Joao Cancelo

[leo_city]

Perhaps, but all players, and especially those of Cancelo's age, calibre and price, don't sign for us to sit on the bench. They care very much and the 'two contenders for every position' argument doesn't make a scrap of difference to them if they don't start.

If he doesn't see himself as a regular starter in future then he won't commit lol init. It's simple, seeing as nothing's quite done yet. 2 players per position does make a big difference to them, anyone signing knows it's not an easy route to starting XI, no matter what their price tag or calibre. It's about taking up a challenge really

That's the whole point friend, if he signs it won't be to sit on our bench and we won't be paying out €50m for him to do that either. So who does? lol init etc

What are you getting at lol how do you know we won't pay that sum for him even if it means he is not guaranteed first team football right away?
Him and Walker will get gametime depending on their form and the kind of opposition we will face. Doesn't mean he signs for whatever price just to sit bench. He will contribute, ideally more than Danilo who failed to give Walker much competition and hence why a different option is needed . Walker the more defensive/ senior man and Cancelo the younger/ more attacking player. No harm in paying whatever fee to add quality to squad depth

Think more apt would be work hard on finding Danilo a new club IF he wants to leave AND pep approves

Be ready for a last minute change of mind or contract renewal given how some of Italian media works, just in case. Still seems too good of a player to just let go of like that unless they are in serious need of funds and if the whole FFP compliance bit is true.

Also seems weird because ideally we'd get rid of Danilo first to bring him in. Danilo still has interest registered from practically no one as things stand and the only club that he was to go to backed out because Conte doesn't seem him worthy.

I wonder how long it took him to pack

Would be an exciting signing because of the alternative attacking dynamic he’d bring as a RWB.

Would be happy to have whom come here , but how will be come here , before Danilo is sold + now the club we will try selling Danilo too will know we are desperate to get him off our books

But if we sell Danilo first, Juve could ask more all of sudden. We get shafted in any case.
