2 - João Cancelo

Treble loading.

Though it was just a joke

Still on form Cancelo would provide a lot creativity on both flank. He and Yamal can be nasty but we have to wait and see. Since he loves Barca so i think he will give his all.

Also Kounde can move back to his favourite position, which mean another CB.

I wasn't happy with him during the second half of the season, as he just fell apart in the CL and the league in a short span of time. But admittedly, the team was on a downward trajectory at that point.

A right flank of Cancelo-Lamine will be a defensive disaster, but it has me intrigued on that attacking aspect though. Attack on steroids to try and limit the damage of the black hole defense.

 

[MonteCuler]

Will he make our defense much worse ? Probably not because it already sucks. No matter how you spin it we will be relying on Joan to deliver something in that regard come big CL games

Will he make our attack much better ? Potentially yes. And very probably yes.

So it's a good signing. Although getting a CB was significantly higher priority, let's hope Jules hasn't forgotten how to do it

Cant wait to see him score against Madrid in the next classico.

Dayyyyummmmm....

Things move fast.

Welcome back to Barcelona. Hope his second spell here is better than his first.

 

[L3v1s]

This came out of nowhere. Though he's probably brought as a backup for Kounde/Balde, unless Kounde gets moved to the centre again?

Maybe Flick will try Kounde CB and see how it works

 

[BJJ]

I rate this 5,/10. Poor Flick. Asks for cb. Gets a full back from Saudi League. And yet posters here will still throwing him under the bus at the first opportunity.

They probably told him you can have Cancelo and make Kounde your new CB signing

Yeah, I can imagine the Catalan media trumping Kounde as the new cb signing. What a joke.

 

[draconifire]

I wasn't aware about Your Game Mr. Flick.

Our defence is in shambles, so you say Fuck It, we go full attack.
Cryuff words at heart. You score 4, we score 6.

Love thai shit.
Inject into my Veins.

 

[kush]

No matter how you slice it, this guy can't defend and is guaranteed to cost goals against in big games. And this team's big problem is leaking goals...

I would rather they save the money for a proper summer transfer. Just play the kids. They can't be worse defensively than Cancelo.

 

[Andresito]

Aren't the numbers that are being mentioned, 4-5m, his salary that we are paying? Don't think we'd pay 5m for half a season loan plus his wages on top of that.

 

[TheStig]

This kind of deals is the most this board is capable of. Mendes is happy, that's the most important thing.

I'm not so sure we'll see Kounde as CB anytime soon as some of you think. I don't think he played a minute as a CB under Flick yet, he sees him as a fullback. Cancelo will cover both flanks but won't be a starter until someone gets injured.
