In a badly run club it is… weTrue, but ultimately, its the manager who wants certain players. No one forced the likes of Arnold or anyone else to spend £166m on three players who haven't improved us.
I think with signings, how you start dictates fans view thereafter. Doesnt help when you take over a club legend especially how it happened.Agreed. Even with a new manager, there's no way the club will sanction another #1 keeper after having paid nearly £50m on one last summer. Unless Onana continues on his early season form, I can't see him going anywhere.
That's why we hire managers at £9m / year to make the right decisions on behalf of the club. The owners and executives have been notoriously bad, but more should be expected from the managers we hire.In fairness fans have the benefit of hindsight when it comes to opinions on signings.

I agree. Expect him to have a better year next season as the team as a whole continue to improve.I think with signings, how you start dictates fans view thereafter. Doesnt help when you take over a club legend especially how it happened.
I think hes generally been ok in an horrendous season in general. Whilst he might not be good enough, no utd keeper has had a worse defence in front of them....
I'm resigned to giving him at least another year based on numerous other factors, but I'm still worried about his weaknesses, which were exposed this season. If he was a free signing it would be a different story, but he cost one third of our budget. That money could've been spent elsewhere.But Onana, errors in the CL and all, has been observably positive during the league campaign. Considering his first year in a difficult position, he probably deserves another year. Just.
EtH has gone backwards, as did de Gea over a much longer period so the two aren't really the same thing.
Whilst that was obviously a lowlight reel, I do remember by the end of the season how it was so clear his level had dropped considerably.Bloody hell, I forgot how bad he was.
It wasn’t last summer either uit that didn’t stop them. Newcastle rumoured to be in for Ramsdale for £15m - we should be in that conversation at that price too!!Upgrading the keeper position is not a priority this summer[/B]. As bad as Onana was most of the season, he did show flashes of brilliance upon his return from AFCON. Let’s give him another season, but we should keep an eye on emerging talents to bring in and possibly challenge Onana, whose position in the squad is a bit too secure IMO.
That's Onana for you. Not good enough and needs to be replaced.Been good today and then drops a clanger.
Him all season. Always a clanger in himBeen good today and then drops a clanger.
Classic Onana.Been good today and then drops a clanger.
You just can't have a keeper who is so consistent in their ability to drop a clanger. This myth that he was only bad at the start of the season is just that. He had a brief spell with no clangers then he's back to doing it consistently.
As I've said all along even the saves he made today you see that weird habit of the ball coming off at strange angles; one pops straight up and luckily out for a corner the other angled back the unnatural way and straight in to the danger area (though luckily offside).
Hopefully ETH gets a decent job after us and maybe he'll take him with him again.
That's not the right comparison at all. Ddg was young and upcoming with a ton of potential. So we saw the upside and stuck with him.I mean, De Gea was very very shaky in the beginning of his time here but everyone and their dog could see the huge upside to him.
What's so promising about Onana?
