So you think that Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa - two of the most demanding, intense, intelligence demanding coaches in world football would both invest heavily and pursue Benjamin Mendy, and then heap praise on his brilliant play despite him being a stupid footballer?

He obviously looked good at one stage. Whether that equates to IQ is arguable. Speed was his friend.So you think that Pep Guardiola and Marcelo Bielsa - two of the most demanding, intense, coaches in world football would both invest heavily and pursue Benjamin Mendy despite him being a stupid footballer?
Do you have any evidence of his superior mental powers?

The evidence is there if you bothered to watch him, his vision, timing and selection of passes and crosses before his last injury shows you all the intelligence you need.
Also speed was never his big thing - that you think it was lends itself to the idea you never really paid much attention to him. He was never that fast for a fullback, but he had stamina to get up and down.

We can post-rationalise all we like but it’s basically down to whether he’ll ever be a top class LB for a club with high ambitions. I think no. You think yes. That’s cool.Speed was never his big thing. He was never that fast for a fullback.

I’m in between think he’s improving and still could be, but we need insurance in case he doesn’t or breaks down again.We can post-rationalise all we like but it’s basically down to whether he’ll ever be a top class LB for a club with high ambitions. I think no. You think yes. That’s cool.

Even I think we need a better back up option in case he misses a lot of football again.
I believe he's made a lot of steps off the pitch to really make sure he's not going to be a letdown. I say he deserves our faith.
Cancelo was really impressive against Watford at LB, but remember we've seen even better performances from Mendy there. He's got a very high ceiling.

If battering the ball to no one in particular is intelligent then I give up,he has no finesse,just power
