Joao Cancelo

Not a fan of this one tbh

Is he not good?

Don't know anything about him.

I can see the point in this to be honest. We need a lb which playing with a 3 walker can cover. That would mean and mendy and Cancelo as rwb this will ensure more goals especially when teams like man united park the bus. I would love this because let’s face it Liverpool will get better. They will buy, and if we don’t get our business done smart we gonna be sorry.

He's a good player, no doubt. I just think we have more pressing issues to deal with in the squad unless Pep will route for Walker as a CB option.

Doubt this will affect our priorities at all (DM and CB). Don't worry. Danilo is leaving so i guess we should be happy that we are replacing him with a better player? :)

I certainly hope not. If anything he should be further upfield... his defensive lapses are too common.

IMO the first target is (or must be) Aaron Wan-Bissaka. If he is too expensive Cancelo will be Plan B.
Also Corriere dello Sport, the first who wrote about City and Cancelo, is not a trustfull source.

But since then.....more trustworthy sources have reported it. So it really doesn't matter.

Anyway, i want @Dax777's take on this.

Sam Lee's City sources confirm Cancelo link.

Bear in mind though, Danilo is clearly leaving, so maintaining a well-balanced squad is probably a pressing issue. Our strength is our depth, our ability to rotate with little drop-off. We need to preserve that.

Watching CP games. He`s great defensively though

He's basically restricted from attacking at Palace because the way they set-up. He rarely gets the chance to overlap Townsend. He is actually decent last year. His dribbling, admittedly only one element of attacking play, he is good. I think I read that he had made 40 successful dribbles last season. Pretty sure he has played wing for his country for Congo. I am not claiming he is incredible going forward but he is certainly not poor.
