2 - João Cancelo

[FCBarca]

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

Only a portion (ultimately a third of his net annual wages) - he lowered his wages to fit in the Andreas’ injury slot exception

 

[Loki]

I would rather they save the money for a proper summer transfer.

Saving 5m now won't change anything in the summer window.

I assume it's just the part of his salary we're covering. It's the total cost in any case.

Good, that's what I was thinking too.

 

[TacticsTim]

Why is everyone crying for cbs when fullbacks are the biggest hole in the squad. Not only are kounde and balde garbage they don't even have proper backups

 

[ZenI]

Told ya we'll sign him!
Yo, at least it's going to be a fun watch - I also love that he's a massive Barca fan. Right flank going to be interesting...

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Kounde and Balde have been one of the most complacent players. Cancelo's presence alone should be beneficial.

Great point and especially Kounde can zone out, when playing a lot of games and no competition. Baldes problem is injuries. Great signing for Barca. We needed this.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Have we forgotten PSG home & away in 2024? Looked like a amateur.

He is here to push Kounde and Balde to play better. He is the sub we needed.

 

[TheStig]

He's probably in a bad physical form too, he only played a couple of games this season and even those were in a much lower level.

 

[FinBarcelonafan]

Anyone criticizing this transfer can come up with a better backup/rotation player for a total cost of 4-5m in the traditionally expensive wintermarket, with his experience and needed skillset, right, RIGHT?

Exactly. He gives us good coverage for both sides too, which is very valuable.

How do you know that? It could be but I wouldn't be so sure.

 

[Haraldinho]

I am worried about Saudi League. This is a big help to Penaldo to win it.

 

[iniestaGOAT]

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.

He won't be any worse than full backs we currently have. Who can't defend either.
in fact, he will be better.

If this signing gurantees league title. take ittt

 

[Horatio]

Told ya we'll sign him!

Can you stop with the “call this call that” nonsense yo!

it’s tiring af
