James Trafford

A reminder to add Luke to the KFA list. He’s since deleted the tweet.

I am more interested in what happens next. Eddie or Ortega must be leaving. If it’s Ortega and Trafford is in as No2 to Eddie, it’s a decent move, albeit a ridiculously expensive one. If Eddie is going and we are left with Trafford and Ortega, it’s a fucking monumental risk we will have taken.

If we don’t you can all lynch me.

We are in the market for a right back.

Trafford back may open up for a foreign one now?

I'd prefer Ederson to stay for one more season and for the two of them to fight for the No. 1 jersey.

Ortega has been pretty poor since that save v Spurs and is not good enough to ever be our No. 1

 

[Manncity]

Can’t afford to miss out on Trafford, city need to take the upper hand and tell Emerson and ortega he’s here to be number 1.. instead of letting the players dictate..

 

[Georgian Maestro]

I only get this deal if Ederson has agreed to stay for one more season.

Maybe its Eddie or one more season and then Trafford takes over next season and Ortega out?

I feel/hope its Ortega going, Eddie stays another year and Trafford learns from him taking over from him next year.

A small risk hardly monumental.

Sounds like that might be the case mate - and I’m fully supportive of that from a succession planning perspective.

Eddie still No 1 at the start, but phase Trafford in with increased opportunities over the course of the season - and give him the chance to learn from one of the best in the game.

Then we say goodbye to Eddie next summer, with our new No 1 already in place.

It`s a perfect position isnt it?

 

[Georgian Maestro]

Much more comfortable with this deal now. Ederson number 1 for one more season with Trafford presumably promised a certain amount of game time. Relatively cheap and can shift him if he is not up to standard next summer.

 

[thegoatsthegoat]

Mental how many people think we will stick with Eddie and bring Trafford in. He is a top keeper with champions league sides interested in him. You think he would come here to be number 2? Lunatics

 

[Skrastins]

Edie to stay and Ortega to go?

Realistically, Ortega plays much more than the norm for a second choice. It’s perfect succession planning imo.

 

[Sebi]

So Trafford and Ederson and 26/27 Trafford number 1?

Have you forgotten the Bravo situation and the desperate position that put us in?
