Looks a talent, would really pressure Trips. I do wonder if he would come without 1st team gaurantees

Might be wrong, but isn't his defending a bit suspect? Might be getting confused with someone else though here as I said.

I think it is but he's very young and Poch has an unbelievable record with full-backs so I wouldn't be too worried. I think Pereira may be better defensively but he's much slighter (I think Cancelo is 6'0") so could be less adaptable to the PL?

True regarding Poch, and he does have quite a big reputation. It would be a sign of ambition to bring either him or Pereira in.

I wouldn't say this guy is better than pereira he is completely different in style. He is a lot more technical in his attacking and like Alli likes his megs. Pereira is more outright pace like Walker. Defensively i would say pereira is better suited to prem due to his physical side but both offer something different and you could potentially sign both as they are both very attack minded but cancelo is more likely to be caught as his concentration can let him down

My god, if we signed this guy I wouldn't blame Kane for leaving. He never puts a first time cross in. He dummies several times waiting for all the defenders to get back in place. Much rather have Perriera.

So, Kane may leave, if we sign Cancelo...Heard some weird things in SC, this tops it all :confused:

Umm, did you read the rest of the post? I'm just saying that he never seems to put a first time cross in, ya know, like the one we scored yesterday. i.e., the striker would get fed up. Not a crystal ball, not saying he doesn't like him, literally saying the guy likes to dally with his crosses in to the box. That ok with ya?

There we go. Look at my tweet above to JJ - he's clearly a target. Although it does look like Juve will get him (which should mean we have a free run at Pereira).
I think you might have summed the situation up there. Basically whoever Juve don't go for with Toljan as a backup I reckon.

So a perfect replacement for Kyle Walker? Great!

Well, for starters Kane has played for nearly 4 years with Walker, who never crosses or crosses well. He hasn't left has he ?

I will be honest - I really dont have much idea on Cancelo - only seen him on few occasions. But what I do know is current Valencia team, do not have a Kane like striker or a Dele like second striker or a playmaker like Eriksen to play alongside. Nor do they have a midfield of Wanyama , Dembele or a top class CBs.

So, I will probably give the benefit of doubt to him before slagging him.

Or, watch some of his games before trying to make a smart arse comment? Fair do's though, each to their own.

mmm....That does not make anysense...For starters, if your comments had less drama & more substance, I may listen to you - not 'Kane may leave if we sign him'

And why would anyone believe you for scout report on Cancelo & not our scouting team who do their due diligence ?
