Joao Cancelo

Why would walker be a good cb? He’s declining in his best position? Where has this idea emerged from?

If Cancelo signs, I'm sure we're signing him as a starter. Not sure Pep has been convinced with Walker this season, and this proposed signing will keep Kyle right on his toes, is Cancelo better defensively or are they both just decent at attacking?

The idea is absurd. RCB in Pep's 343 and 'conventional' CB are 2 different roles. You need a good awareness for the latter position, and Walker's weakest point is his low footballing IQ. He'd be a disastrous CB. Besides, KW is not that great in the air - don't know the stats, just my impression.

Cant see this happening just doesnt make sense.

Since when has Walker been decent at attacking?

I think it makes sense.

Not a signing I expected but better strengthen now than when it becomes a weakness.

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.

Benny is a left back

Should be easy to get over the line when Pep is simultaneously selling and buying the player

Haven't watched cancelo at all but I guess pep felt walker needed top class competition. Danilo, good utility player, but wasn't providing that. Walker hasn't performed at his best, some crucial mistakes then dropped. Could be post WC drop off or maybe pep saw something he didn't like. Anyway always good to have competition keep them on their toes.

Bernie's got Pep addicted to Portugese players
