    We need to literally rub him on Balde (like literally) so he can learn how to cross and run off the ball effectively

  2. I was getting mass downvoted by experts here when I said it was a good transfer and would help us a lot.

  3. no other jersey fits him better than barca (city one did too) but you get what im saying

    These users primarily criticized his defensive lapses, the financial cost of the loan, his attitude, or his recent stint in Saudi Arabia.

    The following list is in alphabetical order:

    dloban: Stated bluntly that “Cancelo sucks” and described him as an “awful player” in multiple positions.
