Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[Stoned Rose]

Enrique:
Donna, you go first, scope the joint out and I’ll see you next year. Ok kiddo?

I usually fast forward this bit.

 

[Damanino]

he will be in a bit of shock to go from treble winner PSG ad that level of high tactical performance Enrique put together last season to something like we have no at City served up by Pep. no defence, no midfield controlling games and very easy to defend attacking play. no pressing, no tracking back and just panic defending most of the time.

but how we went from treble winning to this in so short time is sick.:(

I think it is a coup. I associate Donnarumma with PSG winning the Champions League. I know that there are some fans who think his style doesn't suit City but last season PSG were just an amazing football side and I was jealous watching them. If Donnarumma can excel in such a good footballing side, then why can't he do the same at City?

If we can make this signing it will remind City players, fans and the rest of football, that City are still in business.

What I mean by it not being a coup is that is the level of player we can attract. It would be a coup for Leeds, Villa for example.

Breaking on Sky Italia.

He’s signed.

You watching transfer deadline day too?

Charlie Austin won't be invited back saying Tesco will be a miss at the rags.

I wonder what Trafford was told before this signing and again now. Perhaps he knew all along perhaps not. I think we will probably know the answer to this one eventually.

I think Trafford will be gone by next season. There’s no way he’s come to sit on the bench and he’s too good not to be playing regularly

 

[Semper aggressus]

Brilliant signing, very happy with this. Exactly the sort of star signing and top class player we need, one of the best in his position.

I phoned work to say my internet is fucked just so I can sit and watch deadline day like a child.

Oh we signing Donna and we know where the media will go about its reporting it be all about Trafford “did he know he was coming in to be 2nd goalie” “will Trafford want out in January”

Liverpool sign a striker Etique now isak they’ll be none of poor old Etique it be Liverpool have a top quality attack

PSG fans are unbothered by him leaving. Should tell you something.

There are some on here who have their heads placed firmly in the sand over his kicking and passing.

Pep will not be changing how he wants the team to play to accomodate his lack of passing skills.

 

[Craig]

Will instantly make us a better team

In isolation this is a great signing, people are just upset we haven't signed a right back and addressed other areas

Trafford played well so far this season, but he's not a no1 at this level just yet

Donnarumma, Nunes(!), Stones, Gvardiol, Ait Nouri, Rodri, Reijnders, Foden, Cherki, **top class winger**, Haaland

Wouldn't be a bad side, but feels like we are just short in quality at RB and on the wings

And left back

maybe Pep will take a inspiration from Stuart Pearce

 

[decmancity]

Is that not a red flag in itself? The fact that we're willing to pay him wages PSG think he's not worth? Not exactly tight arses, are they?

And I'm pretty sure Enrique did want to replace him with a better on the ball keeper. People on here seem to only want to focus on his great form in the CL last season but he was pretty shit in the league.

Not a red flag no. They aren’t tight arses no, so why have they kept him for two seasons when apparently he needed to be replaced? We didn’t make Pep play Hart for two years did we.

They also had a market opportunity to buy Chevalier, so the stars aligned.

Can he bring their right back with him….

There’s enough negative bollox threads already so you don’t need to infect this one as well, ffs.

Facing a rape charge with potentially 15 years in prison.

 

[walker_is_faster]

This is very expensive transfer if you count all thing.

I do feel sorry for Trafford. The way we've gone about this is bizarre, we should have signed Donnarumma first and then considered Trafford as an Ortega replacement. I'm ecstatic we're signing him, because he's a brilliant keeper, but Trafford is now going to be bench warming for a season. Whether we like it or not, he'll feel the club have been dishonest with him.
