No signing is terrible at the time, but Cancelo was a luxury signing, and in hindsight has shown to be a poor signing. A few decent games at the back end of the season with the pressure off is not a sign of greatness.

We simply don't know if Mendy was a good player or not, he was injured immediately after signing but at the end of the day he could have been very overrated at Monaco

And neither is it a sign of a poor player; let's just hope that Cancelo proves that he is the class player he looked like he was becoming.
 
Bernardo is just as good (if not better) when in-form.

Ideally, our midfield would predominantly consist of De Bruyne, Foden/B Silva and a mobile combative player. But I suspect we’ll see Foden/B Silva on the wing and Rodri paired with either Gundogan or Fernandinho.

He won't get in front of Walker, he, Walker far too consistent and far stronger physically.

Cancelo looked an exciting player, but in reality he looks very mehhhh, I really doubt his character, and maybe why he does not stay at a club for long. He clearly is talented in terms of a footballer.

I agree about Walker but think that Cancelo could be a good left-back solution, based on the run-in. On current form, Mendy appears some way off his best.

Ok against some teams, but a quality wide right player would destroy him.

Ok as back up but not as a regular LB.

It's about balance. Cancelo and a strong left-sided midfielder would force back the threat of a fast RW, as we saw with Leroy and Zin, repeatedly.

Stones wasn’t he was shite during his last season at Everton. Fairly sure Rodri still couldn’t run before his arrival so piss poor scouting again.

There were reports at the time that Txiki personally scouted Rodri.....
