United should be all over Danilo. Whether we’d sell to them is another thing though.
This would make me ill.

Does Cancelo in necessarily mean Danilo out? What if Pep has plans to move him into CB?
I doubt Pep intends to play Cancelo at CB.

Danilo is surely a 40 mil player in this market. At that he is still a bargin
I meant Danilo, who’s played at CB for us before.I doubt Pep intends to play Cancelo at CB.
Not really, we paid €27m for him, and he's played even less for us than he did at Madrid. Getting €20-25m for him would be more than decent. Just depends who really wants him. Been quiet on all fronts regarding him recentlyDanilo is surely a 40 mil player in this market. At that he is still a bargin

This lad started playing as a left back at Benfica and I think played there recently for Portugal.

Hi Guys... first post here...
Just want to start off by saying that I'm very pleased that Pep is targeting two more full backs, especially if Danilo is leaving. This is a position which is so important to Pep's system, you could argue that it is the most important position considering what they bring to his system.
1. Both full backs have to be comfortable to come inside to the central of midfield, be good in possession of the ball, win the ball back when needed and provide that midfield dominance on the ball which is essential to the system. Pep loves to play in triangles so the more players around the midfield area, the more options the team has of finding one another with a pass. You have the two full backs just behind the two number 8s De Bruyne and Silva with Fernandinho sitting if needed to provide a shield for the centre backs.
2. The full backs in Pep's system have to be able to attack very well. Angelino and Cancelo are two players who love to maraud forward, have plenty of pace and energy and two players who can create chances at will for our attacking players. I love how Pep's system works when the two full backs bomb forward, the two wingers, i.e. Sterling and Bernardo come inside and play closer to Aguero which creates an overload for the opposition. You have then essentially 5 attacking players in Angelino, Cancelo, Sterling, Bernardo and Aguero pushing the opposition back and flooding the attacking area. The two number 8s De Bruyne and Silva have more options then to pick a pass. This creates a triangle between Silva, Angelino and Sterling and another triangle between De Bruyne, Cancelo and Bernardo. This is why it is absolutely crucial that Pep has the right personnel at full back.
Pep's system is like clockwork. It really is artistry. Genius at work.

Aside the system working the main reason for targeting Cancelo is because Danilo has failed to give Walker the sort of competition Guardiola hoped for. Evident based on the amount of games Walker's had to play despite dip in form.
Not that Cancelo is good defensively but he will keep Walker on his toes, also because he has to fight for his spot in national side and he'll have the incentive of doing so making headlines under Guardiola.

I agree with you.
Danilo is a very accomplished full back, but I think Cancelo is naturally a far more talented player than Danilo. He is more of the archetypal Pep footballer.
Cancelo is better on the ball and he's much better going forward. Remains to be seen if he's better defensively, but we are in possession of the ball 70% of the game anyway. The pros will definitely outweigh the cons if we do sign him.

Cancelo has a problem temperament. Risk laden.

Is this guy an upgrade on Danilo ??
I think Danilo is a very accomplished RB, we'd be crazy to replace him at a significant $ loss unless his replacement is a step up in class

He reminds me in full flow of Dani alves at Barca under pep? Fast, tricky, can get up and down the right side all game and will add another dimension to the attack. I like Danilo a lot but Cancelo is levels above Danilo imo.

If we can get him, he will cause carnage going forward mate! Admittedly defending isn’t his strongest point but alves was t great at that either?! Lol

He’s a lot like Michael Frontzeck, with a touch of Jason Van Blerk.... !
