Joao Cancelo

[Big Yaya Wilko 12]

for fucks sake why. surely even from a business perspective the single digits are the most marketable.



i mean by that logic he should have "27 + danilo"

Apparently Angelino will wear 3. Gutting because I was excited to see someone rocking 12 after it being vacant for so long.

Look at all the greats who've worn that shirt for us - Rae Ingram Egil Ostenstad Mikkel Bischoff Hatem Trabelsi Benjani Mwaruwari and Jô !!!

How longs his contract for?

A week with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another with an option of another week with an option of another and carry on till he leaves.

We are saving 12 for our cult hero - Kante says he will only come back if he can wear the number 12 shirt !!!

Its like Txiki uses the football manager autonumber. Infuriating.

Elland Road has boards all around with the 'legendary' players to wear each number from 1 to 10. Not saying I like it but at this rate if we ever did the same thing (in 10 years time or whatever) it would be "legendary 33s, 34s, 35s, 45s".

Was typing the above out as you posted this, glad I'm not the only one who thinks like this!

They've robbed Angelino and now Paddy - disgraceful!!

 

[BamberBridgeBlue]

I think he was being a little sarcastic at my post mate, though I didn't slag off any players, just opinions about our left back situation.

They do say sarcasm is the lowest form of wit. I shall desist.

 

[Scottish Cityzen]

What do Sky sources understand?

Sky Sports app no longer even has it as a story...

Can anyone recommend another football scores/news app?

Jesus Oakie! Thanks for highlighting my point.

That’s an average of 1.75, hardly longevity!

Edit: It’s actually not 1.75 if you include city. That’s 5 clubs in 7 years. It’s actually a move every 1.4 years.

And each move over the past 5 years has resulted in him becoming one of the top players in Europe.
Sometimes a move is because you are wanted in a better league.Its NOT done him any harm so far only by fucking useless stats in your eyes.

 

[oakiecokie]

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.

Some people prefer stats over anything as logical as your point MH.

Oakie, your going off the rails here a bit fella.

If you want to scroll back and highlight where I have suggested that any of what you have just said is anything but true.

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.

Cancelo won’t be asked to play in the same way as Walker, I doubt there will be many 40 yard sprints back to stop a counter attack.

So why make the point then ref his short term career/s at his various clubs ?

Because I thought it was an interesting thing to share. Wasn’t using it as a tool to beat him with.

I rate the lad highly, and hope Pep can get some longevity out of him.

I have to say I'm the opposite. The last attacking fullback Pep invested in was Dani Alves, who not only went on to become the most decorated player in history, but was as important tactically to Pep's Barca side as Xavi or Messi.

He can play RB and RW, he has the ball playing ability to come inside, he can make passes that you'd associate more with attacking midfielders than fullbacks.

I think Pep loves Walker, he plays him in pretty much every game he can, so spending basically €60m on Cancelo isn't just to replace Danilo as 2nd choice RB. I think he's seen something in this kid and has big plans for him.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Eager to see this kid play following all the posts who rate the lad

Danilo was a good option but by all accounts Cancelo is the real deal

Wish Dani all the best at juve

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.

So that’s why we got rid of Kante - “now the biting makes sense”

And he can play left back.

And why Rodri has Rodrigo on his shirt ;)
