7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Galvanoth]

Have we ever loaned anybody out and then sold them for a decent fee?

Maybe a player swap is the only way, it is how we acquired him in the first place.

If he wants out and is causing trouble, he needs out sharpish.

"In 2019, he was signed by English club Manchester City, for a reported fee of €60 million (£55 million) involving a swap deal including Danilo to Juventus. He has since won two Premier League titles and a League Cup with the club."

Pep has a lot to deal with this season. No wonder we look out of sorts.

We know it’s bad because Pep went public with criticising their hunger/desire. Pep really doesn’t do that often. It’s a last resort. This squad needs gutting and providing the board support him with that, Pep will be ruthless.

I hope so. Nothing worse than players causing trouble for the coach. Cull them all.

Big changes coming. Feel for the boss tbh.

Cancelo wouldn’t pull this bullshit if Fernandinho or Kompany were there.

Freeze him out of the first team and give Rico a go at Lb. Glad Ake has stepped up to help out.

I doubt very much that Cancelo is in our side next year - his expectations exceed his performances - a recipe for transfer.

He kicked off down the tunnel before the game yesterday, told his agent to “get him the fuck out of here”

sorry mate. What does "kicked off" here mean? sulking in the tunnel? hard to image...

Taking the no 7 shirt. You could be right.

 

[applejuice]

I don’t think he will leave in Jan, we need him for the champions league campaign

if he is a disturbing voice in the dressing room, I doubt if we really need him in CL... of course we need a LB.

a swap with AC Milan sounds good to me. But I don't think that it will be Rafael Leão. Theo Hernández it has to be.

Cancelo is gone next window. No doubt about it. A good but erratic player - who needs to move on. Godspeed.

It makes me wonder if the majority of the starters against Southampton knew that they wouldn’t be playing in the Derby….might explain some of the performances including Cancelo.

I also remember Pep having a similar rant about the players after he left Sterling out….basically saying if they don’t like the rotation they can leave

I think Cancelo is one of the most frustrating players I have ever seen…..on occasions he can be brilliant but more often than not he struggles with the basics and can’t be relied upon.

I am not sure he has the intelligence to play the Rico role (or the ball retention)……ironically a role which is probably made for him.

Something has definitely irked Pep…….wouldn’t be a surprise if Cancelo is part of the jigsaw.

Cheers.
Rico is a control player - quick passing - tempo. Young, fast - very able on defense.

Cancelo is a different player altogether - deft long range passing in particular and a bit of dribbling nous. Suspect on defense - especially when not focused.

Entirely different players.

Managers have to deal with this stuff all the time. Might just be a storm in a tea cup

We'll manage this season - next season he's gone - as is best for both us and him.

Manchester City are reportedly interested in signing Rafael Leao and willing to offer Joao Cancelo to land the Portuguese international

Look what he shouted to his agent in the tunnel. That’s kicking off in my opinion

He would need to take a massive paycut in order for this to happen.
Milan doesn't have the ability to pay his wages that he makes at City.
He doesn't seem like the type of guy to accept that when this is likely his last big contract.

It would be a great option though.
Time will tell if it has legs.

The starting lineup vs Southhampton

Ortega Moreno, Cancelo, Walker, Laporte, Gomez, Phillips, Gündogan (c), Foden, Palmer, Álvarez, Grealish

5 of them - Ortega, Gomez, Philips, Palmer, Alvarez definitely knew they would not start in the Derby. They were still at the stage of proving themselves in our team. I would think that they played hard but it did not work so well for various reasons.

3 of them - Cancelo, Walker, Foden - did start in the Derby and frankly speaking they played not at their level in both of the games. It could be the position, form or anything.

3 of them - Gundogan and Grealish were the only 2 players who could have a chance to start in the Derby but did not get selected. From what they did vs Southhampton, they did try hard but it did not really work.

So I don't think that the selection in the Derby really affected the performance vs Southhampton. It was just poor...

 

[RayCTID]

That would weaken us and we still would have to find another LB in a short space of time (impossible for this season)
