Not really. From what we've heard Ederson is getting the same treatment Bernardo has gotten in the past - you can go IF someone makes a suitable offer.

The default is Ederson and Trafford are our keepers this season.

All the links in the press have said Donnarumma is only going to happen if Ederson leaves, which seems insane to me, but if that's the case Galatasaray aren't being smart at all, they're just running out of time to up their offer.
Apparently the Turkish window closes two weeks afterwards ours closes. Does that mean we can still do deals with Turkish clubs after our window closes?

Yes, but the only way I see that being relevant is if they deicde to buy Ortega, because we're not going to sell them Ederson when we can no longer replace him (unless Pep decides to got with Ortega/Trafford which seems unlikely)

Well we're going into the season without a right back so don't rule anything out
 
Since we are letting this last for 3 weeks can we also start working on finalizing Savinho/Rodrygo + right back situations? Because if we wait until goalkeeper situation is done the other 2 will be delayed until January.
 
They are not really right backs though are they.

And who decides that? Zinchenko wasn't a LB until Pep put him at left back at 20 and now he's been a LB for 9 years and has played 90% of his professional games there. Is he a left back yet?

John Stones has probably played more games in his career at RB than Livramento - which one's a RB?

If there was a Kyle Walker replacement the club would go out and buy him.

There isn't. So we could either buy a substandard RB just so a bunch of posters on here can be happy we finally bought someone wikipedia calls a RB, or Pep can put his trust in players he rates and win around it like he did all those years with Delph and Zinchenko and all the trophies that brought.

I guarantee if you got what you wanted (some random RB just so you can feel better that we have one) it would just be Angelino all over again. He'd sit on the bench watching the "not really right backs" play ahead of him because they're better players.
 
Have a feeling this doesn’t get done as we will be too loyal to ederson and prob let him stay for another season and then go for a free . We cannot afford to let this one not get done .
 
No, we're going into the season with 2/3 RB's, you just don't rate them. It's not the same thing.
Nunes is a failed midfielder who has been asked to play right back. I'll accept that Lewis is actually right back but with him only being 20 and still learning the game, he's not currently good enough for us. I honestly don't know who the 3rd is.
 
Sky Sports touching themselves begging the rags to sign him.
It could happen. I remember we were in to sign Falcao on loan , rags hadn’t been mentioned and all of a sudden he signed for them. People on here genuinely were mocking Sky saying that they had mistakenly called us Manchester United

Akanji/Stones would be the third option.

Over 10yrs ago mate, let it go.
 
Why do we have to sell Ed before signing The Don? What difference does it make, if Ed wants out, hes history, get on with the Don irrespective.
Now if only our board would do that. We are moving as slow as snails, as if we don't need the reinforcements asap..
