Welcome Donnarumma!

[LangleyBlue1970]

What was that guy called who played a couple of games in the 11-12 run in ? Small, neat passing midfielder, think he came from an Italian club

He was Chilean.

 

[Barcon]

He was Chilean.

You're thinking of a sea bass.

 

[chickaroon]

Fucking hell. Heard it all now.

He's regarded as one of the best stoppers in the world and since 2021 his save to shot ratio is the highest of ANY keeper in Europe.

Also over the past 2 seasons his pass completion is higher than Raya, Sanchez and Alisson. Make of that what you will.

The lad is world class and will undoubtedly improve the team

I agree with you. However, why did PSG want rid of him?

David Pizzaro

 

[oakiecokie]

He is looking at buying a property in Cheshire’s capital city as he is such a Deva

What ?? He`s coming to live in Winsford ?? !!

 

[johnnytapia]

It’s the same with Rico or anyone else. Fight for your place and if you are better than the other 1/2 players in your position, prove it by winning games.

All this it's not fair is total bollox.

We need match winners, Trafford has shown enough over the last couple of games to show he could be a great keeper. Donna is a great keeper now. It’s his job to push him out of the team.

It’s not fair. Neither’s Frank Bruno’s arse.

 

[ReutlingerBlick]

I am not sure what to make of this deadline day transfer. I hope it works out obviously, but the only worry is this: if he is so good, why are PSG not keeping him, especially at 26 years old....

I hope there aren't any skeletons in the cupboard, off the field stuff, that comes out later.

 

[McfcBibby]

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

Saw a stat that he’s never lost a penalty shootout he’s been involved in which is a wild stat. Also has something like a 24% penalty save rate

I've got a horrible feeling he ain't saving a pen again when puts on the City shirt.

I'm so confused by the current rebuild. Unlike a lot of people here I think we are signing great players who could really do something, but they don't seem like Pep players at all. Either Pep really is reinventing himself and sticking around for longer or he's leaving next summer. Interesting times regardless, let's hope it gels in time for the latter stages of the CL if the league looks unlikely.

Every player we have signed is a Pep player. Just because idiots on Sky say they arnt doesn’t make it true. That’s where your confusion is coming from from.

Just maybe, with the usual forward planning, it’s a bit of both? Maybe they have the next manager lined up and are building with him/her(!) in mind?

Also, I’d hope Trafford signed hoping to work alongside the worlds greatest goalkeeper (toss a coin for Eddie or Donna)

 

[oldhamblue]

I agree with you. However, why did PSG want rid of him?

They were trying to reduce their wage bill and he was one of the highest paid players

 

[dadnlad]

Turned rags down because only city will pay his daft wage demands even oil state psg wouldn't pay then
Nothing at all to do with cl football

 

[HarrytheBlue]

OK so he aint great with his feet... but he played with PSG who are the most possession dominating team in the world, he must be at least.. decent? He was absolutely fantastic when I saw him in the CL, especially vs Villa.

Donnarumma is good with his feet albeit no GK comes close to Eddie's control and passing range. One thing's for certain, Donnarumma's not here to be part of a team in transition - he'll want to win the Champions League this year!!

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Lanky bastard, welcome to the City!

 

[WestGorton]

He is here to stop the ball going in our net. Eddie did it in Istanbul when it mattered.That is what the good goalies do.

Fuck me finally someone gets it.

I think Pep is laying the ground for our next manager and is starting to change our playing style. And I’m sure he wants to go out with a major trophy.

Bernardo Corradi?

Fuckin hell he was shit
