7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Inter Me Nan]

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

He'd fit right in here then.

 

[BlueMoonRisin’]

Laporte has played LB for us as well. Not too bothered with this season. Looking towards next season

I forgot about Laporte playing there. Letting Cancelo go on loan weakens us and I'm surprised we're allowing it to happen.

 

[youngbob]

Who said he was speaking English mate?

Completely fair point and obviously I was wrong to be sceptical about this.

Just didn't realise it had turned so sour so quickly. I thought Cancelo would be off in the summer, just because we tend to avoid doing any kind of business in January, but it seems it's really deteriorated.

A shame.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Why not give Wilson Esbrand a chance? Not seen much of him but has looked composed and skillful when he has played.

He's on loan at Coventry

 

[spiny]

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.

In some of his displays this season he has played for himself and not the team. Nothing more likely to piss off Pep and team mates and have a negative effect on and off the pitch.

 

[Rammy Blue]

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.

Have you been on the cooking sherry?

 

[super_city_si]

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

He is but I'm surprised he's gone this long without a knock. Doesnt have a great injury record with us. Hope regular game time is helping him there

 

[Brad mcfc]

Can't say I'm bothered about him going, just hope we find a replacement at LB.

Good luck Joao.

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

70m is daylight robbery

Absolute madness we could get our money back.

I suspect Bayern won't take up the option though.

They have form for deals like this one. Did same on Coutinho.

He's brought the deal to City, which means Mendes has hawked him around at got lucky.

 

[Phoenix900000]

Jack saying in his article apparently we like Ben Chilwell

Great another injury prone player

 

[Eric Hitchmough]

I won't miss him because I have always maintained he's nowhere near as good as people or himself seem to think.

Doesn't have a defined position and each one he does play in, makes the team weaker in other parts.

If we do get 70m euros at the end of it, I will be astonished and pleased.

Thanks for your involvement in the titles but Pep can't have anyone causing strife in the squad.

Any talk of a last-minute replacement Tolm? I’m guessing it’s a non starter given how late in the day it is.

 

[TFC]

Wonder if we'll ever get the full story. I'd love to know why he's chucked his toys out of the pram. Lack of game time?

 

[flb]

There was talk in the press the other week with Alvarez allegedly saying that him , and other squad members weren’t happy with Pep

 

[M Gaudino]

Stick to ringing cars

?

 

[Crooked_rain]

Wouldn’t be at all bothered if we were getting a top replacement

Yeah I agree, fantastic footballer on his day, but I’ve heard he’s a right moody bastard

An in form Cancelo and there’s no complaints to make. No one could have predicted his form to completely deteriorate to the point of Pep wanting him out. Ake and Lewis have proven to be solid full back options, so in theory we weren’t any worst off. We signed Phillips because of his good performances for England and Leeds. No denying it hasn’t worked out well so far, partly due to his injuries and not quite fitting in yet.

I just think labelling Txiki as a dickhead is a bit weird considering how successful we’ve been over the years.

?

Take it you don’t know much about the player you’ve taken your username from?

 

[Man-chester copperpot]

Is Jonny F*cking Evans available?

What’s Terry Phelan up to?
