Ederson Moraes

Looks about as much like mangala as alex ferguson.

Thanks for clarifying.

I'll only be convinced once a graphic design artist from an Aston Villa forum confirms it.

That's Marcos fucking Rojo coming for a bit of Agueros missus

 

[MarsLlama]

Wouldn't be surprised to see an announcement tonight. We're not fucking around.

Ederson looks to be nailed on to become a City player. Great news!

Keepers are curious - top keepers (Cesar, Casillas, and to a much lesser extent Buffon) are world class and then hit a big or massive dip in form. The same thing seems to have happened to Bravo - top keeper for sure and then falls apart and becomes a liability in goal for us following his transfer.

I really hope that Bravo is able to overcome his current lack of form and return to top form. But if not, we have Ederson as a more-than-capable replacement.

Yes, I expect that Bravo will be our #1 at the start of next season - but Ederson will be a hugely talented replacement should Bravo slip up.
============
OtOH, curious that we were able to sign Ederson just before the world cup - he'd need to play, one would think, to remain Brazil's #1 in 2018 - perhaps we guaranteed that he'd start in all non-PL games?

Looks like my Kaspar Schmeichel concerns were unfounded :-)

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

So we sign him as the most expensive keeper ever and hes going to be our back up keeper ,realy ?..how many think bravo will be our numb 1????

Think Ederson will be nailed on too start the season as number 1, Bravo will play the league and FA cup games

Not me
You don't sign the most expensive keeper in the world (questionable assertion I accept)
and sit him on the bench.
He will be a starter for that much money.
