25 | Gianluigi Donnarumma - 2025/26

I’ve said before. I wanted him at City before we ever got Eddie (who I rate very highly). I am delighted he is here and at 26, I expect him to learn and improve. As a keeper, you should always be improving your positioning. I played in goal a lot (Hough End level - literally) and even I found I was in the right position more often as I aged because you get better at reading the game.

Not being funny mate but you're a bit of a short arse to have been a goalie, unless you played for Oompa Loompa FC; )
 
I've always thought Donnarumma is a top keeper but was concerned that that he came across as having an attitude problem. I was wrong. He has an air of arrogance about him that many top players have and his attitude is that of a winner.

Although Ederson was/is the best sweeper keeper, Donnarumma is a much better shot stopper and that is far more important than a keeper having fancy foot skills.

Definitely has a presence about him, its his wingspan, would love to see his reach, literally fills the goal with his arms outstretched.

Seems like a good lad and teammate aswell, lots of hugs and backslapping going on, everyone looks like they are enjoying defending and willing to take a ball in the face or a boot where it hurts for the team since he arrived.
 
Best gk in the world for 26 million but we shouldn't have signed him. Ridiculous from some. Any other keeper crumbles under those Arsenal corners.
We have failed with possession football big time last season which is the only way Eddie liked playing or we could use his advantages and we are now trying a more practical approach which needs less of an Eddie type keeper and more of a shot stopper. I know some people want Trafford but this guy is leagues above and the defense responds accordingly.

He must have seen Mario's video clip after the Rag semi. It was a masterclass in 'taunting the opposition'!

The City OS have an article on Donnarumma winnning the Bert Trautmann Trophy, called the Yashin Trophy by Uefa, but there's fuck all on the BBC. Hampton 'n Wiegmann have their trophy billed prominently. Have those bastards at Beswick made it up?
 
Love the fact the media are again at it. Chelsea now apparently didnt want him after he was snubbed by Utd.

Could it be the fact that the best Goalkeeper in the world wanted to go to City and City only.

Why would he want to drop from Champions Lge winners to teams that have finished 4th,6th 12th or 15th, 8th, 3rd in the last 3 seasons & have 1 title between them in the last decade.

I’d completely forgotten about the aftermath of that game! Just found the ITV clip is still on YouTube - great stuff. Link here. Watching Mario wind up Rio is a thing of beauty. The rage!!

Our spine with him Dias Rhodri Foden and haaland is the best in the league by far
