True. Something wrong with Cancelo.

This would be a stupid deal. Better sell Semedo for 40m, bring back Emerson and use the difference in money to improve other positions, mostly CB and midfield.
Because he can actually defend in opposite to other Pep's defenders.
He would probably also look better offensively having a true winger playing ahead of him instead of Messi who is our on paper RW but always plays centrally. But I think he just needs more space to use his speed and will always struggle in a possesion based team playing against deep sitting defenses so not even Pep would suddenly turn him into a great offensive RB. I often see people still think of Semedo as a young talent who will improve but he will be 27 this year and is what he is at this point of his career.

He's apparently had his fair share of attitude issues and often looked lazy in tracking back and that was one of the main reasons he had a falling out with Allegri at Juve.
I mean if Pep is willing to let him go after once season, then how would someone of Seiten's caliber be able to do something the likes of Allegri and Pep couldn't do? I would rather either let Semedo stay or sell him for a big profit, bring back Emerson and use the money elsewhere.
At least with Emerson, he has the right mentality to improve and is very young and he would be rather cheap.

This dude is sooooo overhyped, only 1 top season in his entire career (with Juve), got benched by Montoya (yes, Martin Montoya) at some point during his time at Valencia because he was atrocius in defense and now is getting benched by fucking 30yo Walker at City lol. Also benched in Portugal by Semedo and Ricardo Pereira lmao.
The fact that Pep wants to get rid of him after spendig +35M not even 1 year ago is self explanatory.

Our scouts were right for a change: this guy is the new Dani Alves and probably City's POTS. I must say I didn't recognize his potential at Valencia (it was much more evident at Inter), he has improved so much.

He was always good in offense but most of the time a joke in the defence. Pep has fixed it.

Well that can happen when you have a WC coach and not Valverde, Setien or Koeman.

Weird dig at Koeman, while he's not a WC coach, many players have improved under him.

you could have a case if koeman came here and improved the likes of semedo, for example.
otherwise who did he improve(from a mediocre player to a good one)? FDJ(who was already labelled as one of the best before coming here) by changing his position on the field?
