André Onana | Loaned to Trabzonspor

Amazing news, if he goes for it. Just shows the calamity that we were before Ineos took over. Other teams selling players for 40 million left and right, we have to kidnap players and drop them outside other grounds to get them to go on loan.

Once we clear these out we should be able to sell players for decent fees imo
 
Its welrd that they go for Onana instead of Bayindir.
think there's multiple layers to this. Onana is the high profile goalie who was signed for a large fee, axing him comes with more headlines. Bayindir was always the backup, you can easily bench him for Lammens when you feel he's ready. Might also hope that Onana kicks on while on loan so you can actually sell him next summer.

Onana having the audacity to ask for a pay rise might also factor into this. If I'm United, I'm making an example out of him for that as well. Either way, good to see that the club is ruthless for a change.

I agree with that. I think that's a big focus for Ineos and obviously a big reason for getting the wage structure under control.
 
So Lammens is expected to be our number 1 fairly soon? I’m happy to see Onana go but I think it’s risky if Lammens doesn’t hit the ground running.

I really don’t rate Onana whatsoever but he is a much better keeper than Bayindir, at least when they are both confident. Onana has managed a handful of decent games whereas every time I’ve watched Bayindir he makes a few costly mistakes. They had to get rid of one of them, so I guess it makes sense for it to be the guy on higher wages.
 
Definitely worse than Taibi and Paddy Roche

Mind-blowing, some of the crap we signed. 47m on worst gk ever.

Even if Onana is theoretically better than Bayindir, he isn't currently playing like it. And after his dismal performance against Grimsby, I don't think there was much chance of him jumping ahead of Bayindir any time soon.
 
I think it’s entirely possible that he’s both utterly pony and also the best available option we have at the club for the rest of the season. Not sure I really get the gamble on Lammens and Bayindir. One of them we already know is not good enough and the other is coming from a level of football way, way below what he is about to experience
I’d rather put Maguire in goal for the rest of the season.

feck it, I’d rather put you in goal for the rest of the season
 
Good that it's been made clear that he'll get nowhere near the team barring an injury crisis.

Nah. We’re going to need my fast twitch muscle stuff in the middle of the park as the season gets stretched.
 
Doesn't really say much, Bayindir has started all the league games and would be the one picked if Lammens isn't.
That was before we signed a keeper though. Onana shown Amorim enough to drop him for Bayindir, considering Bayindir was number 2 last year and he ain’t good enough for number 1 then Lammens must come in to start straight away
 
Club need to be telling him that he’s never playing for us again in order to sharpen his focus that it’s actually in his interests to go there.
 
I’d love to hear what Man Utd said in that verbally agreed call.
"Wait what? You want who??? Onana? Please take him! What!? You'd pay us??" *Whew thought we would have to pay them*
 
ETH should be sued for wasting our money. Onana never looked assured even in his Ajax days. Joint worst signing along with Sancho. At least with Sancho, you could see he had some talent
 

The question is, is there even any wage coverage? If we even got them to cover all his wages with no extra fee it'd be a great deal, but I'm guessing we'll struggle to get more than half coverage.
 
So this isnt done yet fully? Can we have every available body on sight, from Carrington to the airport, to track his every move and ensure he goes ?
