[Albion] João Cancelo

[Juan Albion]

Guardian says we are signing João Cancelo from Manchester City. Hadn't seen this mentioned anywhere.

No chance.

Think you’ve got Brighton and Barcelona mixed up. Which is understandable at the moment.

Not me. Just quoting the Guardian. "To nobody’s surprise, João Cancelo is for the off, and he’s headed to Brighton."

The Guardian definitely reported that. I saw it too in their transfer round-up section. Plainly nonsense.

What did Barber say? Was it 99 out of 100 that are nonsense, or 999 out of 1000?

Still, a rumour is a rumour, and worth mentioning anyway.

It's not you, it's the Grauniad that have obviously cocked up. He's going to Barça.

To be fair, though, you could understand why he would want to move to a higher ranked team. But you wouldn't really expect Citeh to sell to title rivals.

0.1% is still a chance and not zero. We laugh but who knows. Would happily have to read 1000 rumours like this if someone of his caliber actually signed.

Classic Guardian error:

'Breakthrough expected soon' - Barcelona edging closer to sealing Joao Cancelo signing from Manchester City | Goal.com UK

Barcelona are hoping to complete the signing of Joao Cancelo from Manchester City in the coming week.

Barcelona rule out Iván Fresneda signing ahead of João Cancelo arrival

The club has officially withdrawn their interest

Sunday's gossip: Cancelo, Balogun, Tavares, Kolo Muani, Partey, Kudus, Tierney, Henderson - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/66555569

And on and on. Might be best to kill this thread?

Brighton, Barcelona, easy mistake to make these days.

Not me. Just quoting the Guardian. "To nobody’s surprise, João Cancelo is for the off, and he’s headed to Brighton."

Maybe he's having a nice weekend away by the seaside?

 

[Baldseagull]

It's a player swap for Andi Zeqiri.

To be fair, though, you could understand why he would want to move to a higher ranked team. But you wouldn't really expect Citeh to sell to title rivals.

.............and you wouldn't expect us to pay the wages involved.

 

[Live by the sea]

His salary is got to be around £125k pw , so unless he’s agreed a substantial pay cut it’s very unlikely !

Na we are better than Barcelona.

 

[Javeaseagull]

Obviously nonsense. He reputedly wants to play all the time which is why he went on loan.He isn’t getting in ahead of Pervis. Someone is on drugs.

 

[Bombardier]

Just assume poor, lazy reporting by the Guardian?

 

[Marshy]

jees, absolutely no chance
