7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[mcfcpride]

It’s not even about squad harmony.It’s about being ruthless, killer mentality. It’s about sending a message.
Not just to our players, but the rest of the league.

I think this is the catalyst that wins us the title this year. I’m happy actually with this news. It means our club is being run like how I’d run it.

A player wants out, fuck em. Get rid.

 

[eastmanc]

Suicidal if he’s not replaced

And why would we do that scummy German rag club any favours?

He must be bad personality wise for City to get rid so hastily. Remeber ast week he was seen throwing a hissy fit in the tunnel.

 

[Keeper!]

Let's rock up at Brighton, everyone else seems to be?

*See what I did there ;)

We could do a lot worse than steal there scouting department.

 

[Northblue]

Do you forget some of those crosses that were fired in by him?

Yeah at 300mph that no one could control

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

He looked a really competent footballer at the world cup. Always 1st to the ball, strong, good distribution.

Unless being taken for a walk by Messi ;)

To be fair, he has taken everybody for a walk.

He's absolutely perfect for us in terms of age, talent and ability to play centre back and left-back with ease.

 

[blue61]

Absolute madness we could get our money back.

I suspect Bayern won't take up the option though.

They have form for deals like this one. Did same on Coutinho.

He's brought the deal to City, which means Mendes has hawked him around at got lucky.

In reality didn’t he only cost City 33k with Danilo going for 27k?

 

[BLUEisville]

Not this fucking shit again !!
FFS HE WANTED TO GO HE WASN`T PUSHED.

Hindsight is 20:20 but if he wanted to leave for more playing time, it'd be hard to say he wouldn't get it now. And I doubt Cancelo turns into locker room cancer overnight, the signs had to be there before.

Zin isn't necessarily the long term answer to our fullback woes but he was a positive presence in the locker room, knew the system, and was plenty reliable.

Would we be improved if we'd sold Cancelo for more money to a non-title challenger instead of shipping Zin to the Arse, I think so. But hindsight is 20:20 so, if we did, we'd all be watching him kick on at Real or Bayern and say we did horrible business.

We could do a lot worse than steal there scouting department.

You didn't just do that, did you?

Is there a sub in the house ;)

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

Cancelo as good as he has been has been a sticking plaster at left back. His first instinct is to take a touch and come inside, when we are trying to find service for a player like Haaland it doesn’t work. We need someone who will get beyond Grealish and create space on the outside and also get a ball in, keep saying it’s no coincidence Grealish has played better since Cancelo has been benched as they end up running into the same areas.

If we have to get through with Ake till June to sign someone decent so be it. The club should have paid what Brighton wanted for Cucurella in the summer, I bet he’s kicking himself too finding himself in the shit show which Chelsea are in at the moment.

 

[mike1923]

Ok fair enough.. but would he be able to play against us?

Yes, no rules in the CL to forbid that (unlike the league cup, for example)
