2 - João Cancelo

[Andresito]

Cancelo in itself might not be the missing piece but if his arrival means Kounde and Balde can step the fuck up a notch or two thanks to the added competition, it's a win.

Deco confirmed we signed Cancelo.

KOUNDE is the worst full back of all time in terms of attacking and defending. Both.
If you think he is better than CANCELO you have lost your mind.

You can't seriously think Cancelo is better defensively than Kounde? And you're saying I've lost MY mind?

Even Flick in the news conference didn't seem that enthused about the addition. He talked about a CB and that the transfer window is still open, suggesting he still wants a CB. However, we all know that Barca probably can't sign anyone else after signing Cancelo.

 

[Porque]

Hopefully we can now bring in Joao Felix to bolster up the attack.

Signing of potential CB would obviously be better than CANCELO.
But we are here copmparing KOUNDE vs CANCELO. Not a CB.

Kounde is a negative on DEFENSE. CANCELO better by default.

KOUNDE FUCKING SUCKS

Flick clearly wanted a cb and stupid Deco brought in Cancelo instead.
It's like asking for a wrench and getting a hammer. Luckily Flick is a team player. Xavi would be losing his mind.

Kounde looked more focused today

What if the only wrenches that are available are made of plastic?

Kounde needs time on the bench.

Not just because he is that bad, but there is a lot of games, and I would rather start him then any other option.

We confirmed his arrival

 

[Andresito]

Passed medical tests and will sign tomorrow.

 

[Barcaman]

Any info about his fitness?

 

[Richard.H]

It is worth playing him over Balde who is either carrying an injury or has completely lost his footballing ways. Everybody talks crap about Kounde, but I think the biggest disappointment (at least for me) has been Balde. What a horrible season he's having.

Same here. Also when you look at the passes completed. Kounde is way more involved. Also provides some stability to Lamine.
Balde on the other hand offers 0 going forward and is not a good defender.

Cancelo (2023 at least) is an instant upgrade for left side.
