7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[madloaf]

Maybe not a linchpin but whichever way you look at it, he was a vital member of the squad in August when we chose not to pursue another full back after Cucurella.

Aside to that, only him and Kev ever looked capable of putting the ball into Haaland from a cross. Now we have just Kev to do that

Fair enough, valid points particularly with the crosses for Haaland. I'll keep banging on but it feels like a mindset or tactical instruction to not play through balls, crosses etc at the earliest opportunity rather than a capability one - but either way its resulted in the stagnant attacking football we've experienced many times this season (i know, we still score lots of goals...but everyone knows what I mean).

I understand all the arguments, but does anyone know how much City gain financially from this loan move?

Is there a loan fee or are we simply saving on his wages?

I think, at this point, he has become such a negative influence on the team, that we’re probably willing to cover most of his wages just to get him away.

The more I see about this situation the more I'm glad he's gone. Sounds like he just pissed an moaned 24/7. Must be annoying working with a clown like that.

seen Anelka and Kolarov smile more than him!

My mate used to deal with a Blue who won a trip to a European game on the Players plane. He said Kolarov was by far the most friendly and very funny.

No mention of being


No mention of being the best fullback in the sack by his wife ha!ha!

I wonder when his house was burgled, if one of the robbers tried on João’s best boxers and actually crapped in them. Hence a big fallout with the wife.

Leaves us short in a critical area. Is having a player with fire in his belly and a point to prove a bad thing? Probably needs punishment - but there are other ways.
A couple of weeks ago we were complaining about a team of yes men.

Throwing a tantrum every time you don’t get picked and not celebrating teammates doing well isnt fire in the belly, it’s just being a ****.

Mike: Some players simply want to be at the big global clubs with history. Man City is an attractive club for wages and silverware, but is still nowhere near the clubs of Bayern Munich's stature. Completely understand Cancelo wanting out.

Said a completely impartial and objective Manchester United/Liverpool fan.

Why anyone even bothers looking at BBC Sport these days is way beyond me. It’s nothing more than a publicly funded trolling service, and subsidised PR for the Rags.

It’s genuinely a shame the depths of craven, obsequious, emotionally needy cheerleading they’ve descended to on there.

Their football coverage is characterised by a complete absence of talent and insight, and is lacking in even basic credibility.

Clickbait at its worst!

Glad I read back a bit as was going to post the exact same.
What cnuts BBC for posting this.

Benjamin Mendy says he’s not

 

[Dribble]

Cancelo's just said his move was down to a lack of minutes over the last 3 weeks & he doesn't have a problem with Guardiola????

Not being picked for 3 weeks leads to a transfer request? Bollocks!
