What's happening.
Don't chicken out on me

Joao Cancelo mk2 ?

Plays like a mix between Mendy and some Dutch kid who was hot a few years back that played for PSV... His name evades me now.

 

[Dax777]

He's a bit expensive for an unproven teen. But if we have enough money to get him and Haaland then who am I to complain. Fuck it, get Zakaria as well.

Meh! He can stay

Just been called up to the Portugal squad. Guessing we may let them have Porro if we do a deal with them. Porro has been called up to the Spain squad as well.

Still dont understand how Porro is worth 10 mill and mendes 50 mill.

Only way signing a left back makes sense with our current squad is to sign a kid like him and leave him there for another year then he comes and takes another year to learn Peps methods.

It's easy to say replace mendy but if we bring in somebody who is going to be fit and vying for a place every week it becomes significantly harder to keep everybody happy.

We currently have the options of playing cancelo laporte or ake at left back, that helps to make sure both right backs and 4 centre backs are happy with their game time, add another left back and you take away most if not all of chances to play any of those mentioned there and you risk making upto 4 other players unhappy with their gametime.

May sound daft but mendy being unreliable/out of favour as our second left back is secretly a blessing in disguise in terms of squad harmony

Still dont understand how Porro is worth 10 mill and mendes 50 mill.

Porro has a €8.5m release clause apparently (for Sporting). Otherwise we'd probably value him at around €25m.

Many clubs in the race BUT none are paying €70m ! FFS
