Joao Cancelo

From City’s point of view they make more money from double digit numbers as they charge £5 per number on shirt sales. That’s the business model here. They prefer to sign players with longer names too, hence the transfer of Jo, and the second signing of Wright Phillips.

It’s £12.95 whatever player or name and number is on the shirt.

The one I am not particularly excited about. Definite improvement over Kyle (and Danilo) going forward, because he is more of a wing-back with very good ball-skills, and also he can play LB. But in a pure defensive role I would always pick Kyle (and Danilo). Let see how he react to being inverted and making defensive runs longer than 40 yards.

To be fair, I think he's (and would be) more comfortable showing his athletic ability with long defensive runs chasing down counter-attacks than having to keep his focus in a lined-up defence.

in this case also, he wanted to leave Juventus and join City. He apparently made the Juve board aware of this.

He was not pushed from Juve.

According to whom? I have no doubt he wanted to come to you since players can't yet be coerced to go to a club they don't like; all summer there's been rumours of our board willing to let him go for the right offer and seeking a replacement/to cache in though. Just a matter of perspectives I guess.

Good point well made.

Twelve fucking ninety five?

I’d expect it to be hand stitched by naked virgins for that price.

Who said he's two footed? Thats wrong.

Most people have two feet.

So we get a decent full back who can play on the wing as well and our resident full back can occasionally switch to centre half thus meaning we can switch from a 4 to a 3 on the fly.

Nice.


My only problem with this is our left side. Mendy better be fit otherwise we are relying on Zin, that Dutch kiddie and Cancelo as cover.

When you say that Dutch kiddie, do you mean Angeliño, who’s Spanish?
