays wasnt far off the mark after all?? Ive copped a lot of abuse on here thats why i dont mail much...but im always proved right...

Anyone else read that in a pirate accent? Arrr!

 

[gazinho]

We're such a fucking soft touch as a club, letting one of our only 2 senior full backs go on loan to a champions league rival with only an option to buy at the end of the season and 1 day to go in the transfer window, shitshow

 

[Millwallawayveteran1988]

There is no smoke without fire. He has clearly seen his arse and Pep wants rid. I’m glad. It would be useful to get someone in though.

 

[domalino]

Pep wants him gone. You haven’t got a clue whether that’s to do with Cancelo’s personality or him making a couple of mistakes in big games.

Pep's never got rid of someone because they make mistakes in big games. If he did, Laporte wouldn't be here. Stones would have left 4 years ago. Jesus wouldn't have stayed until he chose to leave.

Pep has said repeatedly he hates "sad faces", he's said he almost sold Cancelo in his first season for sulking in training, he referred to him as "Mr Cancelo" on Friday and then implied he's the only person in the squad not happy for Aké doing well.

Are you really going to pretend this is about anything other than attitude?


Anyway as for cover.

Aké is looking good, the kid Gomez can play and develop. Pep's already playing 3 at the back in some games which is a formation we have tons of cover for.

And the new kid Perrone is left footed so maybe he's an option.

Pep's not going to cut his nose off to spite his face. He'd only sanction a move if he thought he could win all 3 tournaments with the squad he's got left.

Ake gets injured we are fucked. Gomez who can't defend at left back in a title fight. We have just weakened ourselves. Our season now relies on if Ake can continuously stay fit. Gomez is shocking defensively

Laporte would be used ahead of gomez against decent opposition. Assuming he's not needed at cb.

 

[Gaz in Zurich]

The minute the ”report” surfaced about him being on the phone in the tunnel screaming get me out of this fucking club, I think his days were numbered, lol.

where was this reported?

 

[MCFC1993]

Option to buy basically means we're getting piss all.

Hopefully the loan fee is decent.

 

[bmfc95]

Cleary a huge fall out and the agent tunnel rumours could be true
