James Trafford

[CΛL]

£27m is a steal considering we sold him for £15m, we’ve only really paid £12m, and we’ll get that for Eddie

Future England number one!!
Does this mean Eddie needs to start learning Arabic or what? Personally I agree with the idea that Eddie starts as number one and one mistake and James is in.

So we waited till Newcastle's 27 mill got accepted and matched (as per the clause) and turned Traffords head. Din't we also have a sell on percentage?

Yup, we owe ourselves £5M ;-)

Strange one if you ask me but we will see.

 

[CΛL]

Great signing.

Doesn't need to be in the starter conversation, is young with plenty of room for development yet can also pitch in on cup games and lesser UCL games while Ederson remains the starter. And when it's time to make the switch whenever that is, he should be ready to go.

Ederson or Ortega need to be leaving for this to move to make sense, and Ederson is the one linked away

 

[CityDE]

Even if he's not our number one this season, he's gonna be our number one in 26/27. Happy he's back! Think it's a great transfer.

I am thrilled. Call me an old romantic, but there is something special about bringing back a player like this, especially one who vowed to become number one, one day. I wish him the greatest of good fortune and will be supporting him every step of the way. This makes me very happy indeed, sad though that is.

 

[samuelyeboah]

good deal

 

[glyntowen]

Goalkeeper is the most important position on the pitch imho I hope we have got it right.

I’m always really nervous when a new keeper makes his debut for us!

That is because we have had some shockers over the years, certainly in the old days I would not have wanted to play behind our defence

 

[Xhavenjoe]

it seems a more 'maine roady' style than an 'etihady' thing

£27m is a steal considering we sold him for £15m, we’ve only really paid £12m, and we’ll get that for Eddie

I suppose Newcastle were only prepared to pay £27m. As we had a matching rights clause, we have taken that opportunity.

I suppose Newcastle were only prepared to pay £27m. As we had a matching rights clause, we have taken that opportunity.

Allegedly £35 mill from NUFC so we take away our sell on fee and pay £27 mill.

Or something like that :)

 

[Dipsis_LTU_MC]

Finally an English goalkeeper.

 

[Maly]

Can we do a 'Welcome to Manchester ' poster for him, showing his name on the shirt and see if the rags finally get the joke?

Nah mate, be much better to stick a Welcome to Trafford sign on Chester Road on the way out of town ;)

 

[Centurions]

Yes, we're forcing James Trafford to come back and play for us...

 

[skillman]

Beautiful.

 

[Glauber Berti]

So, does anyone know if City matching Newcastles bid involves us giving up on our 20% buy back clause, leaving burnley with more money as a result?

 

[bluemoon32]

Not sure about him but i wish him the very best and sincerely hope he proves me 100% wrong

 

[LongsightM13]

What a deal
Perfect succession planning
And also means we can now potentially sign an overseas right back

 

[Semper aggressus]

Very happy with this signing, great work by the club.
