Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[madloaf]

It’s blue moon, it’s a suicide fest

...We've gotta get out while we're young

Coz tramps like us...

 

[SWP's back]

‘They’ reckon it’s a done deal and will be announced tomorrow.
(Don’t ask who they are) ; )

I thought the deadline was midnight or so?

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

He’s in Rome won’t be anything happing till after the Qualifiers

 

[I'm Blue]

I’ve only seen Johnny (Typical City) do that. Never seen this bloke before

He’s been around a while.
First video I watched was him breaking down 115.
Did a decent job as I recall.
He’s also on quite abit with LB and is on ‘we are the south stand’ with Big Steve.
I don’t always agree with his takes but didn’t think what he said on SSN was that bad.
Anyway each to their own.

They know the final paperwork deadline is 1200am so they aren't going out on a limb, but the deal had to be done practically complete by 7pm. It is likley to be tomorrow before it is clear.

 

[bell_mcfc]

Several reports suggest official announcement tomorrow

 

[I'm Blue]

I thought the deadline was midnight or so?

Well it’s 7pm, unless you submit a deal sheet then it can be extended by 2 hours, but I also heard earlier 1am so fuck knows.
There’s also the unwritten rule that if you play in red you get longer.
We can have done the deal but announce it tomorrow.
Which is apparently what’s happening.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Will we now start to see some penalties saved?

Nah.

He'll inherit the a reverse curse that affects our penalty takers.

I wonder if Toxic Shittiwatter left one of his cosmic frogs under the penalty spot?

 

[Wanchope n me Dickov]

could be 2 new keepers making their debut in the derby. Just hoping we can tear them a new one like in the treble winning season.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I thought the deadline was midnight or so?

7pm UK time.

 

[Brightwell Bros.]

What a weird transfer window.

You just get the sense this whole weird rebuild is happening with a view to Pep leaving next summer rather than in two years.

 

[DMA's]

It’s done. It will be announced tomorrow. I suspect interviews etc will be done when he is back however

 

[better dead than red]

Funnily enough, I got that impression. Who is he?

I have no idea. I just wondered if it was maybe someone who haunts this board but didn't want to own up to it.

That is for FA to FA deals, longer from abroad as Uefa rules apply apparently.

Yeah, he was just asked for and gave his opinion, which wasn’t outrageous at all, I just thought he came across as though he was delighted to be on tv. Is Nobbins a Nick name or is he really called that? And who is LB?

 

[Tugay One Cup]

I thought the deadline was midnight or so?

He's away with the national team and apparently conducted his medical abroad (France or Italy, can't remember).

I'd imagine it's all signed off and we're just trying to put together some media stuff before announcing it officially.

Almost certainly a done deal but there will be that tiny bit of doubt until it's announced.

 

[oakiecokie]

What a depressing window. Easily the worst since the Mancini Scott Sinclair nightmare. The pointless signing of Donnarumma just about caps it off.

The only thing thats depressing for me is your shit post and others like it.

 

[PabZabb]

Must be something original we can come up with to the tune of shoot the runner, kasabian

 

[Matt Diablo]

Wasn’t that bad his opinion was it?
Basically saying he’s not Pep’s usual type of keeper,
Which he isn’t.
There’s quite a few on here share his opinion.
I’m not one, I think he’ll be great.
He also said when Reijnders gets up to the speed of the PL he thinks he’ll be the signing of the summer.
Nothing shocking, unlike the plastic rag blowup doll that followed him.
Now if she represented me I’d be worried : )

Fair enough mate it just slotted in with narrative of sky's underwhelming reporting of signing top world class keeper too perfectly

LB is some Lewis guy who used to work at City_Xtra
