He fell out with Pep because he got dropped and lost his spot to Rico Lewis because he’s been well below par. Zero sentimentality from me. If he's not interested to fight for his place he can fuck off. 70m buy option? Not too bad.

Not pursuing a replacement is shite though.

He didn`t turn us down !! We decided not to pay the silly money Chelsea decided on.

He told us he wanted to join and then jumped as soon as Chelsea offered the money Brighton wanted

He didn’t have to change allegiance to Chelsea, he could have tried forcing Brightons hand
 
Expect he's been kicking up a real stink if Pep and the board have deemed the situation bad enough to leave one of our few natural FB's leave on loan part way through a season.

Obviously this is a bad situation, but if he's not going to play and be a toxic presence, it's probably for the best. Cancelo has been a liability on the pitch in his current state.

Lets hope Ake stays fit...

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

OR, the situation between Cancelo & Guardiola is much worse than we realise & City would rather be short of Cancelo & have a return to a harmonious squad, than have a miserable, agitating Cancelo upsetting the squad dynamic.
 
Can't say I'm gutted. He's become a bit of a star, a bit above his station it feels. Some of the defensive mistakes he was making were basic.

Great to front, but we're great up front without him anyway. We needed a solid defender and he hasn't been that imo.

He's done well for us though it's just he's become a little like trent arnold
 
Back 3 is here to stay then, with Rico/Walker/Stones rotating as the players to invert into midfield, depending on who is in the best shape. Ake/Laporte at left back/left centre back for the season. That’s why we’re not going to go out and buy a left back. It’s our right back that will be inverting, so our left back will remain a natural centre back.
