Those three are more balanced than he is certainly, i think he is better going forward but they are certainly better at the back, contrary to what many believe here, Fullbacks needs to be able to defend too, Cancelo just doesn't have the defensive instinct, as a wingback or a wide midfielder he would be amazing, i dont trust him at all as a Fullback

Why do you think Cancelo's better than TAA going forward? TAA was on monster form offensively last season, especially end of it. In the crunch matches from April on he played 10 games and provided 10 assists, including 4 in CL knockouts. Season total was 1g16a, while Cancelo had 1g5a. This one below was my favorite:

Also playing for Klopp vs playing for Allegri last season is two different things. TAA is very impressive as an attacker though, his dead ball and cross in particular. Ok defender as well.

It's not that dissimilar, both Juve and Pool used their wings a lot, probably because midfield isn't capable of providing enough creativity. Sure TAA racked up some of those assists from FK situations, but 16 assists for a fullback is out of this world regardless, even prime Marcelo, playing for Madrid that scored ~150 goals every season, didn't manage to get that.

Klopp is my dream manager! IMO he has the most updated approach to football - his 2 times final in a row isnt a fluke IMO...
Then there are others like Guardiola and Sarri (although Sarri is not on Pep`s level) who both has nice ideas to fit the modern game
Im not talking about who is the best but Im saying their approach is the most modern one which means better fit for today`s football...

He is tbe best full back in the world going forward. Losing him is the biggest mistake we could ever done.
I dont know if he is the best but he is certainly one of the best
The annoying thing is who I rate as the best RB is Alves who just does wonders with his role - definitely top 5 in his position (all time)

This might be a stretch, but maybe the thought of him being on the transfer market had an adverse effect on him, in that he doesn't want to leave. If Allegri was one of the reasons for his discontent last year, and now a far more offensive minded coach is here, common sense would dictate that he would be happier here.

He cant defend. When trying to defend he reminds me of this:

Selling him would be as bad as selling Pogba in 2016.
This guy has the most dribbling in the league and his play making abilities are top notch. Personally I wouldn't sell him even for 100m . fullbacks like him are rarity these days.

Forza Cancelo, stay here as a Juventino.

He was used continuously to relieve pressure when the spurs were pressing. He also was a constant threat. I don't think selling him is bright.
