Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[Cobwebcat]

This lad is going to be under insane pressure. The media knows

I think he is used to it by now.

 

[BlueMonkey79]

All our best signings had some idiot in the press telling us they were gonna be shit.

Remember Merson telling us KDB was gonna be an epic failure.

 

[doobyedoobye]

I think he is used to it by now.

I think there are levels are the prem is many levels above L1

 

[pudge]

Remember Merson telling us KDB was gonna be an epic failure.

To be fair he also said Gonzalez was a waste of a signing and wouldn't play

 

[Earlyriser]

I'll be honest, I've loved this guy ever since he emerged as a ridiculous 17 year-old. Absolutely insane to be starting for Milan at that age as a goalkeeper.

So Milan were happy to 'invest' in a young goalkeeper but we are not

 

[Cobwebcat]

I think there are levels are the prem is many levels above L1

But behind the CL which he won.

Lord, to have Joao Neves in our midfield... Aside from all his other talents, I didn't think he had goals like this in his locker

‘Not good enough’, ’not City standard’, ‘too young’, ‘too small’, ‘plays in Portugal!’, and ‘Otamendi is still playing for them’. Just a smattering of the views of the denizens here.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

He brings a huge amount of ability, winning mentality and experience on the big stage

It will be interesting to see if he can make our defence's confidence increase so much so, that it makes them up there game and performance

He isnt as good as Eddy with the ball at his feet, but again Eddy was a freak at that

Only time will tell

 

[doobyedoobye]

But behind the CL which he won.

I think the prem has far more toxic scrutiny than any comp by a distance

 

[thebiglug]

Great news. Great keeper.


There is nothing negative about one of the best keepers around coning, especially one that's proven he can cut it at the highest levels in big games.

We might win penalty shootouts too!

this is one of the biggest missed opportunities for us

This lad is going to be under insane pressure. The media knows

For all my doubts about this signing, I don't think he'll give a single shit about any media pressure.

 

[mosssideblue]

Psg didin't want him any more, he is in his last year of contract.
And high wage.
It's a gamble like any transfer but do we need this gamble with other problems we have.

You specifically said expensive, how so?
Also, I suspect our board may have the nouse to deal in parallel with transfers

 

[PistonBlue]

I wonder if Trafford could do a job at right back?

 

[I'm With Stupid]

So Milan were happy to 'invest' in a young goalkeeper but we are not

To be fair, they won fuck all while he was there and won the league the year after he left.

But let's be honest, if Trafford is good enough, he'll be first choice. If he isn't, he won't. Either way, City benefit.

 

[city9320]

The medical is in Italy as he's with the national squad

Then he's flying to Manchester

 

[ancoats]

Get to fuck ????

Pep head has gone, why sign Trafford and make him sit on the bench

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Remember Merson telling us KDB was gonna be an epic failure.

Remember Robbie Savage saying he wouldn't pay to watch de Bruyne but he'd pay to watch that Michael Taryan bloke they signed from Dortmund.

 

[Coatigan]

Then he's flying to Manchester

Some reports claim he won't come till after the international break. If there is any truth in that.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Get to fuck ????

Pep head has gone, why sign Trafford and make him sit on the bench

So we can get back to winning that sweet, sweet Carabao Cup.
