Hi Eds,
Is JK happy with goalkeepers or is going to look for another?

{Ed001's Note - he wants to have a look at them all in preseason, but it does seem he is happy for now, as we have shown no signs of moving for one. Shame as Donnarumma was available and he would have solved the keeping for years to come.}

I doubt we can get Donnarumma Ed01. Wouldn't he be crazy expensive? Like €100m expensive or something insane like that?
Secondly, I believe it would be difficult to sign an "acceptable" left back. There are very few who understand that as defenders, they're meant to defend first.

{Ed001's Note - his contract is running down, he would have been available for a reasonable price.}

It is rumoured that donnarumma will extend his contract. 5 more years, €6mio a year, buy out clausle of €100mio if milan qualifies for the CL and €50mio if they fail to qualify.

{Ed001's Note - yes and it is very likely to happen now, but that does not mean we couldn't have bought him if we had moved for him first.}

We didn't sign him because he wasn't at Southampton, and couldn't take him to Blackpool tower, fancy missing out on the future Buffon, maybe we should sign another striker to get over it.

Im not so sure about that Ed001. I heared Madrid, Paris and a few other CL regulars were interested and if we face reality, we haven't been in the same league as they are for a few years now. Last time we were one of europes top 5 clubs was 10 years ago sadly.

{Ed002's Note - Liverpool showed no interest in Donnarumma - neither did PSG. There remains a plan for him going forward and it doesn't involve Liverpool.}
