Welcome Donnarumma!

[wolviedinho]

That whole Ederson is now great is a load of bull. He was ignored while playing for city by the media. Never as good as Allison but now all of a sudden we have made a mistake.

Do me a favour, fuck off with that made up tosh.

At his peak he was brilliant with his feet and decent shot stopper who commanded the area well. Over the last 2 seasons bar the odd game his head hasn’t been in it. It all went blah after the champions league success. Same with 3/4 others.

Jack
Akanji
Ederson

All gone. It’s not a coincidence.

Top fucking signing. He’ll become a fan favourite imo

Imagine him & Haaland working on the door.

I think it is rime for everybody to sit down and have a Rich Tea biscuit and a cup of tea.

I'm flabbergasted at how many people think we were gonna go into the season with a 22 year old from the Championship as our number 1.

Absolutely this. You play the best available player and that clearly ain't Trafford no matter how much potential he has. Donnarumma is clear and it's not close.

Quotes like this still fill me with a strange sense of pride. We forget just how much the Etihad has seen over the past few years!

 

[jimharri]

So; 35 clean sheets from now to next may, then. No pressure Gianluigi!

 

[City10.]

Don’t get me wrong, this is a good signing. But we have so many issues elsewhere on the pitch, it makes it feel like that there won’t be any significant improvement even with Donna in the team

I'll tell you one player who wants to play at the Ethiad and he's very complementary about City. Even one of his idols is David Silva, is Pedri.

As soon as I read the opening 4 words, I knew there was going to be a but to follow.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

I wonder how he got the Mars bar on his face there?

It's like buying a brand new shower curtain and ignoring the plumber didn't flush the torpedo he left in the toilet bowl for someone else to flush.

I don’t think it’s that crazy. We went with a 23 year old unproven ederson and a very young Joe hart who’d just come back from a loan in the championship

We are a completely different club now to when Joe Hart came in to the club, how can you not see that?

Ederson was incredibly talented at such a young age, the same way Donnarumma was.

Ederson was playing for Benfica in the champions league at 22, and Donnarumma was playing for AC Milan as well as being Italys no1; Trafford was playing for Burnley in the Championship.

How are you not able to see these things before posting such nonsense!

 

[roach3]

the best we could get at this moment, but not world class like Ederson is/was.

Completely disagree edersons shot stopping has been 50/50 for a while.
It’s no coincidence that since we’ve turned a bit shite Ederson has looked vulnerable.
I’d gladly sacrifice footwork for shot stopping.

 

[bluemystery]

Still cannot believe we've got him - world class talent, ederson will be missed but time to move on and up

 

[Rammy Blue]

Here’s a ridiculous stat. He’s undefeated in penalty shootouts he’s never lost one.

I’ll bet that changes whilst he plays for us!

The Stat loving gimps on here can probably tell us if it's a good thing or bad one.
seems he is on a par with eddie

As always I use the eye test and in all the games I’ve watched Donna saves stuff Eddie wouldn’t in my opinion, not interested in stats

Was blown away by his performances to secure PSG their first UCL last season, hopefully he carries it on in blue.
