Hope you’re ok x
Club hasn't done bad both last window and this but give it a few days and people will be going on about Murtough been slow etc etc
Inter got him for free last year? what the feck were we doing?
I'm fully on this one, it transforms the way we play like no other position. Without this signing the Mount one is destined to fail. We can work the striker situation out for another season but we have to get this done if we don't want more of the same shite we served up last season.
You do know that just because someone moved on a free once they don't then move on a free every time they decide to move on again right?
As someone who genuinely doesn't give a feck about athletes taking PEDs, it's good to see nobody really cares that this chap got done.
Really excited by this signing. I haven't watched him loads but I know he was highly rated whilst at Ajax and then watching him in the champions league final was a real breath of fresh air. Comparing his performance in that final to David De Gea in our FA cup final against the same opponents was night and day difference.
He will make a HUGE difference to the way we play, probably the biggest change possible to make in a single signing to be honest.

I mean why weren't we in for him? Ten Hag was already the manager.
He'd already signed with Inter before Ten Hag took over I think.
to be fair I did use that tweet as what I think is the fee we can agree upon. Would have been funny if I did write it before that was written though!Ole wasn't even sacked when he decided to join Inter.
He'd just come back from a drugs ban and left Ajax on bad terms I think. Was a bit of a gamble on Inter's behalf, plus I'm pretty sure he agreed that move in the January before moving in July.
I don't get what is wrong with this?
So, safe to bet he's going to be ours. I guess it's a matter of hours/days til we agree a deal.
Onana to Inter confirmed on 2nd July 2022. Ten Hag was appointed as Utd manager on 21st April 2022.
Plenty of time to save him from Lukaku.
We do have a form for it though Rio, Fred and now Onana If we ignore the flimsy defense .
Both sides want a quick resolution in this case. We want our new GK through door in time for pre-season games. Inter want to sell to get cash to comply with FFP and develop their squad. I’m sure if they just sat on a Zoom call they could negotiate something within an hour.
Does it? 39m versus 60m is a bit of a difference.
Its 7, 8 million apart now.
We were in limbo with no idea of who our next manager would be and still had an immovable De Gea under his silly contract. If we had hired ETH straight after Ole, we probs would have got him for free.
You've never accidentally taken a diuretic because you thought it was a paracetamol? I find that hard to believe.
It’s £39m vs €60m, don’t fool for this media exaggerating of the figures using different currencies.
Realistically it’s €45m vs €60m
It’s standard negotiation. Inter name a price above their actually asking price, knowing we will low ball first offer and then meet in the middle.
Same as what happened with Mount. Chelsea name a stupid price of £70m, we went in initially at £40m. Eventually settled on £55m.
This question certainly wasnt asked here before.
No the contract starts in July but he agreed on a deal way earlier than that. The rumour of a deal being done started in early November 2021 and was confirmed by reliable sources in early January, keeping in mind that free agents are free to negotiate with clubs from January 1st.
Here you have the deal announced by RMCsport.
Anyone who still goes on and on about the moving for free part is definitely a WUM by this point.
Arsenal came close to signing him in the summer of 2021 according to reports. And Inter were hanging around in case Arsenal pulled out of the deal so they could then sign Onana on a free because they couldn't pay what Ajax wanted. And as it turned out, Arsenal were quoted €15m for Onana but they wanted to pay €7m. And in the end they didn't follow up on signing him due to his ban and instead bought Ramsdale. Arteta and Edu have been targeting Ajax players for a few years now and after near misses with Onana and Martinez, it seems like they've got Timber.
And with Arsenal pulling out, it gave Inter the opportunity to agree a pre-contract with the player in January 2022 after being in discussions with the player since October 2021 per reports.

Our style of play next season is gonna look so much better just by the additions we’re going after. ETH getting his first choice targets will help.
Really have to get this one done. With the way the game has evolved, there’s so much more to being a keeper than being a shotstopper. Onana allows us to open up the channels and vastly improves our distribution. Creates more space for our forwards, makes the defense spread out to avoid the long passes, and in turn takes pressure off our back line. A striker is a must at some point, but this would be a fantastic fix to one of our most dire areas of need
Considering his international retirement, does Onana get enough points for work permit ?
I'm off work in 15 minutes. Hopefully United will make an improved bid in that time.
Can’t for the life of me figure out why anyone who’s a United fan would want to sign Kane. About to turn 30, and any transfer is going to cost big money while he signs a 4-5 year deal. Assuming his injury issues don’t pop up again, we’re getting maybe 2 more elite seasons out of him. Maybe. And then you’re bound to someone for another 2-3 years on high wages who United once again can’t re-sell.
If he was the last piece we needed, I’d 100% be onboard, but with us needing a new keeper, more midfield depth, and possibly a new CB, I’d rather patch all of those holes than dump it all on one man.

Alfredo Pedulla has been really good regards the news on this prospective deal thus far. And again today he reported the below information over 4 hours ago before everyone else.
United wants to buy and has the money, Inter wants to sell and needs the money, Onana wants to move to United. I really can't see this deal not happening at some point during the next hours or days.
5 years at Barcelona so he might have a Spanish Passport? If he does, he'll qualify under EEA inclusion rules.
I would say so. Pedulla has been very good thus far on this prospective deal and along with Di Marzio they've been ahead of the pack when it comes to relaying news surrounding Serie A clubs. Di Marzio (Sky Italia) in particular is very well connected in Serie A.
i wasn’t making points against your statement, just adding information. I’m fine replacing him but still appreciate his time here.
