André Onana | signed for United | On a flight to NYC

[Irrational.]

I foresee plenty heart-in-mouth moments and occasional blunders (the latter we see with DDG anyway).

 

[Idxomer]

Also, DDG wasn't on the verge of leaving last summer. Funny how people are what they want to see.

Yeah but even if De Gea were leaving last summer, Onana wouldn't have been an option. To add more context, he actually agreed to join Inter when Ole was still our manager which seems like ages ago now.

I think it was when Ralf was the manager. Ole was sacked in November.

He’s a very good GK and can do it in the big games. I think he’ll be absolutely fine.

They agreed with him well before that

Did they ever pay off their Lukaku dept to us?

I think we still owed them money from Silvestre deal so both clubs just called it even.

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Unless we buy a top striker and a top midfield partner for him, bringing Onana will do feck all for Casemiro.

It will the very least stop him from having to play heroball after clearances from De Gea goes straight to the closest opponent.

Looks like he’s our new number one

Well we still have to bid for him... And I'm increasingly having vibes that we don't have much money

Why on earth are we doing face to face meetings with agents?

We're literally sponsored by a company designed to rid the need for such things.

It's the reason our sponsor wants out, we don't promote them.

I still feel, myself included, that face to face is better...

Plus, might be a few people involved, might be awkward with 10+ people crowded round a 24" monitor.

What happens if De Gea stays ?

We like to impress them by inviting them to our state of the art stadium.

 

[Chief123]

What happens if De Gea stays ?

If we get Onana, we probably won’t offer De Gea the contract.

 

[Nick7]

I’d be very happy with this

 

[bosnian_red]

What happens if De Gea stays ?

We all cry, ten hag walks, ole comes back in, we finish 6th, the glazers stay, etc

 

[Castia]

Meh

Costa will be a much better player than this drug cheat.

No thanks

 

[DWelbz19]

Just having a goalkeeper half decent (let alone very good like Onana seems to be) on the ball will be such a drastic improvement on our buildup. Such a vital signing this will turn out to be.

 

[userman]

What happens if De Gea stays ?

Then we don’t have to sign a backup GK in addition to Onana/starting GK.

 

[Rocksy]

Can’t get my head around this “oh we need to wait and see what happens with De Gea, and if he goes we might get Onana”. Just withdraw the De Gea offer and get whichever keeper you want in. Onana/Costa are both good options, but are completely different to De Gea.

 

[JB7]

What happens if De Gea stays ?

We'll have the best paid waterboy in the league.

 

[tomaldinho1]

DDG on a free + £40m.

Good no2

 

[Prodigy24]

Remember him from his Ajax days, and wasn't really a big fan. His style of play would raise my blood pressure to dangerous levels.

 

[Offside]

Guarantee it would be a mistake. There’d be 1 goal the Caf wanks itself over where he played a decent pass but all the late draws we’d concede without Dave bailing us out wouldn’t be worth it. Combine that with all the Barthez WTF moments. The Caf just want a shiny new toy unfortunately.

Exactly this.

 

[Stobzilla]

Yeah, our build up play should remain shite forever because David might decide to make a save. Or he might decide to pull a West Ham (away) or Everton (Home, FA Cup), or City (Cup final) or Chelsea (FA Cup semi)x2, or ....

You must be living on 2018

If Dave isn't kicking the ball to the opposition every time he touches the ball or not coming out for the ball, maybe this wouldn't be needed in the first place.

 

[Look-a-Hill]

DDG on a free + £40m.

Sadly we're the only ones who'd fall for this.

 

[Delano]

Fantastic keeper. Very good shot stopper as well, less flashy then De Gea but his positioning is really good.

I've been a massive fan of De Gea, he's completely bailed us out in his prime, but this is how we move forward. The Tifo video in the thread nails it really.

I will say though, people will begin to reminisce about prime De Gea's handling and ability to push the ball away from danger. Onana doesn't thrive there.

The whole point of getting rid of De Gea is so we can play better football and not have to be holding on for 1 nil wins.

 

[Berbaclass]

He reminds me of Monk from Mean Machine
