This video is old news… Almost irrelevant to the player he is today.Almost all of this is of no direct benefit to his team or outright dangerous and stupid. Half of the clips end in him messing up. Wtf are people seeing in this video?! He still looks a good keeper mind and I'd take him but serious Barthez vibes off that video
What’s the price looking like for Onana to leave? Costa is younger though so has potential to be better.Onana in both aspects.
Mixed valuations being thrown around. I’ve seen €50m, £50m all the way to £70m.What’s the price looking like for Onana to leave? Costa is younger though so has potential to be better.
Nothing unusual then. Always the same.Mixed valuations being thrown around. I’ve seen €50m, £50m all the way to £70m.
Basically media outlets making their own calls or saying extortionate amounts to get clicks and reactions.
Yeah. I think people might be confusing "brave on the ball" with "good on the ball". He's definitely brave to take the ball on in those positions, but it's not necessary. What we really need is a press resistant keeper who just generally has excellent distribution.Almost all of this is of no direct benefit to his team or outright dangerous and stupid.

Onana was excellent in the CL final, even better than Ederson (who is widely regarded as the best in the world at distribution) at beating the press. If you haven’t, then watch that, not the old reel of extreme cases of him coming off his line.Yeah. I think people might be confusing "brave on the ball" with "good on the ball".

This. Having a press resistent keeper will make it much easier to achieve a numerical advantage when the opposition is pressing. But we still have AWB and Varane...Onana was excellent in the CL final, even better than Ederson (who is widely regarded as the best in the world at distribution) at beating the press.

I would argue what makes the best keepers good on the ball is the combination of technical ability and bravery/composure. No point being a great passer if you poo yourself the moment you are pressed, or not brave enough to leave your own box.
What makes a sweeper so effective in the modern game where is the keeper becomes an additional outfield player, making it a lot harder to press. This is the primary reason we are so easily pressed and dominated in games against Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal because they are the best pressers in the league and we have De Gea who cannot play this role.
ETH consistently has said he wants us to dominate games more and to do so, we need a keeper that is technical enough and brave enough to be our 11th outfield player when in possession. This is why I find it hard to comprehend that we would even want De Gea as a back up at this point, as he on his own changes the system.
Yeah absolutely this guy would be huge differenceThis. Having a press resistent keeper will make it much easier to achieve a numerical advantage when the opposition is pressing. But we still have AWB and Varane...

They were enquiring about Lindelof in the winter window. Would happily swap him for a much better keeper.Tweet

Take them allHey Inter pick any of
Maguire
Henderson
Telles
Williams
Bailly
Fred
Donny
McTominay
Martial
In fairness, its served them well.Good old inter, they’re always up for taking our deadwood
We’ve lost or are losing almost all our CB’s this summer with plans to sign maybe one. Wouldn’t be smart to let him go and scramble for someone before the window shuts.They were enquiring about Lindelof in the winter window. Would happily swap him for a much better keeper.
They can have Henderson? Greenwood? VDB? Take your pick lads.Tweet

The importance of a striker who can hold the ball up can't be underestimated.Tweet

Yeah look at a Taremi and a Thuram on free if that's what it takes to afford this guyFor me, we have to sign this lad or a better keeper than De Gea if we’re going to kick on next season. A striker will help but a class GK will make the biggest difference. Just throw money at him and hope we get the takeover done in time to sign a great forward too, or we ship a load out before the window closes.
20,are you actually jokingIt depends on what you cherish in goalkeepers.
Confident and comfortable in possession. I choose not to credit goalkeepers for distribution because it’s 60% on the receiver for me and 20% on the opposing team.
I won’t mind us signing him but I’ve seen at least 20 other goalkeepers this season I’d prefer, including some young upcoming ones.

No he wouldn’t… Inzaghi’s football require press resistant defenders that can pass the ball… You put Maguire, instead of Acerbi or Darmian, in the team they field against City and they are conceding 4/5 big chances in that first half…Jokes apart, Maguire would be a brilliant signing for them. Serie A will suit him perfectly and a 3 man defence at Inter will cover his weakness nicely.
Doubt he would want to move to Italy though .
And who exactly are these press resistant defender? I have heard about press resistant midfielder but to coin a defender like that is bit strange, considering that's not a trait I would associate it with a defender.No he wouldn’t… Inzaghi’s football require press resistant defenders that can pass the ball… You put Maguire, instead of Acerbi or Darmian, in the team they field against City and they are conceding 4/5 big chances in that first half…
