Great timing
André Onana | signed for United | On a flight to NYC
- Thread starter Adnan
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Fantastic signing. On to the striker.
Decent backup to Heaton
Judging by his shirt number history, he seems to like No.24… which is currently free.
Start your own Twitter and do better than him then.
Time to unzip?
It feels weird to be this excited for a Goalkeeper signing. I really think this is one of the biggest steps in us really starting to play Ten Hag's football in a dominant fashion.
Based on the recent di Marzio Tweets, the sale isn't yet a foregone conclusion, but it's advanced enough to the point that Inter will be going after both Sommer and Trubin now. One can say that we've got our man, but United have yet to formally submit that satisfying offer.
Well we are getting a goalkeeper and CDM for the price of one
Cancel the deal.
The signing video should be him recreating the Vindaloo video with Keith Allen
I wonder what would make you make that comparison
Mine's smoldering.Cocks out?
Where are the spent Kermit memes??
Screw that, we should force the number 1 on him. No funny shirt numbers.
Cracking video as usual @Raees.
He's going to generate so many pages on this forum, especially when he makes a mistake and we conceed. But thats part and parcel of a keeper like him.
White smoke?
If him being 24 is a bigger mental advantage for him then Id have no issue with it.

You really should watch @Raees video if you think thats the case. The stats are suprising (not in a good way)

Di Marzio is saying that the clubs are only discussing bonuses. Inter have come down to 55m and United have gone upto 50m. Almost everything is ready, and it's just a matter of time before Onana is a United player.
€50m + €5m in add ons, which is around £42m + £4m in add ons if we convert €€€ into £££ sterling.
There's going to be a "number of goals scored" clause isn't there?
Erik wanted him by Friday- he got him by Friday.

Thanks. Feels like a poor signing for the money.
Doesn’t seem like he is considerably better than DDG at anything other than sweeping. Hopefully the ball playing ability is worth it.

Romano didn't break the news
Fabrizio days ago: Wed and Thursday are crucial days
- deal is reportedly moved to/closed to completion on Thursday -
Redcafe: Fabrizio didn't break the news. Fraud
Thank for sharing, found it an interesting watch even if it has made me a bit worried about how he will be with the traditional goalkeeping things. I suppose if he can transform the way we play and limit the errors then it will overall be a big plus, even if he isn't the best shot stopper or dominant in the air.
I think the 'aerial duel' numbers didn't make sense because it's not really a goalkeeper stat. I think it's only headed duels that count, so for keepers, that would only be situations where they've left their box to sweep and try to get their head to the ball before an oncoming striker. That's why all the keepers only have 1 of those 'duels' per 4 games or something in the stats you had in the video.
A better metric for a keeper's aerial ability is the percentage of crosses stopped, which you can see on fbref. For example, this has De Gea 9th percentine (crap), Courtois 91st percentile (elite) and Onana 59th percentile (decent) - which makes a lot more sense with the eye test.
Trubin is the best young GK in FM the last few years.
The only thing De Gea has over him are his reflexes.
I'm not bowled over by this one. Have a feeling he'll be ok, not great.
Obviously hope I'm wrong, and having said that I can see him starting really well regardless.

Trubin is a young keeper I mentioned on here last year as someone who we should maybe sign. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on at Inter.
Let's Goooooooo!!!!!
My one conclusion from video highlights is that he parries almost every shot, many of them back into dangerous positions. This makes me a lot more nervous than the passing/risk taking does.
Glad this is done. It'll be very interesting to see just how much of a difference he makes in terms of us being able to play out from the back and clear safely when under pressure.
