Gianluigi Donnarumma | Done deal according to Romano

[Mayor West]

If Trafford hadn't been here previously folk wouldn't have such a hard on for him

Well from what ive seen so far for City he is a fantastic keeper with potential to be world class, so I understand the erections for him.

Quite the change in keeper profile from Eddie and Ortega to Trafford and Donnaruma

Do we expect Pep to tell them to try and play the same way or switch it up and be a bit more direct?

Gonna be interesting

 

[MarcIsTired1986]

Of course he isn't as he isn't signing for any of the red mardarses.

Whilst there is a Conga going on in the sky sports studio because of Isak they still find the time to fire out their negative shite about our transfers.

Can't understand why you'd post it though. Odd.

Because it's a discussion point, on a forum discussing this transfer...

 

[Craig]

The fact he’s come up from the championship and looks prone to a gaff. That of course erases with time. Put it this way, should Arsenal or Liverpool - our title rivals, have signed Trafford and passed on the chance of Donnarumma, this forum would be pissing it’s pants at them.

Agree. Just bizarre to spend that much on him, then by a 26 year old certain starter whilst still not having one proper right back at the club

I have nothing against us signing Donnarumma, top class GK.
But one could also argue that this forum would be "pissing it's pants" at Arsenal or Liverpool if they had a young English national team GK in their squad but no RB or winger who offers a goal threat and still completely ignored those issues and instead thought it was a higher priority to bench said GK.

That is a different issue. What we’ve done in the keeper department though is secure it for the next decade.

To use an old football saying that seems apt " can he put out fires" ?

Well theres enough fuckers on here stocking it up.

No just to save shots, penalties, command area, order defence about etc

Keep the ball out of the net would be a fucking start!

@ancoats what’s the obsession with Trafford mate?

Trafford is great. Going to be amazing in the future but don’t think he’s a title winning keeper just yet. I’m sure he’ll still play a lot this season tho. But We’re signing arguably the best keeper in the world, captain for Italy, just won champions league, an absolute leader a 6ft 5 beast and he’s only 26. Not enough dancing gifs

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

Going to play more direct with our new back room staff see Klopp coming in next season

Haha...i just thought the exact same thing about 10 mins ago....imagine if that happened

Some bitter French journalist posting a statement full of sour grapes whilst working for anti city sky sports isn’t worth jack shit.

Cheers.

 

[BlueMoonz1977]

its all a bit strange,eddy suits the style of play we are used to, Trafford and Donna don't, are we going to change things to say a 442 with the moush next to Haaland with a more direct aproach instead of playing from the back

Thats my thinking

 

[Matt Diablo]

Could be one of our best signing for years. Be our captain next season probably or Rodders

 

[hcblue95]

Always happy to have 2 top players in each position but I just hope it'll be a fair fight for no. 1.

 

[CC1]

But playing ahead of Ederson this season in the first 3 games ? sort of says your number 1

Or maybe we were persuading Eddie to go before he walked for nothing - & whilst another great keeper is available?

To be fair, we can all only guess as club are v discrete

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

did you see him? i thought it was him in that chippy in Denton

I seen him in Pizza Hut

 

[spacecadet]

We are signing a world class player and still the g-strings are getting soaked. Reminds me of the fuckwits chanting "Dibble" every time Tony Coton had the ball.

There isn’t really a fight to be had. Top championship keeper vs top champions league goalkeeper.

Facing a rape charge with potentially 15 years in prison.

Maybe not then….
