João Cancelo

[xXKonan]

He basically plays like a winger who is trying to "Defend" when he tracks back.

When he's on it attacking wise he's class but oh boy he's so inconsistent that when he's not having a good game going forward he's a black hole everywhere else.

Not worth the money at this point. Balde/Fort should be our LB pairing going forward.

As SPORT has learned, Joao Cancelo has not quite convinced Hansi Flick but if Barça and City agree on good conditions, he would have no problem having him in his team. What the Barça team is clear about is that they will not make any financial effort for him. If it continues, it will be in the same conditions as last season. Joao Cancelo has a contract with City until June 2027.

Even in attack he isn't anything special. He started the season well in attack but in the second half he didn't create much.

Balde/Faye let's go.

Selling Faye for 15m then paying 12m for Joao doesn't really make that much cap sense or difference.

I wouldn't mind him on one more loan. But after that that's it. His availability and versatility is a big plus especially with our injury prone players. At the moment I don't trust the names that are supposedly going to be our backups.

As long as he plays he won't complain but hopefully Balde can cement his spot at LB and Kounde keeps putting in solid performances at RB so that we won't miss him too much.

 

[TheStig]

He would be great as a backup for both RB and LB but he showed many times that he will make trouble if he is on the bench. We don't need that...

 

[serghei]

Ditch him. Complete liability at the back in what should be his main contribution to this team, due to clown defending. He should go to a B or C club and play as a winger, or as a wingback in a 3-4-3 or 3-5-2. In Portuguese league he could play as a RB/LB also, but not in CL and not at Barcelona.

 

[jamrock]

He's good because he can offer cover on both wings and would be good against most teams in la Liga, just can't start him in serious games and of course it has to be a loan.

He'll go to Saudi if Barca will be smart enough to leave him alone.

This is my thought as well, he's actually the best LB we can have against 90% of the LL teams.

looks like offside but what a pass from Brunooo

edit: should be in EURO thread

Pretty trash in the highlights vs Turkey.

On a super stacked Portugal.

 

[Trafalgar]

I watched the whole match and he was actually very good.
