Bizarrely enough it isn't. Last season Onana was one of the worst sweepers in the world.

Inter play much deeper, very little chance to get those numbers up.

Also 0 goals, most probably 0 tackles won too. Can't believe we are wasting 50 million Euros on this shit player.
So Barbara Ann by the Beach Boys or did you think this was a Minions original track?
Garbage in = garbage out
Yeah, I'm not convinced.
Yeah, I'm not convinced.
The agreement between Onana and Inter was confirmed in the press as early as the 21st November, 1 day before Ole was sacked.
Onana a midget beside him... Send him back
Who the hell are the Beach Boys?
Table tennis
How about something to Fu-Gee-La by Fugees?
A rap group from Brooklyn
Rap groups are notorious for their ironically humourous names and 60s surf party music.
So you’re saying he’s scored no goals?Yeah, I'm not convinced.
Can’t believe we’re spending this amount on a non goal scoring goalkeeper, what are we thinking?
He's meant to be great with his feet, but he doesn't take penalties; he doesn't take free-kicks and he doesn't take corners. So, how great can he possibly be?
Apparently he's a good sweeper too, which is relief tbh. Have you seen the state of the floors in the stadium? Yikes.
One of the greatest bands of all time, that's who.
The Beach Boys are not The Who
Why couldn't Utd have signed him at the time Inter did? Obviously the ETH link is a boost but he didn't need to be the manager for the powers that be to make a decision that they needed a new GK, something that was pretty evident for a while.
Because we already had a keeper with a massive contract.
Which illustrates my point entirely about Utd's forward planning. Had a year left on his deal and was playing terribly. Yet they left themselves in a position where they felt forced to play him.
Should have made the hard decision then and told him it was over and he wasn't going to be #1. Not like it could have gone much worse than the utterly clueless approach to negotiating his contact this summer...
Some say pet sounds is the greatest album ever.
He does parry. But he claims 5x as many crosses as De Gea statistically.
To be fair to the club, De Gea's worst seasons stat wise fall on the same seasons that the squad downed tools for both Mourinho and Ole. The seasons around then and including this season have carried his best clean sheet seasons in consideration of league positions etc.
He wasn't a modern Sweeping Keeper, and the club should have acknowledged that sooner if it were the direction the club had to go (Ole said as such, and it was reportedly Murtoughs primary vision for the club) that we play progressive football on the front foot, however just as Erik thought last season, the keeper we had was solid enough to allow time to fill the other gaping holes in the squad. Onana making himself available and his rise back from the ban have sped that process along and opportunistically it has coincided with De Gea's contract expiring.
I'm sure there would have been no issues having a player who is well liked in the dressing room stinking the place up because he's no longer #1, alongside a certain Ronaldo who was complaining every single second about anything he could. All at a time when nobody knew who was going to be the next full time manager and team morale was already low as feck.
But, yes, let's sign a keeper who was still relatively unproven to replace de Gea simply because hindsight shows that he did end up having a decent full season at Inter and a great CL campaign.
Because he’d already agreed with Inter as per all Sky Italy sources in December 2021 ffs, 5 months before ETH became our manager. How many times does this need explaining?
It's 2x. De Gea's cross claiming is shit, but Onana is just average.
Yeah, I'm not convinced.
Those stats look bad, but remember that Onana is a midfield engine, not a final-third player
Try reading my post again FFS.
+1
One of these things is not like the other.
In 2022 we were stuck with his enormous salary and no way to move him and so signing another keeper on big wages was a non starter
In 2023 his contract expired freeing up 375K a week, that alone provided the budget for his replacement
Well, there were two keepers at the club on almost 500k/week combined. The club with Ole and Rangnick afterwards didn't see the need for a new keeper when they had those two already.
Imagine Eminence Front playing as ETH walks out with the PL trophy getting a guard of honour end of this season
