Should have known we'd get an influx of Caf criticism of Onana after the Pythagoras in Boots video dropped. The shills here didn't even care until they learned that Pythagoras was one of RedCafe's own. Now you can't go a single thread without a link drop. 
Seriously, though. Tifo ran a great video on him and we're highly complimentary of his upsides, not to mention that Ten Hag knows precisely how Onana will fit into his philosophy.

This is the way.

That comes with the territory of playing for Utd and he will need to be mentally ready for it. Expect every pundit, rent-a-gob and many fans to be comparing him to DDG everytime he concedes a goal or kicks the ball out for a throw in. Its important as fans to give our new keeper our full support (whoever it turns out to be)
A lot of the criticism he will get will also be thinly veiled racism, much like Souness towards Pogba.
I have no doubt he will be mentally strong enough though.
As an Ajax fan who really dislikes him for the way he left Ajax.. Onana is an absolute world class monster of a goalkeeper..
A bit excentric yes..
Will he make a blooper once or twice a year.. More likely than not..
But will he win significantly more points for you than he will cost.. 100%
And will he significantly improve our build up play because of his confidence and ballplaying skills.. 100%
And will he allow us to press higher because of his confidence and ability to defend further from his line.. 100%

Its funny because what that video told me was pretty much that he would be the perfect fit for how we want to play. I really hope he comes here and I am sure he will be a great addition.
Yes that also may add some extra pressure, i'd not thought of that side of things. Although I can't stand old Sourness, i think over his career racism is not a criticism he deserves. I think his very much over the top issues with Pogba were more of a generational midfielder thing where all the haircuts and dancing wound him up.
Btw this is the player they should have made a Freed from Desire chant for....
, that chant was made for this ladFreed from De Gea
This is pretty much it. I dislike Onana the person for that shit at Ajax, but as a goalkeeper he's great.
Not thoroughly convinced by Onana. I'd have prefered Sommer and a young modern GK to compete and eventually succeed Sommer.
Pretty much what Inter is trying to do for half the price.
But, if Onana helps us implementing what ETH tries to do. Then he will be a good get.

That's more like it my man
I only vaguely know what happened at Ajax, without me googling it, what's the story on what happened from an Ajax supporters perspective?
Ob-lad-i, Ob-lad-a
O-na-na, brah
La, la, how the life goes on
O-na-na, brah
La, la, how the life goes on
Hear, hear. Listen to the Ajax lads. They know what they are talking about.
Mortough done made it, I'm so elated
Made all of the payments, O, na na-na-na-na-na
Don't try to press him, just cant stress him
We will let less in, O, na na-na-na-na-na
To the hook on this :

Oh, another ball's gone in
In terms of shotstopping across multiple seasons, as per Fbref.
Allison (5 PL seasons): +17.4
Nick Pope (5 PL seasons): +8.2
Ederson (6 PL seasons): -0.7
Post-peak De Gea (5 PL seasons): -3.0
Kepa (5 PL seasons) -7.5
Ramdale (4 PL seasons) -8.8
Onana (1 Serie A, 4 Eredivise seasons): +6.4
The points I would take from this are:
1) Allison has easily been the best of these goalkeepers across the last several seasons.
2) Allison aside, the average level of shotstopping ability for goalkeepers currently in the other top PL sides has been nothing to write home about over the last few years.
2) Onana's stats suggest that even if we anticpate a drop off given the higher standard of the PL, he's going to be a shotstopper well within that range of most of the top PL teams.
In terms of the eye test De Gea probably looks/looked the best shotstopper of all of these, as he is the most gifted in that regard. But mistakes drag down your aggregate stats, even if you look great making the saves you do make.

What shit did he do at Ajax? I'm just curious.
Is it so close now that we can feel the deal’s breath on our neck?
As close as a demons whisper.
This transfer reminds me of that story about Achilles and the turtle...
Accidently took medicine that is on the dope list, got long term suspension from playing and training. However Ajax was still being fully supportive. Returned from suspension in his last year contract and refused to extend which Ajax saw as an ungrateful act.
Whatever it was it cant be that bad or Ten Hag wouldn't be buying him now, considering he was his manager at Ajax.
Don't worry I'm just curious. And imo it can be that bad and ETH still buy him if he thinks Onana can help the cause. Imo ETH seems to be all about football. He wants to keep MG you know.
I see thanks for the info mate.
Ajax supported him through his drug ban, then he rewarded them by leaving on a free. Did I get it right?
Yes it seems. Thanks mate.
Do you mind explaining the stat, please? How is the number calculated. Genuinely didn't know if positive was good or bad
You've been holding RedCafe back for 10 years.
Cool story bro.
Harsh on BluesJr.
He also performed very poorly in the short period he was still at Ajax after the ban expired and before his move to Inter - possibly due to a lack of motivation/caring.
Djokovic seems unstoppable. His opponents know they're beaten before they start.
Onana never stood a chance.
