1 | James Trafford - 2025/26

[Blue Hefner]

wonder if he thinks he made a good move by not going to Newcastle. dont see him displace Donnarumma in near future and eventually will want to go to a club like Newcastle-Villa. displacing a 35yo not extremely great Pope would have been an easy target imo already this season for him.

I expect we’ll sell him in the summer for a health profit and look for another Ortega-type to be number 2

He was signed because Eddy was offski in a year but went suddenly, but then Donna came available and you could not turn that down. Timing transpired in the end. I don't know where Ortega is these days but he is a good deputy. In my view for James and for the club it may be best a straight sale unless, again, injuries or circumstances dictate otherwise.

We will be quids in on Trafford

We sold him to Burnley for £15m and bought him back for £27m.

So he ows us £12m to break even on him.

I have no doubt Newcastle will be interested at £25m-£30m meaning we will make an overall profit on him of £13m-£18m.
