Gemmill 63200 Posted October 28 Share Posted October 28 If he can't get into our side, I'm not sure why Man City would want him. Plus the obvious point that PL makes of that club being a fucking graveyard for young promising English players. Trafford's situation is a fucking disgrace. That kid should be allowed to leave on the relative cheap in January after the shit they pulled in the summer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even the bitter old cunt in me can’t blame him for going there instead of here when he did. He probably thought he was nailing down the England spot as well and now he’s largely frozen out of that and first team football after they signed Donnarumma. It’s not even like he’ll take over soon as Donnarumma‘s only in his mid 20s too Edited October 28 by Alex 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 28542 Posted October 28 Author Share Posted October 28 Could he have not simply turned down the contract? Or is that me being too simple? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was our fault for messing about the previous summer, and Mitchell's fault for supposedly then putting their owner's nose out of joint. But my understanding of the contract tie-up that Man City had on Trafford basically precluded him from having a choice. So he had to go back there, and within a month he was consigned to the bench. It's proper fucking Death Star shit from Man City. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract stipulated that Man City be made aware of any bid accepted and given a time frame to match that bid, which would then automatically be accepted. It was still up to the player to decide who to join. But he was always going to choose City over us, he'd have been mad not to at the time. Of course if he'd known that they were going to sign Donnaruma then he probably would have made a different decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Downie gives a different interpretation of the contractual situation to you. But regardless, the point is that, having signed Trafford surely there's some duty towards the player that has just picked you to not just immediately replace him within a month. It's shady as fuck. The lad needs to play. If you can't give him that, get a 30 year old who is happy to warm the bench. Sooner or later, I would hope that these sort of practices will come back to bite them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downie's interpretation is entirely incorrect. Unless you hold the player's registration then you cannot force him to come back to play for you, you just can't. What Man City did was cut throat. They bought Trafford with the hope that he would compete with Ederson and go on to become world class. They were forced into making a decision on him because our bid was accepted. However, when the opportunity came along to sign one of the world's best goalkeepers for a relative pittance they took it. It's unfortunate for the lad a club like Man City are always going to do what is best for them. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon they genuinely believed they were going into the season with Trafford as number one. Re: Anderson, I can see him going there. It's not so much about "why would he go to Man City if he couldn't get into our side". Rodri is fucked and they need a replacement IMO. Half surprised they're not showing an interest in Bruno tbh. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig 12383 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 I mean, there's a full schedule of games planned for Saturday 27th. Is this really a massive issue? Don't recall there being issue when they dropped Easter Monday games - Easter weekends used to be brilliant for football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 63200 Posted October 29 Share Posted October 29 (edited) It'll be cos hardly anyone celebrates boxing day, so nowhere else is on holiday, which impacts TV audiences presumably. Works fine this time cos the 27th falls on a Sat, but where Boxing Day falls in the middle of the week, they'll still have to do it on the day or else they won't be able to fit all the games in over the Xmas period.
