Guardiola’s Goals and Gags: City Transfers…
Pep Guardiola dropped a hint so big it could replace Big Ben, revealing that the identity of Manchester City’s No.1 goalkeeper will be clearer when the transfer window shuts. James Trafford started against Brighton, continuing his streak of keeping the bench warm for Ederson, who’s been linked with Turkish clubs. If Ederson heads east, City might call PSG’s Gianluigi Donnarumma, who is reportedly more available than a free buffet at a wedding. Guardiola says all will be revealed by Monday’s 7pm chime, suggesting game time is as predictably unpredictable as an English weather forecast.
Guardiola also discussed Rayan Cherki’s injury, saying the new signing will be out ‘a little bit longer.’ Cherki is apparently taking his own sweet time, like he’s stuck in a traffic jam on the M25 during rush hour. Guardiola gave young Trafford a shoutout, referring to him as a goalkeeper who sometimes accidentally aims for goals just like his favorite snack goes for his mouth. Despite a rough game against Tottenham, Guardiola remains loyal, just as he is to his suit on match days. After all, “keepers play a lot of games,” he quipped, especially when trying to reach the remote for TV reruns.
