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

[Strelok]

Doing a Glazer -- Get Onana on the free; sell and then get another -- striker for free.

Imo doing a Glazer is more like get Onana and make him pay for the cost and give them some cash as well. Then sell him.

Btw I always find the opinion because a team get a player for free or a low fee they should sell the player cheap quite weird. If you happen to find a big diamond somewhere would you sell it for half the price because you got it for free?

 

[Highfather_24]

I hate the fact that we are only able to work on one incoming transfer at a time. Forget the fact, that we barely are even able to sell players.

Good visualisation of the transformation that he would contribute:

 

[GoldanoGraham]

Is he back at pre season at Inter? He’s no longer an international so he has been off since CL final - would be good to know that he’s on his way to Manchester ready to join up with the bulk of the 1st team squad that arrive back on Saturday.

Possibly delayed to today/tomorrow as a lot of club and media folk would have been out in Oslo.

Assume something will be announced today and he will have medical tomorrow.

He did turn up for pre-season, there are vids in the Italian press of him arriving and fans mobbing his car and saying "please stay with us."

Some top players struggle to adapt to any of the top leagues. The PL is not as special or different or as tough as people think it is. The usual rhetoric of PL proven vs players from foreign leagues not adapting is lazy.

... but also factual

 

[mitchmouse]

I agree that it isn't guaranteed that Onana will adjust to the Premier League, but if that final against City is anything to go by then I think he's got a great chance. I'm sure if he has a couple of moments early on where his dribbling antics get him into trouble then he and Ten Hag will adapt his game to eliminate these issues.

I just keep going back to this video, in the final of the CL, against City. It's unreal how calm he is on the ball, and watching him come out for high balls and crosses is something I forgot that keepers are meant to do. Plus, some of those long balls up are


Consoling his team mates after losing the game like a leader, pushing Haaland because he was being a twat. I think his positives will outweigh any negatives he might have.

nice that someone finally answered me about crosses/dominating his area: I haven't seen enough of him to know (couldn't watch the CL final a I knew what the outcome was going to be). I wonder why you forgot that keepers were allowed of their line...

I get slaughtered by two (now blocked) people here for saying that this time last year. Right now, we barely seem to be able to one - the Onana deal looks to be in danger of collapsing, if the rumours are anything to go by. The new owner must get rid of the two clowns...

After contracting some of our resident lip readers I've managed to gain some more info about the conversation going on in this photo.

 

[JediSith]

The scrutiny Onana is going to come under after his first “playing it out” error is going to be immense especially if it’s early on. Every keeper does it, but going to be even harder for a United keeper. What’s worse is it’ll come from some of our own ex players now on TV.

 

[Yakuza_devils]

We need to get this guy at all costs. Even Pep said they can't press Inter high because of him. That's day and night compared to DDG.

Is it really though, if it's factual have you got proof to back it up?

Need to hurry up on this a striker and new owners

@Mr Pigeon, the video was actually a bit like that.

You'd hope by now people have been through that song and dance enough when Ederson and Allison first came here that they know not to panic. The pundits will still do their whole schtick dragging red circles around their little screen and making serious faces but I think the fans will know.

They taught Martinez couldn't cut it at center back and were happy with their mate Ole good vibes football. They know about the modern game as much as any keyboard warrior.
If you're a footballer you focus on your game and the managers instructions, there is a reason pundits are pundits and not managers. They were "slaughtering" Martinez after the very first game none of them is talking now.

You can't buy his goalkeeper jersey from the Milan store since today apparently

 

[sepulturite]

Where have you seen this?

Nowhere more than likely. Just talking out his arse. This deal is obviously happening.

 

[Santos J]

Probably because he plays for Inter

sorry

Why are you assuming we’re only working on one deal at a time?

This is true. They don't have the 2023/4 keeper's shirt in the online store.

Another myth that permeates this forum every fecking window.

We may do more than one, but it often looks and sounds like we're only capable of doing one at a time.

Walks and talks like a duck...

Except reports all say we're actively negotiating for Onana and Hojlund...

That's deflating.

 

[NLunited]

Hope it is not happening. I had him in my fantasy-football team last season and saw him playing often. If news are right, we are willing to overpay for a keeper who is clearly not world-class level.

He has great distribution skills and range of passing. His reflexes are good, but he is average between the goal posts most of times.
And most important, he has no leadership at all, saw him quarreling too often with his teammates. Not to talk about the dispute with the Cameroon coach during the last World cup.

Furthermore, Inter are in desperate need of cash to finance Lukaku's return, reported for 40 million euros.

There are other good keepers out there. We should act smartly and call our price, I mean a reasonable price. Not feeding other clubs up for their desire to get back fat-ass Rom

He is one of the best we can get, and certainly the best with his feet we can get.

Don’t fat-shame.
