Joao Cancelo | Al Hilal Player

[Xhavenjoe]

He’s destined to play 70% of their games so it’s essentially an obligation in my view. Plus his wages are off our books so that’s also great.

Was it Barcelona who supposedly didn't play Griezmann so they wouldn't have to pay add on fees based on appearances?

City will pull the right lever for Cancelo -:)

That was Atletico Madrid. They were supposed to pay 60m for Griezmann after selling him to Barca for 120m. They did not want to so they would only bring him on for 30 odd minutes so it doesn’t count as an appearance. Eventually Barca sold him for 20-25m. So yeah, not a similar situation. Barca don’t really have right backs aside Sergi Roberto who isn’t good and Jules Kounde does not want to play there. Given CL and league fixtures he’ll undoubtedly play many games. They wouldn’t agree to pay his wages for a whole year otherwise, the 70% games is just for their security given his behaviour in the past, not necessarily a bad thing.

I'm fully expecting him to play somewhere between 65-69% of their games this season.

Born on Feb 29, so Ambrose was 4 and Torres 5 when they first scored.

Child labour. 116 charges now.

I reckon you could narrow that down further, it'll be between 69-69.9%.

Those conditions for Cancelo to Barcelona the obligation to buy if he plays 70% of there games will not happen he be back at city next year

 

[ws01]

Rock solid obligation to buy clause please.

 

[Barcon]

Hold out until his only choice is Saudi.

 

[Coatigan]

Hold out until his only choice is Saudi.

And then loan him to Saudi while paying his wages with no obligation to buy.
