    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    Dani Alves esque crossing and skillful on the ball (consistently unlike Cuadrado). But clearly worse than Cuadrado defensively, there's no comparison even though Cuadrado himself is just alright. And passing is good in terms of accuracy but not decision-making. Makes amazingly poor awkward...

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    Morata better in CL and don't think Ancelotti's Napoli will be a big threat, so Mandzukic/Morata in Serie A should be fine.

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    Good deal if it's an option that becomes an obligation after meeting certain criteria. Bad deal if it's a loan with obligation.

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    If we do sign him, I assume agreement will only be reached right before Valencia's UEFA deadline. With no/limited competition, we can afford to flirt with Valencia till near deadline, when they'll have to accept a lesser offer and sell another player to pay the 40m. - - - Updated - - -...

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    Cancelo "natural RB," "defend better," and "starter level." :D You'll find out how natural/good a defender he is and how often he starts if we sign him lol. But not likely to happen. We can't be willing to buy him outright or pay 40m, and Valencia surely isn't interested in loaning him out...

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    And he wasn't that critical of him. Just mentioned he got one or two runs wrong.

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    Fact we're looking at Cancelo should tell you Allegri is looking to play an attacking RB in addition to Alex Sandro - even though very un-Italian-like - in an attempt to win the CL. Defensively, Cancelo is far worse than Cuadrado. Ditto in terms of decision-making. Makes odd passes and gives...

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    What emergency? We had the same emergency the whole season. Chances are it'll go on for a while given allegri said his future is there and he performed well. Plus cuadra at rb isn't something new. He played there for Lecce and NT. Just didn't see it happening under allegri, but he's a man of...

    João Cancelo - RB - Valencia CF

    0 chance of paying 40m at any point and 0 chance buying him outright this summer. Can only be a loan. Not bad as Cuadrado insurance - we need one - even though I'd rather the other RB is a more defensive option and not similar attacking type and braindead.
