7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[RayCTID]

I can’t remember which game (but I think it was Everton) but I commented at the time how Cancelo absolutely refused to pass the ball to Foden, often choosing cross field passes to Mahrez rather than the easier pass to Foden. When Foden was replaced by Grealish in the second half normal service was resumed. I wondered at the time if something was going on. Now, Cancelo is apparently on his way and meanwhile Foden, who allegedly injured, hasn’t been seen for a number of games. I don’t pretend to have any inside knowledge but this feels like both players have pissed Pep off.

With regard to the move, why would we accept a loan deal with only an option to buy. I fear we could end up having to deal with Cancelo all over again in a years time. I would have thought he would a highly sought after player for whom we could get a decent fee right now.

Balotelli and Hart in the 2012 run in?

This has been going on for weeks, unless something is ticked off in the summer, it seems almost stupidity on City's part an injury to Nathan sold Zin and Cancelo, Gomez not up to it, even Wilson Es moved on.

 

[bmfc95]

though

Yeah i've heard the second point from sources on here and twitter, the first one however about phil and cancelo going at each other is completely news to me.

I have seen lots of rumours for a while now about phil and cancelo having a bust up. seen some stuff on youtube too. wonder if it explains phil's 'injury'

Balotelli and Hart in the 2012 run in?

they clashed?

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Kept Ultravox's "Vienna" off the number one spot

 

[blueinsa]

No place for any player who isn’t 100% committed.

Get them out.

 

[Xhavenjoe]

Maybe we could convince them to do a swap with Davies

Why always me??

 

[RayCTID]

they clashed?

Yes they did

If it's true then we need him out of the club NOW.
We can worry about moving him on at a later date

Same here.

I'm sure more will come out

 

[citytill1die84]

Loaned him to Coventry

Personally I don't think he's good enough. Hopefully he has a good loan and gains experience.

 

[Keeper!]

In what way? By falling out with Pep? That’s not disrespecting the club. In any case it doesn’t justify him being piled on when he was a brilliant player for us for many years and helped us win the trophies we won

He spat out his dummy when question in terms of attitude by Pep.

Like your name, Grealish's shin pads are small and wrong.

 

[1Basti]

can`t shame him...6-9 months ago he was promised a lot when he extended till 2027 & now Pep prefers his 3 CB system...good business by Bayern

 

[yankblue]

We are cursed when it comes to left backs

But if he was becoming a problem and wanted out, good riddance

 

[pudge]

It feels like Christmas Day hearing this

 

[Jack Hackett]

Don’t fuck with City.
Don’t fuck with Pep.

So that’s where Arteta got his uncompromising managerial style from…

 

[RayCTID]

Not much difference between Tevez's situation and the current one with Cancelo. Arsenal are adopting a little unsettling tactics for me,

 

[pudge]

Pity it's only an option to buy

Is there a loan fee?

 

[PragueBlue]

Not much difference between Tevez's situation and the current one with Cancelo. Arsenal are adopting a little unsettling tactics for me,

So Cancelo being in Munich is part of Arsenal's unsettling tactics?

 

[OntarioBlue]

Has anyone told Chelsea he’s available. They should be good for £100m !
