25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

Best business we have done since Haaland joined. So important we found a world class goalkeeper to replace Ederson. I think right now he is widely regarded as the best goalkeeper in the world and unbelievably still only 26 so many years to come.

What did we pay £26 million or something like that?? Think we will look back on this one as a one of our best pieces of business. Well done Viana

All I said was I hope people stick with him when he does try to use his feet because there’ll be an adjustment period, and you lot are so sensitive you’ve taken that as an attack.

i remember a few years ago telling you that i do not like you because of some of the things you say.

my opinion has not changed.

you've made a bit of a plum of yourself tonight.
 
Big imposing character. Feel like we're in safe hands.

Also feel like the days of playing the perfect game are over. The days of watching a Pep Guradiola orchestra control and win every game...it just isn't happening any more, for any team in the world?

Feels like we've got a keeper who will instill confidence in the defence and then that runs throughout the team
 
Rag mate came up with usual he wanted them but they dint sign him due to his wages
 
He's a leader at heart. On the eve of the Champions League final, he wrote a personalized letter to each player in their native language to motivate them. PSG players and fans adore him. He doesn't hesitate to shout at his teammates, even the big stars, when necessary. His winning mentality will bring a lot to this young team.

Having arrived less than a week ago, he has already managed to create a bond with his new teammates, even the most timid ones like Khusanov.

I can live with him.

What I can't live with is Ruben passing to Trafford's wrong foot from the 6y line under an immense press so everyone blames Trafford.

The Rags press was nowhere near like what we faced vs Spurs or Brighton and even more worrying for me was the fact when a totally out of form Rodri went off.. we lost all control of the game and the rags had 5-6 good chances that they squandered.

But yes I still think Trafford is a better keeper but I'm for City winning games.. whoever does that I'm not gonna complain about!

And that’s enough Bluemoan for today, and the day is only 4 hours and 9 minutes young.

Regardless of it not being true, even if it was true, it’d be another ridiculous decision by that club. They’ll hand obscene money to over the hill midfielders who wear gloves in September, but won’t pay a reasonable salary to the best player in his position in the world. Relegation beckons.

Not slagging him off mate, just think going forward for where our team is now and the level and style of player we have at the moment, we need a Donnarumma and not a tippy tappy style GK.

We don't have the player profile anymore to accommodate an Ederson type.

Tippy happy. That tippy tappy won us so much. What's your problem with that?

Dominated the area. Came for punches won them. Saw the stats on bbc they had more possession and even more passes. However never looked dangerous. We maybe just need a keeper like him while we transition.

We aren't fit yet, due to no pre season, we're having our pre season now, look at how many playerswere blowing out of their backsides yesterday and the fact we have new players in vital areas trying to get up to speed. City fans need to have patience with these players.

Fuck off.

If you can't even back a blue out of the academy who made a world class save vs Brighton that's as good as Donnarummas if not better, what's the fucking point??

Let’s celebrate. Both keepers and ve fucking happy we have them but yesterday it’s plain to see how commanding donnaruma is at the back and to say Trafford is in a par with him is laughable and for record I think Trafford is a really good keeper but dona is better .

It wasn’t better though. It was a very good save but the one today was different level. Shame for Trafford that he’ll have to move on again at the end of the season. More bizarre planning in the transfer window but we had to sign a work class keeper once Ederson left

Why can’t we keep both ?

Two things , world class save but he's also intimidating strikers/attackers, just his presence puts them off. Sesko and Mbeumo had a 1v1 and they shit themselves.

Well said and that is why we signed him and that is why he will probably end up our captain as he has bite and menace about him .

I didn’t want him to fuck up and have been pretty clear I want him to be a roaring success as soon as the transfer was happening.

All I said was I hope people stick with him when he does try to use his feet because there’ll be an adjustment period, and you lot are so sensitive you’ve taken that as an attack.

Don’t you think maybe just maybe pep will change hoe we okay out from the back with a keeper who is not as good with his feet but amazingly can save shots .
 
So much confidence at the back especially dealing with crosses, he was dominant punching them away. Will be a huge presence next week against Stoke fc.
