7 | Joao Cancelo - 2022/23 Performances

[Blue Smarties]

Glad the **** got what he deserved. Hope he heard me from 109. ****.

Massive contrast with Sane.

 

[Blue Smarties]

I would like to think the booing was more to do with the importance of the game than anything else. I know he wasn’t every fans cup of tea but he played a huge part in our recent success.

Fuck that, he’s a ****.

 

[Kippax77]

He’s as about welcomed as a Rochdale taxi driver in Heywood

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Shite when he came on.

 

[foggy1974]

Said he'd gone to Bayern to win Ucl so those who booed were well within their rights

 

[Revolver]

Don’t know what to make of the booing. Inclined not to like it as he did make a major contribution to winning the league last season ( I think).

Did he really down tools or cause trouble in the dressing room? Or was it a case like Walker he’s not first choice and he wants to play football? If it’s the latter then booing seems harsh.

 

[blue ranger]

Dropped us in the shit half way through the season and didn’t have the bollocks to fight for his place. Glad he got booed. Guys a prick.

Some fans have short memories and I thought the booing was a tiny stain on what was an utterly magnificent City performance

 

[Gobshiight]

I've never booed an ex-City player but he left us in the shit at the very end of the transfer window, so I've got no problem with fans letting him know how they feel

I think we're used to guys sticking and fighting for their places; it's probably why guys like Stones, Ake, Zinny etc are such fan favourites. Virtually everyone in our squad has had to endure a period on the bench but Cancelo choosing to move on late in the middle of the season to a CL rival just rubbed us the wrong way. Had this happened in the summer it would've been different.

 

[Silva2021]

I’m one of the happy clappers, I clapped the footballer and not the guy (as I don’t know all the ins and outs and always 2 sides to a story).

I always said to my Son to watch him, as I have never seen a LB like him. He is a born footballer and his technical skill is outrageous.

Even this season Southampton at home, he was quality that we are unlikely to see in the position again.

Ake is probably a lot better LB and I feel we will do better with him in the team, also seems a really likeable guy.

However, I really enjoyed watching Cancelo the footballer and hence I clapped.

I think if Cancello played for us at LB tonight were conceding one or two goals. Ake is the man.

I don’t disagree but the covid season that FB/ almost number 10 role was immense.

Ake is quality and really hope to see a picture of him Sat next to Cheeky soon!

 

[ninjamonkey]

Thought it was piss poor to boo him tbh.i think it was a shithouse move from him to bail out on loan but its not an unrecoverable situation. He's still our player for now and if he comes back with his tail between his legs apologises to pep wants to try again and knuckles down there's potentially still a future for him here. Until that's not a possibility it makes zero sense to boo him.

Even if he leaves this summer I still don't think it warrants booing him, hes not milner. A proper arsenal response that, paints us in a bad light as a fanbase and disappointing to witness.

After that I don't think he's coming back mate. And I don't think Pep would have him back. Pep admires players who don't sulk but just work really hard to get into the team.....like Jack/Stones/Ake

We don’t want him back the squad has looked different since he left and for me he cost us in big games.

Allowed to disagree - well I like to think so.
I don't agree with booing ex-Blues generally, and the Club have tried to make things all rosy, but it's not a coincidence our form has improved since he left.
Every now and again you pick a bad apple. The lad doesn't appear to have improved his attitude on loan, so best to part ways.

 

[Citizen in Pakistan]

I don't want him back unless pep does but booing him wasn't the right thing imo considering he's still our player

 

[Erling9]

Hope he stays gone, loved the crowd's reaction to everything he did and his entrance

I don't think he's coming back either for what it's worth but you never know, hes still ours for now and there's no guarantee we can sell him. Should he be around next season and we've got dicks booing him it's going to turn into a xhaka situation.

Even saying he does leave, I won't be disappointed to see him go, he really left us in the shit and we don't need somebody like that but regardless of that, I don't think he's done anywhere near enough for us to start booing him.

Simply not applauding him whilst giving sane a massive welcome gets the same message across abput our feelings and doesn't make us look like dicks In the process. We look no better than arsenal fans tonight.
