They won't, they sound more excited about this deal than us
Ye I’ve noticed that. They want this deal more than we do, they need funds. If they was smart they’d sell Onana and go for DDG on a free.
He was so flimsy though. Any time a shot at a good height came in from range you’d be covering your eyes. Onana is strong and commanding. He will give us all multiple heart attacks yes but the good will outweigh the bad by a large margin
Strong Barthez vibes in this video. Thought I'd do a search in the thread to see if Barthez has already been mentioned... 3 pages of results
How many times have the geniuses who referred to Barthez mentioned that we won the Premier League two times in three seasons with him in goal, I wonder?
Barthez is a top goalkeeper and a world cup winner despite his eccentricity. Until i see Onana play a proper match or two, he isn’t fit to lace Barthez’s boots 
I have seen him a lot. You will like him.Barthez is a top goalkeeper and a world cup winner despite his eccentricity. Until i see Onana play a proper match or two, he isn’t fit to lace Barthez’s boots

Here is the first situation of that video. Should have been a foul against him. Not saying that he doesn't make mistakes.
Now, if you want a bad mistake, look no further
So how long into the first game do we think the usual suspects will be calling for Onanas head?
Absolutely didn't mean it in a negative/derogatory way. He was entertaining as feck. "Taxi for Barthez" is something I will remember for the rest of my life
Barthez had some great performances. But in the end it was his erratic/eccentric behaviour that cost us more problems than solutions.
If he played for any other club in the world he would be fine. But at Manchester United every single error is magnified 100x.
Lets hope Onana is as mentally strong as De Gea, because he is in for his fair share of criticism.
Just look what its done to Maguire.
I just saw a YouTube video of Onana vs Man City. Negated quite a lot of pressing. If he can do that against City, he is going to really change the way we play. Can't wait.
Barthez, AFCON and 'why didn't we sign for free last summer' make up 2/3rds of the posts in this threadStrong Barthez vibes in this video. Thought I'd do a search in the thread to see if Barthez has already been mentioned... 3 pages of results
They need funds, hence why they're willing to lose the likes of him and Brozovic.
Would go a long way towards their summer plans
That's the whole point. We've signed Mount because we're planning on signing Onana, otherwise there's no point in Mount.
Both will signings will bring us that much closer to properly implementing ETH's preferred play style in season 2.
He had to do with DDG for year 1 but I never thought he felt he was his long-term no.1 nor did he offer what he looks for in a keeper. Sort of like Hart and Mignolet for the likes of Pep and Klopp before they got their long term no.1's.
Are our FFP problems only solved by receiving nominal amounts from transfer fees or will getting rid of player salaries also help?
We’ll see we’ve only just finished our last quarter of financial year, with record revenue of £630-640m predicted FSP states this summer we can spend 90% wh in ch us £567m
Wages down 16% to probably £325m
Amortised yearly transfer Fee owed £105m
Financials loss plus expenses plus interest on historical debt £70m looking at last quarter. Agent and signing on fees based on £200m transfers max 7/8% regulated by Fifa now so £15m in that line.
So £567m - £325m+£105m+£70m+£15m
= £515m - £567m expected allowance = 42m for net transfer amortise by 4/5 length of contract = £165-200m target .
This narrative was correct based on last years number and what they expected probably by second quarter when only a revenue of £570-580m was expected. After the third quarter results we soon changed from not wanting a number 1 GK to wanting one. Expect Mount £55m and A Onana £45m then we’ll sit around wait for players to be sold, we may even do a cheap
Loan for a number 2 GK, let All 3 go and promote M Kovar as number 2/3.then we will buy a number 9 or two from £70-120m
FSP allow us to spend 90% of turnover this year on wages, Agent and signing on fees, Financials and expenses.

There is 260m available from the credit line open with BoA but that doesn’t mean Glazers will allow it to be spent regardless of FFP (Infact they don’t want it spent)
I really hope so. I found it so frustrating that we'd gone and finally hired a modern, up and coming coach, but then only provided him with a few of the pieces he needed to implement his vision. I know we spent a lot last summer, but that would have been necessary anyway with the players who'd left. The squad's profile has been so badly managed the last decade.
It feels like the GK really is the main thing holding EtH back now. He can be creative in other areas, even in the CF position, but his style fundamentally rests on being able to play out from the back.
That's just never going to happen with DDG in goal.
Nothing like it, Barthez did it for the attention, Onana does it for tactical reasons.
You wouldn't understand the mind of a (goalkeeping) genius

You're right, I still don't understand this:If people are comparing him to Barthez, just shows how out of touch with football they are outside of United.
Cause he's a complete plonker.
Can’t believe people are still throwing the Henderson hat in the ring. Nevermind the alleged leak rumours, as you say he’s a complete and utter plonker and so overrated. He would be as bad if not worse than de gea with ball at his feet and he actually makes it look more awkward than him somehow! Should sell and get rid.
His passing and distribution is barely any better than De Gea's. His sweeping, command of the box and claiming crosses is better, but his poor ability on the ball means he would never have been the long-term option for ETH.
Can you imagine Onana doing this at OT?
Claiming crosses is one of the reasons I want DDG replaced. Guy just gets rooted to his box
you think they’ll wait until the first game? That’s optimistic!
Yes I can. And it will be glorious.
I watched Inter the entire season. He barely put a foot wrong.
what you’re watching is a comp from his Ajax days. He has improved manifold since. Far more reliable, far less erratic and far more tactical.
One of those high ceiling, low floor types probably.
This video was uploaded years ago. If you want to judge him, do it off recently.
L.OL?
Wait, so that clown Di Marzio was talking shit as per usual? Surely not.
£60m? I thought Inter were looking for €50-55m? Is this the English media making an arse of the currency exchange yet again?
Inter aren't asking for £60million ...
