Seems like one kid that was always desperate to play for us. Love it

Had a good debut

No brain farts. Assured handling. Looked comfortable with his feet, both long and short. Made a few solid if unspectacular saves. Gave a few bollockings when required to the defence

More or less what I expect of a goalkeeper and if he keeps this up will be challenging Pickford for the World Cup slot

Both were / are injured .According to Pep, Ed has gastro enteritis which has been brought on since Trafford came in. Early days and we need a backup, but thought Trafford looked really steady, commanded his box and defence and mixed it up with his kicking. I'd be happy for him to keep the no.1 spot. Note for Pep, whenever possible, lets keep the back four the same. That can only help Trafford. He's going to the WC, Pickford shouls be worried

BBC's transfer gossip has Romano stating Galatasaray have made an opening offer of £8.6m for Ed. Should we be tempted with 1 year left?

I'll be pissed off if we get this PSG keeper. He's 26 FFS he won't just be coming in for a few seasons. We've bought Trafford with him thinking he'll get number 1 next year when Ed leaves. Fuck Ed off the cry baby and leave Ortega as number 2

Push that up as much as we can and I'd take it. Was the plan to have Trafford understudy Ed for a season before taking over? Who knows, we shouldn't be looking at Donnaruma if Enrique thinks his distribution is poor. Would it be a risk with Trafford as no.1 and Ortega or A N Other as backup maybe but this kid is only going to get better. As I said above, we'd need a settled back line to help him that's my concern

I don't think it would be a risk having Trafford as number 1, as some do. Give him a season and see what happens. Can't be any worse than Ed was last season.

The Wolves player was offside but Trafford rushed off his line rapid and saved the shot in the first half. Was class to see.

Agree. I'd be happy for him to be no.1 the talk around Donnaruma is just that & I suspect it's all coming from his camp as he is now not first choice at PSG. To your point, saw that save. Trafford is very quick off his liine and needs to be playing behind our high line. Another good sign

No way on earth are we signing Donald Rumba when we already signed Trafford.

His agents are just begging for a job. Rags surely, if they can possibly borrow any more money
