Great with the feet, but average, very average keeper (De Gea is better). Waste of money.

Why did Chelsea back out of the deal? Is the price ? For 40-50m that's a pretty fair deal for him. Other GKs of that quality are priced higher
That's normal, that's how transfers are paid. The absence of installments is what should be reported(when it's the case) because that's not usual, that's why for example the transfer of Javi Martinez to Bayern was big deal, it was a big fee paid without installments.
300k pounds less than DDG
Yep! Also, Maignan is on the ~same wages... Costa is on 28k...
Didn't reports emerge that they will stick with Kepa and Poch is happy to have him as number one?
Get your bets in for how many games it takes until a teams lobs him and the caf decides they want someone new like Oblak.
To the tune of Rockstar by N.E.R.D:
You think your defence line's okay
You think pressin'
Will save the day
You think I don't see
That you're running
Better call your boys
'Cause I'm coming
You can't press me
I'm Onana
I'm dribblin' here, there and all over
I'm a baller and my long pass pops far
Your press is bypassed now
Your press is bypassed now
I guess
You ain't heard that I break the lines
It's too damn late to apologise
When you see Garnacho running down the left side
Your press is bypassed now
Your press is bypassed now
Is he any good?
A potential Bonana skin signing
Give him 150. If he renews after 4 years it leaves room to wiggle.
A week ago, 99.9% here were like let's sign Onana, he's the best keeper ever bla bla. Now we interested, he's sh*t.
He does have a mistake in him but he is better than DDG
That's the cafe. We yearn for a player and look at all their positives but as soon as they're about to sign we focus on the negatives and rate other players as better buys
I think most are in agreement he's a good option?
A bit error prone, but very good on the ball. Ten Hag knows him well and obviously likes him, which should mean he'll be a good fit with his preferred system.
It's time to move on from De Gea.
Those beautiful line breaking passes from both Lisandro and Onana. ETH knows how to handle Onana. Costa is a good keeper, but Onana is a better option against top sides.
I mean, it kinda makes sense. We are awful in the transfer market in general so when we are actually going to sign someone, it stands to reason they are going to be a mistake. The comparison is the transfers we remember that we don't do or other teams complete which turn out to be great in hindsight and we forget everything else. We forget the 75% of everyones transfer business that turns out poor.
The 10-minute long passing compilations are great and all, but how good is he at actually stopping the ball going in?
If we never lose possession ever again, he won't ever have to make any saves.
Any concerns about him being unavailable whenever AFCON comes around? There's 3 AFCONs in the next 4 years....
The positive is it’s easy to teach a GK not to do some of the crazy stuff he’s done previously.
The hard part is teaching a GK to pass and start attacks like Onana does.
This should never be a big enough concern to stop signing a player. It's what maybe three weeks? In January? It's no big deal to me.
Not sure but I know who I’m captaining in FPL. Can you imagine the assists and bonus points!
Good. He's a good shot stopper, very good at dealing with crosses, can be a deeper but also is tactics tell him to he won't sweep much (didn't have many actions last season by the numbers), but best is his ball playing where he's up there with anyone.
Will he even play? He walked out of the world Cup because of the manager
he's very good, but also a snake who can't handle criticism or any other negativity.
Didn't know that, looks like he announced his retirement from international football too.
Result!
he is an average GK and already had some disciplinary issues both at his club and with national team.
we should stay away from him. Maignan is miles better than him
What about the African Cup? Missing your main GK for some games in middle of the season is not small thing.
A GK who is comfortable on the ball. Feels like a dream
Retired from internationals Christmas last year after falling out with the national team, so no worries.
We probably want to keep De Gea around as a #2 hence the hold up around him as understably De Gea won’t want to be #2. So we’ll be in the market for one of those too I bet.
He retired from the NT.
Last year at Inter he found back that form.
He did because of falling out with the manager. He could always come back when they change the manager.
I swear seeing a confident keeper will terrify since we aren't used to see it
Only watched the first 2 minutes where it shows his aerial ability but this is what I want to see more than anything to be honest. A goalkeeper confident claiming crosses.
Weird sound to the video also don't necessarily agree with some of it but at least it shows dealing with crosses. Don't think you can make a de Gea comp that makes him even try any of those
He's also saved 7/33 pens, shade over 21% so pretty average/normal in that. Though de Gea was good at them at the start of his career then went 5 seasons without a single save, so...

he fits the type of keeper that Erik wants, he's more athletic and commanding of his box than DeGea....what more do you need to know?
