Jesus Christ he has not replaced Cancelo. Cancelo was moved forward because they were totally slow and inefective in the attack! When they played against us he actually destroyed Digne. Did you ever watch Cancelo? Have you watched him playing for Portugal? Ever!? You can't even compare Cancelo and Montoya. One of them has true potential and another will never be good.
Have you ever watched Srna? I respect him a lot. He was one of the bes RB's in the world when he was at his prime. In his early ages when playing for Hajduk and national team he was more RM and RW than RB. He had something Cancelo has today. He had speed, stamina, pace, good cross and he could make overlaping attacking runs. He leared how to defent at Shakhtar. I do not see why Cancelo could not learn that as well.
That was a reason but defense was another reason,they wouldn't have sacrificed his attacking attributes as FB if it wasn't for his lack of defense.
And again the whole making a player learn is too risky and can go both ways.
We made Mascherano learn CB position and Pep thought he can do the same with Busquets and it was ugly,then Tito decided he can do it with Song and was even worse.
Same for RB,tried to make both Vidal & S.Roberto as RB and worked for one not the other.
Thing is both Mascherano & Roberto was already in the team when we changed their positions but with Vidal & Song we basically poured money down the drain.
It is just too risky tbh,we need to take less of those risks tbh because this team is always filled with some dead weights because of it.
