Is he an upgrade on Cancelo? Genuine question, as I know practically nothing about Guerreiro

In terms of raw talent, no. In terms of consistency of performance, absolutely IMO.

Far more disciplined and intelligent player. Cancelo, for better or worse, is an emotional and instinctive individual, on and off the pitch.

Signing a Croatian in time for the Champions League final, smart

Also pretty sure City will ask Akanji and Haaland about his character before moving in with a deal. IF they approve he's a top bloak.

Pretty much what I observed from him during Dortmund's choke last weekend.

Scored a good goal, missed a couple, but defensively suspect?

Pep overthinking again! With his versatility I think he slots in and has better players around him. Will be interesting to watch.

before the big meals.

How many BIG meals? 2 or 3?

Pep knows we need Croatians to win the CL. Ominous considering Inter already have one…

We’ll sign him next wednesday. Fly him over to Istanbul to seal the deal.

Surely depends on outgoings. Laporte and Bernardo warrants 2 at least :)

To be fair, show me a modern day full back and I'll show you a defensive liability.

Kovacic - winner, winner, chicken dinner!

Technical, strong enough, quick. Any of the three mf positions.

We've needed an extra body for ages. And he's pretty cheap! We'd be laughing all the way to the bank.
