Man, Ederson is RIGHT THERE if we want to try for a truly world class keeper. He may turn us down but why not even try? He knows Maresca from his time there and he is THE keeper in all of world football that plays exactly the way our manager wants.

Yes, he’d be super pricey, but then we don’t have to think about the position again for at least 5 years. He’s only 30 which is nothing for a keeper. He wants out, City will sell for the right price, and they’ve already got his replacement ready to go.

If we signed him we’d be ready to immediately compete with anyone. It’s like the most obvious transfer ever and we ain’t even considering it.

That's an interesting idea; would he leave tho?
He's only 30, so I'm not sure why City would let him go.

I'm sorry but it's so disingenuous when this argument is rolled out.

There's not one manager in the world that thinks CBs shouldn't defend or keepers shouldn't save shots (even Pep got rid of a keeper excellent on the ball because he wasn't doing that enough), but it doesn't change the fact it's a crucial requirement of the modern game.

The reports have been that he’s actively pushing to leave for Saudi. So why not push for him ourselves and see if he’d be interested in staying in the best league? He can always go to Saudi when he’s 35+.

Hmm then maybe he's been offered wages way beyond of what we can offer.

[OneMoSalah 8,885]

All the keepers we have bought post Kepa are worse than Kepa….

Sanchez, Petrovic and now Lunin apparently . Wow.

Also like fuck would we get Ederson… hes leaving City to go to Saudi. Not another English club. Wishful thinking but never happening, hence why he’s probably only entertaining offers from Saudi/outside PL. He may stay at City yet too.

That Lunin rumour is not true. Has been shot down by everyone

I cannot believe Manure stole a march on Real like that, especially considering Yoro saying for a long time that his dream of dream club was Real

and all he had to do was wait and go there on a free (so major signing bonus for him) in 11 months (he will only be 19yo then!!!)

It is the first wrong call I have made in ages in terms of who Real would pull

I do not remember the last time they failed in a transfer they truly wanted, one who then left for another club (Mbpappe they got, they just had to wait)

and they need CBs BADLY, its their big weak spot, that and fullbacks

they only have one truly healthy good CB atm, Rudiger, and he turns 32yo in spring

Alaba is still out for a long spell (maybe until winter) with a massive knee injury and is almost 9 months older than Rudiger

and Militao is back but not at all fully right yet, he barely played in the CL (12 minutes the entire competition) and was very poor for Brasil in the Copa America

Vallejo is garbage, worth less than 1 million quid, and will surely be dumped, was terrible for them when he played, and missed most of all of last season on loan with a horrid leg break and then major depression for the last 6 months

 

I would be in absolute full panic mode if we swapped all our CBs for all of theirs, and all of you know how unhappy I am with most of our current CBs

For Yoro it is a tough one though. He was only getting just under £350k per year which equivalates to less than £10k p/w. He obviously wants to go Real and yes he probably was pressurized by Lille into accepting it and could have waited for a season, however anything could happen in matter of a year and when you have someone willing to pay you that much, or you stall on your current wages at the current amount for a year, I understand why he made the move. One club showing more determination and willing to give you a massive, life changing amount now rather than wait. Life-changing for family too and long term security. Although unlikely, who is to say he doesn't suffer a Fofana type injury and it changes a club's decision making an offer on him. And although United, do not hold same prestige, they still are a big, big name who are offering him a slot into their first team immediately. 

That being said, I was surprised when he made the move to United, however then I saw the wages..

The Guardiola regen need  ball playing  goalkeeper and if Clownlake will not buy this type player  his system inverted horizontical vertical from the goalkeeper playing center back ,right back you  will not do that with Sanchez.

[Pizy 18,877]

Seems like we want to once again go the cheap route with any keeper we target. Just like we’ve done with the Calafiori/Veiga stuff and just like we look to be doing with the striker search.

It’s a risky strategy that will either make the club scouts look like fools or geniuses. We basically have to pray that we uncover more Palmer’s & Malo Gusto’s who develop fantastically once they come here for relatively low prices and little fanfare.

I’m not going to be one of those Chelsea fans that I see a lot of on Twitter and YT comments (and even on this forum) who are depressed that Arse and United are going for “big names” whilst we go for cheaper, “unknown” players. Mostly because I think 4 of our returning injured players who missed most of last season in Reece, Colwill, Lavia, and Nkunku can develop into superstars for us. Well, Reece already is. I also expect Nico Jackson and Caicedo will take big strides, too.

So would I like just 1 big, splashy name to come in this window? Yes. But I will be fine if we don’t.

yes, the wages are millions, but not crazy high at all (for top footballers)

£113.5K PW base, with a possible additional max of £36.5K PW based off performance and results
