Donnarumma signing would probably prompt ederson out the door so no change really, Traff will be fully aware and continue his development as number two for a year or two.
Donnarumma is only 26 compared to Ederson who is 31. Donnarumma could be the number 1 there for the next 5-8 years.

I don’t buy into the narrative that Ortega wouldn’t come here or we couldn’t afford him. He played for 1860 Munich and had 5 years or so at Arminia Bielefeld before going to City, we are a step up from that level playing in the premier league, I’d also imagine he is one of their lowest earners - 40...

Trafford has put a picture up in the gym which has the words 'On a mission' on the walls. I may be wrong but I wouldn't have thought that was a Portuguese gym.

Do we know if he's gone with the group?
Doesn’t seem to be there judging from the club videos/photos, which is strange (unless he’s off)

That's not fair on Ekdal, who had a good run of games as one of the best players on the pitch in a Championship-winning football team.
