No one will ever match Ederson for his footwork. No one in the future will either.
He is 10/10 for passing and bravery on the ball. Incredible composure.
So whoever comes in we will notice straight away more misplaced passes which will annoy people.
But, he isn’t great at crosses or shot stopping. So what we lose in goalkeeping distribution we will hopefully make up for with a better shot stopper.
From what I’ve seen of him, Joan Garcia is a very capable keeper so as I say, I’m all for getting him in.
But I would miss Ederson.
He’s finally started doing interviews in English as well now and clearly loves the club with his kids and family at every home game all dressed in the club merch.
There’s a few times this season when I’ve thought, Jesus Ederson, you’ve got to be doing better there but his footwork does make up for a lot of it. We don’t appreciate that side anymore because he’s so good at it and it is a big part of our game.
It’s a difficult call. (But I would like Garcia).

Good, happy he doesn't like to start the attack by going backwards, never ends well-;)

Hope he doesn't drop the decision, wouldn't be a good look.

haha, very good!!
Doesn't wanna be a backup. Would rather be the star of his own movie than an extra in someone else's blockbuster. I like that kinda mentality. :)
Can tou do a Costa comparison?

He is an Espanyol player who supports Espanyol. He hates Barcelona like we hate the rags
Garcia is an absolute beast of a keeper. If he joins our team, I’d expect him to get 20 clean sheets in the Premier League alone and targeting Čech's record. To perform the way he has for Espanyol — behind such a weak defence — says it all. He would thrive at City. He’s been my top choice for a while now, and I’ve been raving about him non-stop.

That's 3 more than our keepers have saved in the past decade
What about ball playing/ distibution?
He came through at Espanyol as a youth and into the first team.
It would have been like Joe Hart leaving us to go to United.

So is Eddie definitely leaving then?
Obviously, Ederson has set the standard, but García is very solid — a true ball-playing keeper. He’s sharp with low passes, has good vision for switches, and delivers quick, intelligent throws. While he’s still developing his range and consistency on long diagonals, the foundation is clearly there. I personally think he is good enough to play for us given how we play and plus his a great shot stopper.
