[Semper aggressus]

Has he signed yet?

 

[johnny crossan]

Hsve

Has he signed yet?

not according to the BBC, SKY, Mail Online, etc etc

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

He isn’t to be fair.

Joe hart (premier league winner) wasn’t either.

I’m baffled by it to be honest.

Trafford is more of a Pep keeper than Donnarumma!

 

[jrb]

I hope he likes fish and chips?

 

[Irlamblue]

i think its all done and dusted
Just saw him in the old Monkey having a pint of Holts black
He saluted everyone
Winked at the bar staff
downed it in one
And fucked off

 

[better dead than red]

Could it be magic if the signing is confirmed?

He does work hard for the money.

 

[lee one pen]

It’s done, just heard it on the radio

 

[BlueMonkey79]

Mic drop

But but but he can't kick a football,!!!!

Some of the posters on here would have u think he's never kicked a ball in his life.

Worst comes to worst we pay Ortega to save shots in training until January, not ideal but here we are.

It’s a mess what I don’t get is that we’ve waited until the final hours to suddenly cone to life and start being busy . Clusterfuck of a window

Bravo was a Pep keeper and he was shite. Onana was touted as ball-playing (Pep-like) keeper and he’s even worse. Eddie not only was/is the best Pep keeper, he’s also the only one around, that’s been consistently any fucking good. I’m all for staying as we are, if someone can genuinely find the next Eddie and not the next Bravo or Onana. I’m guessing that nobody at the club, including Pep, has managed to find this person, so we are going in a different direction. I’m ok with it. I’m guessing Pep is too.

Hot stuff!

 

[BlueMonkey79]

He's gonna be absolute class.

I can't wait for the Ederson poster boys to eat their words.

Writing a proven top player off before he even plays a game for us, is fucking weird.

We have a very good alround replacement in Trafford...

What Donarumma gives us over Trafford in shot stopping we lose more in his lack of ability with the ball at his feet.

Pep is going to have to set up differently (and he acknowledged that at weekend when he said when we went more direct we werent prepared for the second ball).

Do we have the midfielders to compete to win the second ball...do they have the intelligence (like David Silva had to win the ball) cause they dont have the physicality - that is what we are now relying on happening.

Two good things about this signing:-

1) Farteta showed the Prem that pressing Ederson was a waste of time, thus affecting our build-up, now opponents will test the new GK thus opening up our build-up again.

2) Pep will sign another Italian player to "buddy up" with the GK in the locker room, hopefully an Italian hard nut full-back.

 

[bluemoon32]

The “You’re S**t AHHHHHH” will be chanted by City fans whenever he goes to kick the ball ha

Good mentality too
That makes a difference

Pfft, we don't do full backs as well you know

 

[bluemoon32]

Has the club footed **** signed yet ?

 

[Sam69]

Porto wanted 60 million euros for Diego Costa, the club did well to spend that amount on 22-year-old Trafford and 26-year-old Donnarumma

 

[King Jay]

everything but a right back . On how much is he? Double the salary ederson was?
