Donnarumma; sadly, someone decided I could no longer be part of the group and contribute to the team’s success. I feel deeply disappointed and frustrated.
He refused a new contract before Christmas so they’re cashing in and told him to find a new club this summer. He’d be more than happy to stay an extra year and get a £40m signing bonus next summer. PSG had that happen already with Mbappe hence them moving him on.

But yeah, you knew best.
 
Just get it done
It does seem strange that TH mentioned Ederson said his goodbyes but is still here.

The story that we have to shift Ederson first, under all circumstances, I don’t fully believe given that, after our window closes, we still have 2 weeks to sell to certain nations including Turkey and SA.

At this point I would be very surprised if it didn’t get done…Viana will be anxious to make a statement though.
 
No. Ffs does no **** read a thread these days?
I believe it's less to do with not reading than it is with using a narrative that "helps" their argument. Unfortunately, political types and social media like X/Twitter and Tik Tok have made this practice common and accepted in general society.

PSG being "big spenders" so he must be rubbish is another. They are, and have been, actively trying to reduce their wage bill and building more of a core of young French talent.

I think it was more lowering the price with PSG for Donnarumma?

I keep reading Ederson must go first whatever the reason. I’m just thinking that may not be the case given the window dates. If the date was the same I could understand but maybe we don’t want to send out a signal we are desperate to sell Eddie. Who knows…
 
Frankly social and online media is awash with so much bullshit. None of it is believable unless we have direct quotes, from players, managers or sporting directors.

I wonder if a lot of it is to spread misinformation so people can take advantage of betting on transfer activity.

All we know is

Donnarumma will not be playing for PSG this season. He's a top gk

Ederson has wanted a move for a while but like Bernardo might not get it.

We bought in Trafford so we have 4 gks on the books.

Ortega most likely to leave as he doesn't make the bench at the moment.

The simplest and most logical behaviour would be to persuade Ederson to stay 1 more season, pass on to Trafford his unique skill set, or at least as much as possible, give Trafford domestic Cup games.
 
I think it's sensible to let an unmotivated 32 year old keeper leave and sign a better keeper 5 n 'half years younger who's keen to play for us.
Isn't he only unmotivated cuz we wants the big bucks? Obviously this is a problem of 2 years ago... Should have dashed him the doe he wanted imo.The guy was so perfect for us I'm just not sure how we improve from him

Only Eddie himself knows pal. I assume he's bored here having won so many trophies and wants a new challenge. He turned down the chance to go to Saudi for mega money and it looks like he'll go to Galatassaray. I'm surprised a big European club haven't been in for him.
 
From Turkey they are saying we are waiting to wrap up Donnarumma before giving Ederson the green light. From our side we are saying we are waiting for Gala. So who's lying?
 
May be best to get this done before sunday.
If Trafford plays and makes another mistake, donarumma's price will go up a few million

It won't. We'd play Ederson instead. After the window shuts, Donnarumma's value plummets. Maybe even on the last day of the window as they want to move his wages off the books.
