They had Ortega to fall back on, decent keeper so the chances of Carson getting a game were very slim.Barlow Boy wrote: ↑Tue Jun 10, 2025 5:50 pm He was at Boro, moved to Chelsea and didn’t make one first team appearance.
Odd one really, you would think a club of the statue of Manchester City would sign someone a bit more established, even if it is only a backup option to Ederson.

Re: Premier League summer transfer thread - Just the facts folks
After £400m was spent by Premier League clubs, the transfer window has officially closed - six days before it opens again.
Only four Premier League clubs made significant signings in the initial window.
Bournemouth only signed Dean Huijsen for £18m last summer, now they have made a healthy profit, selling him for £50m to Real Madrid within twelve months. I was impressed with Huijsen so much, I had him in my Fantasy football team for part of last season. He looked very good playing for Spain vs Portugal last Sunday. Hopefully the Cherries struggle to find another gem to replace him. Wolves also lost two of their top stars.

£46.5m - Tijjani Reijnders AC Milan to Manchester City

Well Ange has done the hard work and he gets the core players back.... Plus a free trip to the CL he didn't earn

If Ange by his own admission hadn't rushed the core players back then ran them into the ground maybe they wouldn't have got injured in the 1st placeThe Subhuman wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 9:06 pm Well Ange has done the hard work and he gets the core players back....

Frank is far superior imo.
Ange is closer to Jesse Marsch, vibes manager.

Everything they do is data driven.
Manager will be the same you'd imagine.
Will be much the same process.
Mckenna at Ipswich is the favourite
