Hafnia Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I've seen enough of the likes of Morgan schneiderlein, Jack Rodwell, John Collins etc to get easily swayed by a player who looks the part. Classy/elegant and all that guff. funny isn't it.... we lost a player like don hutchison over a few grand pay rise and some fans claim Onana is potentially a top player. Onana isn't a quarter of the player Hutchison was but you wouldn't think so based on hype. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 What hype Haf? Don’t see any anywhere. I see people talking about his potential ability, but I don’t see any hype. Some of us can see that he has the ability to rise up above where he is right now and become a very good footballer…. Which he already is playing regularly in the premier league. People are also talking about a reasonable figure for a transfer, even the media. But I don’t see anywhere rating him as a 70/80m player. Or making him out to be a world beater? Me and you live on different parts of the cpu try and possibly follow different streams of media. But over here in the midlands… Onana is seen as a decent player with the potential to be a very good player. Would we miss him? No not really based on his current ability. Could he become better and improve us? Of course he could with the right people behind him. This is why I’m indifferent to him going. I’m more bothered about keeping DCL as I know how hard it is to find a goal scorer. MikeO, Matt, StevO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana isn't a quarter of the player Hutchison was but you wouldn't think so based on hype. I think Rodwell was good, with potential to be very good. He moved at the wrong time, didn't get enough game time and also had injuries from what I recall. when I think of onana I'm prob guilty of stereotyping physique - I want him to be like fellaini - rough/tough in the middle and major pain in the arse in the box.

Sev Posted June 20 Report Share Posted June 20 I'm sorry, but if he's as good as some of you are saying then there would be and would have been plenty of offers for him. I just don't see them other than an interest and possible talks from the Gunners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sev Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 13 hours ago, Matt said: Arsenal I believe Yes. I said the Gunners But that's it, as far as I know. My point is that there would be more interest, talks, gossip from more clubs if Onana, at this point, was attractive to them.

Romey 1878 Posted June 21 Author Report Share Posted June 21 From the BBC. Quote Meanwhile, the Toffees have received a number of enquiries for midfielder Amadou Onana from Premier League and Champions League clubs. The Belgium international would cost more than £50m and, although Arsenal held an initial conversation with Everton regarding the player's availability, they are unlikely to follow-up their interest at this stage.

Sev Posted June 21 Report Share Posted June 21 Right. So from the Gossip page (I assume) on BBC Sport they talk about enquiries, in plural. And Premier League as it would just be one club, Arsenal ... so far. Would love to know who those Champions League clubs are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure whether it’s FFP, Euros, or both but there seems to be considerably less transfer activity in general. I’d imagine that’s good news for us unless we absolutely have to sell Onana or branthwaite to avoid a deduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d like him to stay as I think he could be a seriously good player. Of all our sellable assets though, Branthwaite, Pickford, DCL & Onana - it’s Onana who has brought the least to the playing squad & easiest to replace. Would love a Saudi bid for Doucoure to come in.
