Sometimes my mind cant help but tend to wonder… where and why did it all go wrong?

  1. Probably when he gobbed off and threw a ball at pep in training because he was put into rotation like 90% of the other players on the team.

    He’s talented but doesn’t have the temperament to be in a Pep team.

  2. We don’t win the Champions League with him in defense, glad his gone.

  3. Overrated. During his “amazing” season he took 76 shots and only scored once. Let that sink in…..

  4. If he wasn’t a knob it wouldn’t have gone as wrong as it did.

    No idea where he’d have fit in these last 2 seasons though. The back 4 is so much better without him in it.

  5. Cancelo was quite inconsistent even while in possession, but people aren’t ready for that convo.

    Case in point- the fall off in 20/21 where Zinny benched him, the fall off in 21/22 post April or so.

    And obviously, 22/23.

    Attitude and all made it easier to move him.

  6. When he decided he wanted to try and control Pep’s team selection.

    He had a bad patch of form and Rico displaced him for a few games and he threw a fit.

    The lad was legitimately world class when at his best but once you attempt to undermine Pep just as some did with the Scotsman at the rags you were done, they don’t care how good you are, you’re done.

    All about mentality.

  7. I mean, I don’t hate a player for wanting to play more, but his discipline was too disrespectful. Pep’s the boss and their job is to listen. This is just on his discipline.

    His play: I feel he kinda always wanted to do his own thing. He was never the reliable kind of guy. Walker on the other hand has been reliable for us since day 1 (and he was the first signing of the team rebuild). Walker shuts his mouth and does the job, but Joao opens his mouth and doesn’t do the job.

  8. He has been impetuous at every club and is disliked by every manager he has worked with. Some young men just don’t work well with others.

  9. He deserve all the hate. He is a good player but we are done with that shitty attitude

  10. Cancelo got a bit too big for his boots and didn’t like Pep’s rotation system.

  11. Sometimes you gotta get rid of the cancer to keep the culture of the locker room in tact.

  12. Getting him out was One of the better things to happen to the team that year. Pep went with a more defensive solid back line and John stones was about hit his peak in his new role.
