7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[WRicko]

I probably rate him too highly he was such a revelation playing inverted fullback and at times false 9 or winger. Probably happened less than I think. Was weak defensively. Don’t want to get into attitude stuff don’t know what’s true or not. Just wish him the best apart from if he plays us. If true 61 million option to buy is a good deal. Even if Pep cannot find a fullback like him going forward I am sure he can find someone with other attributes and use the funds for other areas to

 

[Maldeika]

He is in Munich doing a medical. I think deal is done.

German press had photos/videos from him when he did the first part of his medical at the usual hospital.




That already was at 4 pm.

The second part probably was made later in Bayern Munich's trainings grounds.

I doubt that he flies to Munich and does a medical when the situation without an agreement of both clubs - and that there was one was already reported at 1pm before the flight.

 

[Franny 1234]

In the previous 2 seasons he was one of the most important that's true but what's also true is this season he has been one of the biggest liabilities.

Talking of liabilities let's not forget the foul throw in away at Southampton CTID

 

[Dethred]

All this guarantees is that he scores or assists the winning goal against us in the CL final this year.

Maybe I am negative after all? Honestly when Pep wasn't sure if everyone was happy for Ake scoring the goal against Arsenal, I knew there was trouble with that pretty boy twat of a player. Good riddance.

the revisionism in the fanbase regarding cancelo is over the top ..in the last two seasons Cancelo was one of the most important players in the squad..he was at least top 5 in played minutes...personally he`s the type of player i would pay to see live or on screen...technically gifted player who has his temper..."ancelotti-type" of coaches could perhaps handle his personality better

but like many people have already said...nobody is bigger than the club...but the same applies to Pep

It’s one thing him sulking to himself in privacy and a completely different issue if he’s upsetting dressing room harmony , if the spats and arguments are to be believed with Pep and Foden then he’s bang out of order, you can’t have a shit stirrer in the dressing room, I’m guessing that this has been brewing for a while with him and it reached the point that something needed to be done , and for the record i don’t thing he’s the only one who’s unhappy either, footballers have massive egos at the best of times,Pep has made it clear with this issue that if you don’t like rotation , or drop your standards and show unhappiness then you’re out , going to be very interesting at the weekend to see if there is an uplift in workrate.

 

[Jag]

We desperately need a new club captain to sort some of the players out. Gundogan just isn't the sort of leader that commands respect. I highly doubt something like this would have occurred if Kompany or Fernandinho were still at the club.

 

[City Raider]

These sort of deals scream just want him out of the club. He hasn’t been the same since incident at home. 2 times pfa team of year so not getting some of the hate

 

[levets]

Yes recall Roberts now you mention it.

He even scored against us!

I wish these people who are employed by the club would stop spreading malicious gossip. Loads of it on here and now it's all over the papers. So Pep's next press conference is about all that nonsense when he wants to talk about football. Surely people have confidentiality agreements in the workplace but it's on here, plus I'm guessing twitter and facebook (although I don't use them platforms). If people work at City, are paid by City and love City why do stuff that hurts the club? Weird.

Bc people will be people. It’s like that at every workplace. City is no different.

Commands respect or earns respect? I think the best leader of a club is those who earn it rather than commands it ? Obviously just my opinion.
Vinny and fern just earned it by honest graft and accountability for the rest of the team .
It went to a players vote and gundo got it . Saying that I was surprised at that.

A lot of them aren’t Blues.

 

[Gumzy97]

Anyone know what this means Lu is close to and trusted by pep

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

A lot of them aren’t Blues.

I thought that for many years but thought I was wrong as why would City employ fans of other clubs. Maybe they lie to get in & stir it up.

 

[Kompany Car]

The word vaya is kind of similar to saying damn in English.

 

[kun]

Great player but clearly needed to be let go.

If we get €70m at the end of the season it's good business also.

Problem is it leaves us light in an area where we were already questionable.

Hopefully everyone can step up in his absence.

[Ja Salford Blue]

Sending Cancelo without replacement will ruin our current season..

Except Walker we don't have decent fullback left for upcoming playoffs and big games in PL..

The last time we contested a play off game was against Wigan in 1999! Surely you remember it?

Maybe some of the leaks are leaked with the approval of the club ;)

 

[Ja Salford Blue]

The revisionism on here is pathetic. Listening to some you'd think we were offloading a player of Sunday league quality. And the fantasy of Foden being kept out of the squad to keep him out of Cancelo's way? Where the fuck do people come up with this shit?

He had a poor half-season, but the same could be said for most of the squad. If his attitude stunk, then I very much doubt it's something that happened overnight, which begs the question why haven't the club been laying the groundwork for a replacement? They've had all month.

Our three best centre backs are made of glass, so when they invariably break down again, Ake will have to drop back into the centre.

The club don't get much wrong, and if he came to blows with Pep then fair enough. But Arsenal have bolstered and we've lost an experienced squad member, giving us 24hrs to fill a glaring hole in the squad.

WOW! have your actually listened to yourself mate?
I assume that the 3 Centre backs your saying have glass backs are (Stones, Dias and Laporte)?

That will be the same Stones, Dias and Laporte that between them have won 10 premier league medals in the last five years!
