Closer to 26 but agree it’s hard to believe he’s still so young. Ignore links to him however- apart from the difficulty to actually leave PSG, his agent regularly links him away to get better terms from the Qataris

Yep60m is a lot to pay for a player just to give our present RB a kick up the arse.
At this moment in time Cancelo has been a terrible signing.
Talking to a Celtic fan last night. Says Frimpong is doing really well.Zinchenko should either leave or be a rotation in midfield. I'm amazed we dont try him in the dm position. Seems to have all the qualities needed apart from height but hes a scrapper. We cant afford to have gundogan and zinchenko playing out of position. Either 1 should be dedicated position or move on. Cancelo was a crazy buy for us because frimpong who moved to celtic could easily of backed up Walker.
Why do people keep repeating this Cancelo propaganda? We didn't spend 60m on him. It a swap deal. The only reason there is a 60m figure attached to the deal is because Juve needed to recognize it all up front for accounting purposes and the media's run with it to make us look bad or whatever. It cost us ~30m out of pocket.60m is a lot to pay for a player just to give our present RB a kick up the arse.

It was a deal that is the best part of 60m, so your saying Danilo was worthless?Why do people keep repeating this Cancelo propaganda? We didn't spend 60m on him. It a swap deal.

Regardless as of January 2020, a terrible signing, lets hope he proves his worth very soon.

Given that the PL title is pretty much done and we just have the cup's to worry about I don't see strengthening at this point in the season is a huge priority.
IF we do any business in the transfer market in January it will be pretty quick. I think any deals will have been done already, and the paperwork will just be a formality.

No, Danilo isn't worthless, but we got value back in return. You can't count Danilo's value without counting Cancelo so you just look at net outlay. Player 1 + 30m for Player 2 = 30m net.It was a deal that is the best part of 60m, so your saying Danilo was worthless?

Still not looking like a particularly great transfer at the moment, but a long way to go.

We gave away a very good player and 30 million and so far have no return, not a good deal to me.
