That is a good explanation mate. Thank you… I agree with you, hope Heaton stays fit as 2nd choice then Altaycan stay as 3rd
Came for this
Can’t we just get Romero back?
Not if you ask his wife.
Surely this means Henderson leaving is advanced?
He’s a back up keeper. Aslong as he can make Onana laugh couldn’t really care.
Our final transfer of the window.
I pray to God that Onana stays fit and healthy forever.
sensible move from the club. with hands like that, he won’t be assaulting any one.
Hi everyone,
Just registered today to give some info about Altay. I’m 40, Turkish, watching Turkish league for like 25+ years, supporting Fenerbahçe.
He came to Fenerbahçe 4 years ago and became the primary GK after our long time GK Volkan Demirel retired. The team wasn’t doing ok at that time but he was seen as a good prospect for the future so the supporters gave him credit for errors which he rarely made at that time. I’d give 6.5 points over 10 for him for that season.
His second season was a lot better and we were debating if he or Uğurcan (GK of Trabzonspor) should be starting for the National team. Fenerbahçe was bad again that year but Altay was ok. (7.5/10)
Third season, Fenerbahçe started well but they struggled and fell behind in league race; Altay was making mistakes but almost everyone were saying “he’ll be ok, he’s young, he’s talented” etc. (6/10)
Fourth season, we had high hopes with new manager, Jorge Jesus. Our striker (Enner Valencia) was scoring well, team had a good spirit, morales were high but Altay made some incredible mistakes, making us lose valuable points. And in big matches, he failed big time. Also he had an injury+got operated, missing like 3 months. (4.5/10)
This season, we have even higher hopes with new players (thanks for selling Fred to us) and the supporters’ credit for Altay was even lower. He played 2 matches, he made mistakes and almost everyone started to say last year’s replacement GK was better than him and he deserved to play instead of Altay.
That was his story with us.
what I can tell about his properties are,
+ he has long arms
+ he’s athletic and he can jump, must have a good vertical reach.
+ he can make impossible saves sometimes
+ good on one-on-one situations
- he’s emotional and doesn’t have mental strength, can demoralize during matches.
- he has bad feet, don’t expect good passes
- he goes up front even if his defender is with the opponent player, this confuses the defender and creates chaos for the team.

I’ll be around you have any spesific questions about here/him.
thanks for reading

Must be one of the worst lowlights I've ever seen of a player.
Hopefully Onana stays fit.
Hopefully Onana stays fit.
If he's no good at passing then what's the point? We need keepers with the same style, so we don't need to change our approach.
Thanks for the feedback and providing some context. I'd say anyone can edit a blooper reel but his is fairly long, I'm sure he's not consistently doing those but cause for concern. At least there's no Arconada in there.
Our transfer ‘strategy’ really is just pick a name at random these days isn’t it.
Doesnt' strike me that way at all. If it was a lazy choice that has done the rounds in the PL, then maybe. But this is pretty obviously driven by the recruitment team, scouting, data etc and they think he's good enough and cheap enough to be a #2 or #3. It's probably not from Erik ten Hag and it's not someone you just stumble across at random.
I’d put more faith in picking a name at random then relying on our recruitment team tbf.
Let's just hope Onana never gets injured.
Nobody can match us at GK signings
Hard to say when most of the signings are heavily driven by the manager. It's not necessarily the case that they'd have plucked out the likes of Antony if it wasn't for ETH. I think it's our antiquated strategy that is a bigger problem than having qualified scouts and analysts.
With so many posters wishing Onana doesn’t get injured - you know what’s going to happen now in the next 2 games right ;-)
This. Close the thread.
They obviously don't have too much money to spend, and prospects that have a similar profile to Onana (like Suzuki) have been hard to find. They're also less likely to come and sit on the bench. City can do that with a guy like Ortega because he's guaranteed to win a few major trophies and enhance his own reputation in a really good team, so will have good offers to be #1 somewhere if he wants to leave after a few years.
We're literally just trying to find a body for training. I imagine Heaton would even start ahead of this guy when fit. He's a Ricardo, Van Der Gouw signing, happy to sit on the bench.
God forbid he has to play for any sustained period though.

Thanks man!
Interesting post. If he has "bad feet" then surely thats a no from ETH. His keepers, evem no2 has to be able to play out from the back.
Selling Fred for 9m and buying this guy for 6m, more genius work from Manchester United's recruitment team.
He has decent feets, both long and short passing is pretty good not as good as Onana but pretty good
He is only 25 he can also improve aboıt that.

It's not often we sign a number 1 goalie who's happy to sit on the bench, obviously it's a huge step up for him but hope he can settle.
welp hopefully he is ready for duty by january with onana possibly being gone that month. Funny those who werent wishing onana injury when this is about the same essentially.
So more or less we have swapped Fred for a back up keeper from the fees
Sağol abi! Having an emotional goalkeeper with weak mentality is not really making me confident what so ever. Can't believe that we are trying to sign this guy. I wanted the first Turkish player in United to at least be half decent.
So this looks like it's done.
Must mean Henderson is being sold, more interested in the sale price for Henderson.

Yeah hopefully it's not more loan BS
So we buy Altay…
For the amount we pay Fenerbahce they buy Livakovic who is a far superior goalkeeper than Altay…
What is the logic?

Well I assume Livakovic doesn't want to be backup to Onana.
You weren’t supposed to answer with an actual logical answer! It was a rhetorical moan.
