Raya was the player I wanted at the sort of fee being talked about, but I was assured that we needed someone better than that
Fairly mainstream opinion : Onana isn’t Fabrice Ondoa, or very good

Passing is team game, which demands a lot from outfield players, too. Also IMO transformative players are outfield players. Sure, Onana may be a huge upgrade on DDG in distribution when thing settles down in front of him, but the idea that a ball playing GK even one of the highest rated with their foot can suddenly make the whole team pass better from every area of the pitch is fantasy.
When a team pass well and dominate, they would prefer pinning the other team back, so however good the GK with foot, he is less involved. Ball playing skill is valued when opposition press high, and you take risk for high reward beating the pressing and exploit space. Not every team press high.
There was no better option available even if we spend Onana fee last window. Some people just think Neuer, Allison level GK are abundant, that we just need to pay the cash whenever we like to pick one of them. Played right into Inter hand, where they don't need to spend that much or see much downgrade in Onana replacement.
From what I’ve seen of Onana you would have been better going for Brice Samba, a fantastic shot stopper and brilliant with feet. Only down side is an occasional rush of blood to the head where he chins the opposition CF.
Taibi was better.
We need to bench him
He dives like he's under water.
Christ I miss de Gea.
Taibi's mum is better.
Nah, enough is enough. This has to stop now. Fecking bench him.
I like it when my keepers prevent the ball from going into the net.
I was trying to be a little patient. But he is looking quite poor, he keeps conceding goals I'd expect most keepers to save.
I genuinely want us to resign De Gea now. This guy is going to cost us so many point, he's comically bad at the most important job for a goalkeeper.
After 3 games we were saying he was the one positive
He is absolute garbage. 200M wasted on him, Mount and Antony. This club is done.

I’d enough with these silly mistakes. Bench him or cash him out.
He is gonna cost ETH his job
Problem is we have another clown on the bench. Becoming difficult to support ETH's decisions currently
Wow, this is quite grim to be honest. 
I don’t think there’s a worse keeper in the entire EFL.
Biscuits for hands
Diogo Costa was right there
At least he can play from the back...
...of the net.

Pretender. Pathetic
Shocking goalkeeper. Taibi looks like Schemichel if you campare them.

He is the worst keeper I’ve ever seen for this club and it’s really not close.
Luis Suarez would've saved that
How is he still starting games at this point? That’s on Ten Hag and him alone.
Another awful ETH signing to go with the rest of them
54m taibi
He's appalling isn't he.
Gave away Hendo and Kovar for peanuts for this clown.
Very possible.
It already feels like Onana is too far gone to save. He will struggle to regain the trust of fans and teammates which won't help his confidence. Becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.
Hopefully this is Ten Hags Claudio Bravo moment, problem is, Bravo was a cheap punt, Onana is one of the most expensive keepers in the world...
Agreed. We need to bring him back. He is the best option on the market. It’s not an easy position to step in. Even De Gea had to go through the trial. Onana is not fit for the job. This isn’t going to get better.
He does barely make a save tbh, it’s quite worrying.
Really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Contender for our worst signing ever.
Thankfully he still is, time to right this terrible wrong.
Every year there is one
He's a worse signing than Maguire.
Taibi
He's great comedy currently but not definitely doing a great job. He's clearly a better keeper than this and the whole team is a mess currently but the data showed he's not a great shot-stopper or very willing to come off his line (I guess the data ignored that he used to play for Ajax which is a key quality) so it shouldn't be a huge surprise even if he is underperforming his usual standards.
