Yeah which is fair enough. I just don't think Donnarumma is the upgrade some people think but happy to be proved wrong.Eddie is being replaced because he wants to leave
Yes he is so we have not choice but given the choice I'd choose Ederson for another year.Eddie is being replaced because he wants to leave
Rodrygo (only 24) is an elite street fighter kind of player - Sav? End of.Like for like in terms of is Donnarumma really overall that much better than Eddie? I just think we have to be careful bringing someone in who is awful with the ball at his feet.
I've already explained I don't think Rodrygo is that much of a step up from Savinho to sell him on with all the potential he has. But yeah if he wants out I'd get rid.
I just don't see them as massive upgrades on what we have.
There are parts of Donnurummas game that are better than Ederson, there are parts of Edersons game better than Donnurumma. Overall not much in it IMO . Rodrygo over Savinho probably less of an argument.Rodrygo (only 24) is an elite street fighter kind of player - Sav? End of.
Donna is only 26 - known of him for 8 years already! 2nd ever youngest GK in serie A history at 16, Became youngest ever Italy No1 at 17. Love Eders he will always be dyed in a City history but cone on ffs

Its all about mentality. Think that ends the debate in my book. We need players here for the future then Pep would have finished the job . . .There are parts of Donnurummas game that are better than Ederson, there are parts of Edersons game better than Donnurumma. Overall not much in it IMO . Rodrygo over Savinho probably less of an argument.
Well yes that's what it comes down to in the end, we need players that want to be here for the next few seasons ,can't argue with that.Its all about mentality. Think that ends the debate in my book. We need players here for the future then Pep would have finished the job . . .
Also looking at the base requirements of the position in question - GK, really do want a superb shot stopper/ penalty saver. Amount of shoot outs we are involved in vrs worlds best teams- it's a massive margin swingerWell yes that's what it comes down to in the end, we need players that want to be here for the next few seasons ,can't argue with that.
Correct mate, and Rodrygo is miles ahead of Savinho.Its called not standing still you fucking plank
Mate the autocorrect has changed the player you would have a look at to Bowen, who did you mean?If we for whatever reason can't get Rodrygo I'd seriously have a look at Bowen
Never in a million years mateMost people seem to think it’s a done deal to get Rodrigo if Savinho leaves.
Maybe, but there has been background noise about us talking to Vinicius Jr too, and I have a sneaky feeling he would be the replacement.
Moaning, snidey, cheating tw*t, but undeniably a better talent and has had some major problems with racism in La Liga the last few years ..

Seriously though, Bowen is a very good player with a good mentality and is hg.
Donna is a huge upgrade mate. I agree about Rodrygo though.This is exactly my thinking. There's not a massive gain to bringing Rodrygo and Donna in for Sav and Eddie, it's sort of like for like. Both will be on bigger wages as well, especially Rodrygo.

Happy birthday29 in December
Would not be shocked if its Bobb 10, Bernardo RW thoughSo looking at today's lineup
3 in midfield
Nico Bernardo and Reijnders
And the 2 wingers Bobb and Doku
I'm sure Cherki will come on and it will be interesting to see who he replaces.
But the bottom line is we have plenty of wide players without Savinho
