7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[RayCTID]

Hopefully we don't, but Peps ruthless

Pep can be ruthless but we aren't going to completely give away Cancelo.

 

[blueabdi]

Best defensive defense Dias, laporte, walker and cancelo are droped to the bench, Best attacking bernardo silva and foden also dropped to the bench and zincho and jesus sold to arsenal in the middle of intense title race? Not good decision though.

 

[Taylor]

Jack saying in his article apparently we like Ben Chilwell

We wanted him before he went Chelsea. He's injured a lot but is a good defender

 

[bluebanana83]

Ederson in at left back. Sorted.

 

[Keeper!]

Chelsea are only buying players at the moment

They will be having one huge fire sale in the summer.

 

[chaddblue]

No,, they changed that rule a few years ago

Ok fair enough.. but would he be able to play against us?

 

[The blue phantom]

The same people saying we should have kept Zinch, the same now with Cancelo, I would wager they all wear blue tinted glasses.

Pep's actions the last couple of weeks makes me think we have an incredible summer to look forward to and a new exciting squad of hungry players next season.

I agree mate. Tbh I don't know why I read those threads as it's just full of angry bastards even when we've won games. Weird fuckers.

A big step up from Gomez tbf.

 

[Keeper!]

fucking joke. a couple of shit performances and we’ve let go another player at full back.

On his day he was world class and incredibly destructive and that would have come back with man management and coaching.

Now we just need to sign anyone who plays left back in a top league and is over 24. no more kids or converted right backs or centre halfs. a left back. under 6ft, fast.

Stick to ringing cars

 

[Del_Bosque]

So you want to let Txiki know he’s a dickhead for selling a player that doesn’t want to be here? This place sometimes.

Him not wanting to be here is fine, all for letting someone unhappy go.

He is a dickhead for not signing a proper left back for 3 years when the need has been clear.

he's a dickhead for letting Zin go in summer and no replacement and relying on someone so volatile.

he's dickhead for not having anything lined up for Jan when cancelo's been sulking for weeks.

Ask any City fan what the biggest risk was going in to this season and it was the farce at left back and it's blown up spectacularly in our faces.

Not having any nonsense about only wanting the best either we've signed Gomez and Phillips last year for no other reason than they were available.

 

[Tricky_Trev]

The new Sané. Now they can have a right good bitch about Pep together to make each other feel good about being stroppy children.

 

[gingerprince]

No Problem.

Txiki bringing Maguire in on loan £100/week and £80m option to buy,
so have CB cover should Laporte have to cover LB, if Ake gets injured

 

[MCFC1993]

Jack saying in his article apparently we like Ben Chilwell

If he could stay fit I'd have him. He can't though.

 

[skillman]

Jack saying in his article apparently we like Ben Chilwell

We were keen before he went to the chavs from memory?

 

[flb]

Ake is more than able , he’s obviously causing dressing room in harmony , so he’s been peddled

 

[Musselburgh Blue]

I completely understand him being shipped out based on some of the patchy form we've seen in recent months, more so if there's an attitude problem to go with it. Lads like Rico don't need to see professionals he's meant to look up to, behaving like self entitled twats (if that's the case of course).

However, there's a balance to be struck here surely? One of the most talked about subjects for as long as I can remember, is the left back position, and we've just let a guy who can play the role on either side leave. We are now going to rely on a centre back playing out of position or Gomez, who has an awful lot to prove.

The timing is atrocious as well when the window shuts next month. We have 3 competitions to play for, and the squad is now weaker than it was on 1st Jan.

 

[uwe rosler 28]

Bernardo to be new left back

 

[BlueMooner87]

I think this is the right decision, he shows no fight when he plays, its not a case of some games he plays 7's and some 9-10, its either 1-2 or 9-10.

 

[ysmsa]

Never keep an unhappy player. If he wants to go, let him.

True, but not a loan unless it's with a guarantee to buy.

Life was so much better when Wayne Bridge was around ;)

Thats what John Terry said as well. Life is so much better when Wayne Bridge is 'away at Man City'
