We just have to thank Pep Guardiola for making good signings for the club because it's already an elite team. Donnarumma will assists Manchester City in goalpost and this is no luck to have a goalie like Donnarumma, a well coupled experience goalie. What's the essence of exploring the bigger picture where Donnarumma gets to stand on his own and make everyone believe in him as the ultimate replacement for Ederson who fade out years ago. Manchester City also have a solid defendlines but can they survive under pressure?
If Guardiola changed to buy a striker like Haaland, used him well, I believe that he can change and ready to change with a goalkeeper like Donnarumma. Both Haaland and Donnarumma are classic players at their position, a traditional striker and a traditional goalkeeper. These transfers show that Pep Guardiola has changed with time and become more flexible with his tactic philosophy as well as player choices.
Yes, it's undeniable that there are some weaknesses at Man City, and Donnarumma truly arrived late, signed on September 1, 2025. Judging by market value and the performance of Man City's goalkeepers so far, Donnarumma is the best compared to other goalkeepers, including James Trafford, who recently arrived from Burnley, and Ortega.
And Donnarumma's statement further suggests that he will also do well at Man City, just as he did at PSG. However, we'll see how his performance will turn out.
Donnarumma is a great goalkeeper from physical to mental strength and he can make unbelievable saves for his teams. Pep Guardiola is obsessed with ball possession and he is keen on choosing goalkeepers who can make good passes like Ederson. However, in big matches that decide titles, a great save has quality like a goal even that goalkeeper can not make good distant passes for the team.
