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! View attachment 67637
More and more evidence that he has a fragile mentality and that this was always likely to happen in a Pep-managed side.

He was at Valencia in Spain wasn't he?

To be honest, something was brewing last season with Sterling, Jesus & Zinchenko. Once players start moaning about playing time, it makes others focus on their minutes too.

If a player believes their personal playing time is more important than the squad performing at their optimal level, it's time to get rid... Unless we want to turn into a club where those who bellyache the loudest, get picked to start... )(

More minutes for City than any other defender so far this season too. Sounds like he's trying to justify the move to himself because the stats don't add up.

Yeah, I immediately edited my post when I remembered he was at Valencia not Real Madrid but you archived the original. ;-)

I think Pep's call to arms after the Spurs match was his last stand against the spreading individualistic mindset in the squad.

Let's hope it and Cancelo's exit is effective in squashing it.

This 100%! I think the booing, Cancelo bust up & the subsequent words from Guardiola regarding the squad & the crowd, & now Cancelo leaving will have a massive affect on our season on & off the pitch.

We're a team in transition anyway, but I believe the three who left in summer, plus Cancelo will lead to City clearing out any other players who're moaning about their lack of minutes, instead of trying to force Guardiola's hand by actually performing when called upon.
