Joao Cancelo | Al Hilal Player

Don’t know if the club can do this but why don’t they tell cancelo and his agent if you want to go to Barcelona they have to pay. If not you can go on loan somewhere else. If you don’t find a club to go on loan or buy you, you will rot and train by yourself. Your training schedule will be ftom1100 pm to 100 am or 400 am to 6 00 am…take your pick!!

How do you think his friends will react to him being treated like that? What would it do to the spirit and team morale in the camp? How often do clubs with a fractured dressing room win trophies? Why do clubs who are successful always talk about the atmosphere in the dressing room?

Might explain why we won’t do it.
 
yep, probably rumour of City not accepting loan only deal around 25th of August, Barca trying to do another lever on the 27th to buy him, Cancelo might be staying with City 28th, Barca last offer of a loan with option to buy which is not mandatory on the 29th, and we accept it and he moves on the 30th.
rinse and repeat summer 2025 later on.

If the narrative is true, it was Cancelo that was a disruptive influence in the squad.

Exactly. If what was widely reported is true, I would be more concerned about what his presence does to people like Rico than concerning ourselves with hurting his feelings. Yes, clubs that are successful have good dressing room atmospheres. But that doesn’t mean you have to make every personality fit. Sometimes a good dressing room means knowing who to have in the dressing room in the first place.

Of course we can’t be sure exactly what happened. But given the wide array of reports, something happened. And the fact that he’s a decent player but has been moved around quite a bit, probably indicates there might be some issues.
 
It was bad enough to let Cancelo go mid-season without anyone coming in to take his place. The performances leading to Cancelo departing were very sketchy. Along with the FFP charges being announced after the Spurs defeat the squad atmosphere was poor.

If we would have replaced him do you reckon we would have won oult in 2022/23 season?
 
It would seem if you make an enemy of Pep you will never play for this club again in any meaningful game.
That's the way it's been since Pep came. To select Cancelo again would be a departure from the above, I can't see it.
His agent will be busy trying to get him a last minute loan anywhere although his options are now more limited.
We're over a barrel on his contract or loan fee in his last year but it appears we don't give a fuck about the money.
 
Just seen Barca are offering a £23m package comprised of a £6m loan fee for this season and a £17m obligation to buy next season. Or is this old (non) news?
