Delighted he’s playing well so far.

I hope he’s their best player between now and the end of the season, scoring and assisting for fun whilst playing a key role in the best back four in Germany - that way either Bayern will be so desperate to sign him they’ll take up their option, or some other Club will come in and outbid them.

He’s not coming back to City, despite what he said in his press conference, so his only use to us now is to earn us as much money as possible!

Touché. Although, his greatest test will come when they play PSG in the champions league. He’s a top player no doubt, although letting him go was definitely the right decision to keep a unified camp during a crucial next few months. But, I also remember a few years back when he was hooked at half time away at PSG due to a poor showing defensively and replaced by Zinchenko. He didn’t play again in that competition that season.

Fingers crossed one of their midfielders man marks Mbappe out of the game or something, so our boy doesn’t get tested one on one!

Probably already been covered in this thread so forgive me if that's the case. But listening to Ste and Ahsan talking in the brilliant Esteemed Kompany channel it seem's he's really been acting like a dick so if we get a good fee for him in the summer we are well rid.
 
I have seen a few posts in this thread along the lines of "stupid decision". To those people let me ask you this...

If it was stupid then you are asserting this was done without a great deal of thought/on a whim due to Pep possibly seeing his arse? Could it not be Pep wanted to see the season out then clean house but has been left with no alternative than to act now due to issues getting so bad they threaten to derail our season and squad harmony?

My take is Pep thought he could manage us through to the end of the season but Cancelo has lost the plot and left him with absolutely no choice but to get him out asap. There were probably warnings about Cancelo's behaviour earlier but he has, in a very short time, gone nuclear to the point it was intolerable for him to stay.

I understand some people not happy he has gone to Bayern with no fee but equally that should tell you that it was very serious and such considerations were very very much secondary. The primary issue was getting him the hell out and quick, nevermind to who and for how much!
