Ederson

[johnny crossan]

Surely the money is there already to strengthen the midfield? Its more a case of if the player is there rather than the money.

It's always a matter of money - Pep told us there are many players we want but won't pay the ante for.

Don't know that we'll go for a number 2, but if we do it will be one capable of paying a run of games in our team, that will cost most of that £50 mill or more.If you think De Gea can play for Pep you've not been watching.

I don't and I have and please don't be impolite.

Was hoping that Guardiola would shoot down these rumours, as he did with De Bruyne, but it sounds like there's every chance he will be leaving. It's a huge blow, as goalkeepers of his calibre are few and far between. Got to respect his decision after the service he's given us, but still hoping that nobody stumps up the cash that we're demanding.

Funnily enough, I recall a keeper called Ante Niemi but can't remember who he played for.

Yeah, Pep's comments seemed to suggest there's a high chance he is off when the right offer comes in. That probably indicates Ederson wants to go too.

Said this a couple weeks ago the wages are too good to turn down but he is still under a well paid contract at City. It is all down to how badly Al-Ittihad really want Eddy. If they do come closer or match then he is off going off Pep's comments.

I disagree with you because we haven't seen a big sample of team without Edi playing on longer period of gime.

Consecutive games? Probably not, an entire FA Cup competition beating good teams conceding a single goal (penalty awarded by var) would suggest he isn't bad. Pre Ortega we looked miles away from the City we know, since we have had him I don't see much, if any drop off when Ortega plays, plus the benefit of him being able to save shots at his goal. I don't want Ederson to go at all, I just don't see it as bad as it would have been a few years ago.

After peps comments I'm resigned to losing him, will be sorely missed.

Which is unfortunately the next level of player to propel us further ahead?

£50m isn't needed to get a number two - de Gea is on offer for free.

And notoriously cannot play with his feet.........
