Danilo is more adept to italian league but Cancelo is a better and more offensive player.
Dani Alves and Cancelo did wonders they just aren't that defensively good so you need cover ups in a league where R/L bakcs are added defenders rather than offensive players.
It's as if we sold Hakimi or Theo Hernandez... and I'd like both here

Dani Alves was a whole different level to Cancelo. For him you make the necessary sacrifices, especially in his prime we are talking about a player that is on the lists of all-time great right backs.
Cancelo was not this for us, and is not this for City. The way Pep plays is too different for us as well.
Theo is a lot more complete as well. Really attacking but doesn't discard defensive details like Cancelo or Hakimi. Theo plays in a back 4 for Milan. Hakimi is the definition of a wingback, for Inter or for Dortmund.
So if we will play with a back 3 with wingbacks then players like Cancelo and Hakimi make sense. In a back 4 Danilo or Theo are better.
I think with Pirlo we would not see Danilo vs Cancelo if we had both, but Cancelo vs Cuadrado or Chiesa.

he's someone who can make the difference, so in that sense, he might be considered a missed opportunity. but pep had to work on him for 1,5 seasons to achieve some kind of tactical discipline and defensive solidity. he was kind of an idiot with concentration issues and consequently a true defensive liability, just look at the ajax games for prime examples. we also were in desperate need of plusvalenza, so there's that too.
i do think that letting spina go and getting pellegrini in return was a genuine mistake. considering the circumstances, the cancelo-danilo swap and the plusvalenza that came with it is acceptable to me. danilo is having a great season on either sides of the defense, that helps too.

Cancelo is clearly the better wingback than danilo. Yes, more offensive, so rather comparable with Cuadrado.
Danilo was also a good deal for us in the end, since he's a great fit as CB as well, even better than as a wingback imo.
But i'd love to have kept him Cancelo, not gonna lie. His first half of the season was immense, the second part after the injury wasn't. Now he's back to great again.
We should have sold them Berna. I'm sure Cancelo is better in every position than Berna ever will be.
