I understand why he might want to move, but if his head’s elsewhere, I wouldn’t fully trust him in big games. Mentality matters too much at that level.I think he clearly wants a permanent move away while trying to knock the asking price down and the possibility of playing in 2 cup finals doesn't look enough to appease him.
I doubt Trafford will agree to any future buyback clause when hes sold and hes almost asking for Pep to start Donnarumma in any Wembley fixtures if he continues with his blatantly obvious unhappy demeanour.
To be fair he was just answering a question in an interview, he didn't put out a comment on social media or anything. He hasn't blamed anyone or downed tools.I think he clearly wants a permanent move away while trying to knock the asking price down and the possibility of playing in 2 cup finals doesn't look enough to appease him.

Every great team needs two great keepers - he's under contract and unless we find someone as good or better he'll stay here for sure.He will be sold in the summer and never play for us again.
But Pep doesn't like having a squad where anyone is left out and says he doesn't want unhappy players, so I doubt we will keep him. I think he will push to move in the summer and there will be good offers for him and us.Every great team needs two great keepers - he's under contract and unless we find someone as good or better he'll stay here for sure.
You serious? We didn't owe him anything and we signed the best in the businessA bit shit for him that the club moved for Donna after signing him but it is what it is. He’s paid a fortune and will get a move if he wants one.
Hard to get too worked up about it.
That’s literally what I said. Are you drunk?You serious? We didn't owe him anything and we signed the best in the business
I just don't get why people care about the personal effect it's had on him. Some players get endless sympathy and others seemingly dontThat’s literally what I said. Are you drunk?
I agree, that’s my point ffs!I just don't get why people care about the personal effect it's had on him. Some players get endless sympathy and others seemingly dont
If we got 4/5 years out of him I'd be happy with that. This club has form for talking big players into staying longer than they may have anticipated so could be longer.Traffird was a decent keeper for the England under 23's or whatever theyre called and for Burnley in the championship. When they got promoted he was generally awful so they had to drop him.
It's obvious he has lots of potential but in his first couple of games here he wasn't great and cost us at home to Spurs, although everybody else was poor too. He looked like a rabbit caught in the headlights and not physically big enough.
I'm sure the plan was for him to play understudy to Ederson for a year or two then take over. Ederson leaving and then Donnarumma becoming available changed everything. We couldn't turn down the chance of signing the best keeper in world football. Tough on Trafford but elite sport is like that.
In our cup games he has redeemed himself, especially at Newcastle away. He is still only 23 and i think as he matures and fills out a bit he will eventually be world class, but sadly he probably won't be here then. My worry is how long will Donnarumma stay here? Courtois is 33 at Madrid and when he retires i could see them making a move for Donnarumma and i fear he will be tempted if they do.
tell that to Bernie & EddieBut Pep doesn't like having a squad where anyone is left out and says he doesn't want unhappy players, so I doubt we will keep him. I think he will push to move in the summer and there will be good offers for him and us.

It would be hilarious (ok not hilarious) if we find ourselves in the position of needing to sign two goalies again.Traffird was a decent keeper for the England under 23's or whatever theyre called and for Burnley in the championship.

The hate Sam Lee gets on here is really uncalled for. He annoyed me with the Aguero shit stirring but that was a long time ago now.Sources close to Sam Lee understand he's a know nowt rag twat with a massive forehead. Sam Lee to Turkey for hair implants LETS LAUNCH
But wages and agent fees differ largely but whateverHe can be upset with the situation, but he can't be hurt at City getting the best keeper in the world when he became available. Any club in the world would have done the same.
We bought Donnaruma for less than Trafford FFS.
Anyone who doesn’t say singer coated good things about players becomes ragThe hate Sam Lee gets on here is really uncalled for. He annoyed me with the Aguero shit stirring but that was a long time ago now.
The podcast he does with David Mooney is great, arguably better than 9320 now.
And his raggish days are long behind him. He’s a bigger Bert than most on here these days.
In a media full of hateful cunts, Sam is one of the few fighting our corner.
