Right wing Mendy-like bombs?

honestly might be better.

Mendy's crosses are excellent, he fizzes them in fast and low, which is great because our team isn't tall. Cancelo can do similar, but cancelo is more agile and a better dribbler and passer. When Mendy is out wide I know he's going to run to that byline and cross. Cancelo can make that turn and get into the box and create more opportunities. Him on that right with Bernardo will be our thrift store Messi + Alves.

Similar. Can't see Pep playing them together in important matches tho. Unless he goes for 3 at the back

yeah I can see him coming back with the 3-5-2 which he used a few times 2 seasons ago, which demolished a few teams. He stopped using the 3-5-2 when Mendy went down.

I'm really sad Valencia had to sell him. Dude was on the come up. They've had to sell so many promising players for cash.

I read something about teams having to let him go easily because he lacks tactical discipline or some shyt like that.

If Sane leaves, I think he'll use the 3-5-2 more often. But where does that leave Mahrez?

This is true, but Valencia was hit badly during the global financial crisis. So many players had been sold to service their debts.

Mata, D. Villa, D. Silva, Joaquin, Soldado, Bernat, Alba, Cancelo, Alcacer. The list goes on

Spurs about to fukk about and have the best summer?

Already got Ndombele,

Apparently agreed a one off loan fee of 11mil with no further wages for coutinho for 1 season (Levy in Miami cutting that deal :mjpls:)
70mil agreed with Juve for Dybala
50mil bid sitting with Betis for Lo Celso with the player already agreeing terms
Bruno Fernandez maybe coming too?

If only Lo Celso happened that would be enough, with Eriksen going to Utd/Juve for a decent fee :mjgrin:
