Man City’s Goalkeeping Shuffle…
In a play more unexpected than finding a snowman in the Sahara, Ederson was absent from Manchester City’s squad for Wolves, just after Pep Guardiola announced he would supposedly be there. The sparkling Brazilian goalkeeper, who had offers hot enough to melt a soccer ball from Galatasaray, was mysteriously left off the team due to illness. This surprise opens the door for James Trafford to swoop in gallantly for his Manchester City debut, just like a superhero arriving in the nick of time after returning from a stint at Burnley.
Ederson’s missed trip to Wolves adds more intrigue to his future with City, which seems as stable as a house of cards in a wind tunnel. Despite previously shutting down any ideas of leaving the Etihad, his absence suggests a departure might be closer than imagined. While Pep assured there were no signs Ederson wished to leave London for Istanbul, the sly Turkish club Galatasaray remains persistent. Guardiola hinted that any player longing to leave must bring the club an offer as captivating as the Great Wall of China made of waffles—sweet, substantial, and impossible to resist.
