Why are we interested in Donnaruma to replace him next season?
Maybe because you don't want another starting gk that is too old?

I don't know if pissed off at him today or not. However, all goalkeepers suffer from that criticism from time to time.

My main worry for him now is that he relies so much on athleticism and reaction time to overcome his small stature—this will inevitably become a problem the further he ages. I think he’s been very good overall this season and will finish the season strong as well, but I’m not sure he has another season as starter for us in him.

I could be wrong, but I can't imagine the plan was for him to be starter MD1-MD38 this season unless he performed so well that he wasn't removable. I have to think there was meant to be a real plan in there with Martínez somewhere. Nobody on this forum rates Sommer higher than I do, I watched him for years at Gladbach and I'm very fond of him and knew he was underrated because of where he spent his prime years playing, but I always viewed Sommer at this stage of his career as being essentially a bridge GK at best between Onana and hopefully a long-term GK afterwards. If he's still our first choice next season, without much question in it either, something's gone horribly wrong.

I do wonder if we are really going for Donnarumma...also why, aren't his wages too high for us? I do agree, I do not want to play Sommer until he becomes too bad to be a starter. But I would keep him as our bench option.

Also, the Martinez question :lol: is he going to play any games or was he bought just for laughs?
