Mendy won't be available for a while, Zinch has done really well there as a converted midfielder and shades Angelino (at least for now) but Cancelo is probably better than both.
As a LB? i find that hard to believe.

I'm sure he does. I wasn't debating if he can or can not play at LB. But i do find it hard to believe that he would be better than Angelino and Zinchenko there, both having had really good seasons in that position.
You being bored with a response to your claim is hardly my fault.
I 100% trust the club, and if they want Cancelo then he’s probably a great player, but the stats are not goodThat bloody Pep better be a good coach then .

I'll take your word for it because I have no idea, never having seen him play.
I seriously doubt that we would be persuing him if Pep and co didn't think he would be a good signing though.

As someone who watches Serie A and La Liga as well as the PL, I have seen Cancelo play approx 12 Juventus matches last season of which he started or was subbed on during a match.
There is absolutely no doubt that he is especially good positionally and possessionally as a ball carrier and his passing is of a satisfactory standard. What might be a concern - it was by fans of the bianconeri - is his defending, which is not up the Chiellini, Barzagli standard. He is quite pacy as the possession transitions from defence to attack.
I think he will do well for City.

If true, good deal. Walker can be rested but also has genuine competition for his position.
Would arguably be the most complete squad we’ve yet had.
