Welcome Donnarumma!

[mexico1970]

There must be a plan with Trafford mustn't there?

Mustn't there?

Good stuff.

Trafford did really well those first three games, the 'mistake' for me against spurs was on the CH's and without doubt he kept the score down both in that game with his late save & at Brighton.

That being said, it's 3 games, a good 3 games but, 3 games.

It's much more prudent to go with a keeper who has been there and done it all.

Need a decent song for him now maybe something around Donna Summers Works hard for the money ditty as I think he'll be a busy boy this season with our back line.

People moaning before he’s even kicked a ball (into row z apparently) for us need to have a word with yourselves.

I reckon a more traditional ‘catch the ball’ keeper might actually give our patchwork defence the confidence they need - as amazing as Eddie was of course there was always the fear and uncertainty that he would do something mental.


A bit of old school security back there will actually do us good in my view.

When we signed Haaland it was a similar thing. We had to change the way we play to accommodate him but at the end of the day when the best players in the world are available you go get them. About time City started buying off the top shelf again

Welcome on board big lad!

 

[blue b4 the moon]

You signed Senne Lammens we sign Gianluigi Donnarumma...... Donnarumma...

Fingers crossed ;)

Welcome, best keeper in the world last season.

I'll take that this season please.

I'd rather he didn't have a lot to do.:-)

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Making his debut against the rags?

People used to say they had a mental advantage with Schmeichel in goal. I feel the same with Donnarumma. Imagine lining up next to him in the tunnel?

I really hope that game is his debut.

Let’s hope we hardly need him :-)

Can’t deny he brings presence to the goal. The experience he has and trophies he’s won. He won’t be nervous in the big games which I like considering the issues with defence.

And winning mentality.

We'll still have issues in defence...and midfield...still it's a start

 

[OldhamBlue94]

Can he play right back?

I heard a Donnarumma. I'll get my coat.:-)

Trafford is retraining for it.

Absolutely this, his huge presence/aura will have the opposition thinking twice.

An iconic signing.

 

[Longballutd]

Pizzza and a glass of Chianti this evening to celebrate.

Unbelievable replacement to get in for Ederson.

 

[Gumzy97]

 

[the blue panther]

Might actually see a penalty saved with this guy in between the sticks.

Well, with United next up, we shouldn't have very long to wait!

 

[Gordyola]

The spine Donna, Josko, Rodri & Erling

Mustn't there?

To be our back up keeper and learn from one of the best.
