I said this a while back on his player thread, it makes perfect sense because he doesn't have the technical ability in possession to play as an inverted fullback (well he does but I think we could get better). At centre back this wouldn’t be as exposed as he’s got everyone in front of him and can play easier passes out to the fullbacks as well.

Would rather see us go all in for Semedo.
Semedo's decision making in the final third is not great. This is my view off his performances for Barca. We can do a lot better.Me too. Cancelo is a disaster defensively.

I think two of the best right backs other than walker or danilo are both in the prem already. Perreira at Leicester and Bissaka at palace. They’re probably too expensive and not sure the former would be available. I also liked the look of maffeo every time I saw him play. Not sure how he’s faired in Germany though.

Keep Danilo as backup that's the obvious choice, but if he's dying to go then it may well be Cancelo.

Semedo looks to have got form back and Barca want €30m for him?

That's the initial offer from Atletico which will be rejected. He hasn't had a problem with form, he's had the same problem most cules have - Valverde. Either he'll be sold for at least 50m or used as a bargaining chip in the Griezmann transfer. If that's the case, hope Barcelona will consider Wan-Bissaka - who City should be considering instead of Cancelo IMHO

Knowing Pep, he likes versatility and Cancelo can play on either flank which is probably why you are linked to him more
