Joao Cancelo | Al Hilal Player

[urban genie]

oh well what a shame

 

[Stoned Rose]

Cracking player but sadly, a bit of a bell.

Good luck to the kid.

 

[yankblue]

Back to back net spend champions, liverpool could never

 

[roy.or.r]

Could have been a legend if he could have had an attitude like Bernado. Cannot see him being happy in Saudi so expect more mard-arsing within 12 months.

He won’t do anything there. They behead people remember?

[Lord Blue]

Well, he is a Mendes client…

David White?

He's a world class fullback. We've sold kids thus summer who haven't played above the championship for the same amount. Villa signed maatsen for £45m, Newcastle signed Hall for £35m and Brighton signed kadioglu for £30m all fullbacks. The market tells you that's very cheap for a player of his quality.

United signed Mazraoui for €15M and put him straight in the first team.
Cancelo is 30, has a reputation as a trouble maker is on big wages and has been unwanted by Juve, City, Bayern and Barca I think we got a decent fee in the circumstances. If he'd got Bernardos work ethic we'd want more, however even he apparently hasn't generated a lot of interest despite a superb work ethic and a great talent at the same age.

Maybe he's not a world class fullback. Actually there's no maybe about it. And it's not just people on this forum but also the market that tells you that.

 

[Lost in space]

I just came here to say

 

[WesthoughtonJohn]

Is it time to close the thread?

Yes please.
Most have had their say.
I don't bad mouth players who've put a shift in for us, and he did for a while, but best all round for him to move on to pastures new.
Not a bad deal all things considered

 

[Dribble]

Phew! Thank fuck for that... \0/

 

[ThreesKompany]

Saudis have now taken still-in-prime Cancelo and Laporte for about 50 million combined. Feels like we can do better but glad situation is resolved.

David White?

Was thinking more Stephen Ireland or Robbie fowler

Perhaps the market considers Cancelo more bother than he's worth, hence only a Saudi club putting forward an offer for his services.

Cancelo needs to watch out. As we've seen previously, MBS doesn't suffer fools gladly!

 

[SWPISHOME]

Good riddance.

 

[paulchapo]

Good riddance to bad rubbish. Him celebrating Hallands penalty miss when on loan at Bayern tells you everything about him.

 

[Sibierskii]

He's gone which is brilliant for the club but not sure that the people who matter would endorse your comment.

Presumably a piss take !

Hardly a piss take?

Always 100% commitment and effort every time he put on the shirt. Have a look at him celebrating when the team scored.
