7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[bluetonium]

Gutted really, not just that he's going but that he's not doing it for us and it seems to be connected to his state of mind. Good fee though.

Criminal if we don't get a left back now though. That lad at Dortmund, we were linked before cucurella, can't go into the business end of the season with Ake and Gomes as our left back options.

Gutted. Ffs, Joao, give your head a wobble.

Ederson in at left back. Sorted.

Even better, simply play Eddie as a rush goalie!

 

[oakiecokie]

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

He wanted to join City but we were NOT prepared to pay the fee that Chelsea paid.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Any talk of a last-minute replacement Tolm? I’m guessing it’s a non starter given how late in the day it is.

You would expect so, although I don't see anyone out there unless the Garvidol thing can be rushed through.

 

[Uptop]

Pep simply realised we play best without a real leftback, next to convert Philips to leftback to take on the Delph role

 

[Bez]

His performances have dipped. Whether that's anything to do with the burglary or his relationship with Pep? I'd be guessing on both counts. If he's demanding playing time and not going to get it at City get him out on loan. If he plays well that should increase any sale value in the summer. He's not been consistent enough recently so if he wants a change of scene let him try something different. Good luck to him. The issue for me is whether we have enough cover.

 

[Kippaxpete]

Ask the Wizard of Oz for some courage.

Put 'em up!

 

[oakiecokie]

You don`t piss on Pep as theres only one winner.

 

[dave_blue12]

No chance we get €70m for him. I reckon €40m at best.

He wanted to join City but we were NOT prepared to pay the fee that Chelsea paid.

Yes I know about the fee but he declared he wanted to join City above anyone else and the next day switched to Chelsea.

City spent a long time chasing the deal no doubt based on commitment from the player.
