Welcome Donnarumma!

[Saddleworth2]

Completely random to sign a top class keeper to replace the top class keeper that has left, and has wanted to leave for 2 years.

Laughable that you don't think he improves us much.

I think he is a bit better shot stopper than Trafford and his distribution is on a par. Why buy the next long term England Goalkeeper as a no 2? We need strengthening in other areas before this. In addition he is in no way a replacement for Ederson. He is a completely different type of Goalkeeper and will do little for our ‘possession based’ football.
Obviously hope I’m wrong.

The Don

Absolutely this, his huge presence/aura will have the opposition thinking twice.

An iconic signing.

I’ve said it before he signed,it’s the equivalent of signing Buffon at 26. Unbelievable signing.

"If you're having goal problems I feel bad for you son, we've got 99 in goals and you're not scoring 1"

Sorry.

 

[Matt Diablo]

He's one of the best keepers in world. He'll improve the team.

Put it this way, would you rather have Trafford and Ortega as our keepers or Donnarumma and Trafford?

It's a no brainer.

Unbelievable some reactions. Unreal

Top signing

 

[Saddleworth2]

People asking why we have signed this guy, hopefully he turns out to be an excellent signing. He is one of the world's best in his position, he is a statement signing. Rodri was clearly questioning the quality at City post Brighton match and this is part of our response. Hopefully, we are saying...no more players with potential, we are going back to signing established, world class players and it is a sign of the direction we will be taking in the next few years to get us back to where we have been.
A statement from the Board to Rodri and Haaland, stick around as we are now planning big again

If we were planning big we wouldn’t have waited to the last few hours of the window.

We signed him on a Monday and my heart stood still, Do Do Donnarumma ...

 

[Father Paul]

Well apparently not good with his feet and a bit of a dracula. Playing behind a disorganised defence and disjointed midfield he looks certain to spend most of the season turning around to pick the ball out of his net.

 

[Ken92]

Welcome to the club! Not going to solve much of our issuses currently but still one of the best goalkeepers in the world and hopefully helps us to win many more titles in the future.

 

[Father Paul]

Would he be any good at Stoke away on wet and windy Tuesday night ?

No. James will be given that sort of gig.

Thanks for the insight father…

Signing Donna will help keep players like Rodri

 

[eversince 76]

Welcome. Hope he lives up to the somewhat unreal expectations on here.

 

[kupest]

This was always happening, we were just waiting for Ederson to move which wasn't happening quickly. Donnarumma din't get linked to anyone bar us and it would have been easy to link him with the Rags looking at their situation. That makes me think this was boxed off long back.

Yeeesss, get in!

I agree. I hope he does well, but I don’t get this signing or what the plan is with Trafford - who I think will be gone by next summer.

Hope it works out. Gonna be great havin’ a proper elite keeper this season.
