7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

Turned into Bruce Lee during training.

Squad is smaller with him leaving, would be even smaller if he stayed ;)

Regardless of what's happened, this transfer makes us significantly weaker for a tough run-in.

Sometimes these things happen and you just have to get the player out of the club. The problem is that we didn't sign a left back in the summer. Our squad planning at the moment feels atrocious. Hopefully, this season is a bit of a kick up the arse (if you excuse the pun).

Ake is more defensive minded than Cancelo. Which means Grealish should have more space and a safety net.

I think we will see the best of Grealish.
I don’t think we will be weaker…. Just different

I just wait for us to draw at bristol and some sad-sac starts a why did we loan out cancelo thread in a really cringy knee-jerk way.

Hes always been a difficult character. But I'm asking the question what on earth has changed?
Its a big fall from grace.

There’s a good reason he’s already had 5 clubs…..

You just know this will happen

Any news of a 9pm signing?

Feel a lot of people are reading much too much into this departure. Cancelo has been one of the first names on the team sheet in seasons past. His form for the last 4 months or so has not been good and he's probably, understandably not happy that he isn't playing more. His hunger appears to have dipped and Pep has decided that we can cope without him and moved him on. I'm sure this stuff happens all the time but its much more exciting to report claims of 'bust ups' and 'dressing room divides' than just a professional parting of ways.

There are too many leaving for a club like ours. And despite Haaland his goals, I think we haven’t played better or improved from the last 4-5 seasons.

Pep could be right to loan/sell him on. Time will tell.

Any news of a 9pm signing?

My friend’s mate said we’re signing Geoff Thomas, Mido and Messi

It's got all the makings of one of those threads that are started after a mediocre first half.
