Yes he can make saves, great ones in fact.
He also has a massive pair on him.
His overall game would not be an upgrade from DeGea though.

He's just a modern day Jerzy Dudek.
This post is giving me barthez vibes
Of the songs quoted I only know that one and "That's Amore"...
Oh let me be clear I dont want him at United. I just thought to call him one of the worst keepers in the World Cup was a bad take. He is a perfect National teams keeper.
how so?
Inter has to sell, we've negotiating over a price, its not that we paid them a price they want right away, if we did there wouldn't be any negotiation.
Should we have extended DDGs contract? This is not a new development - both parties would have known about the expiry of his contract and the fee is nearly agreed keeping that in mind.
I like Martinez and certainly think he would be an improvement on De Gea, but he's not good enough on the ball to be ETH's long-term #1. From what ETH did at Ajax and seems to now be doing here (bringing in Onana), it's obvious he feels that it's vital for his play-style to have a goalkeeper who can be part of the build-up and find the right passes while being comfortable while being pressed. Martinez certainly has his strengths, but that isn't one of them.
I hope you are right man. I rather wish if we just pay up and move on. We need the player in early.
It looks all but done.
I absolutely think it should be something we base our back-up keeper on - or at least it being a huge requisite for whoever it is.(Unless Onana is brilliant at saving them of course)
Having a penalty saving specialist on the bench would be great.
Try google 'mason mount wages'. Most sites say 250k up to 300k.
Onana is not. He has about 21% penalty save rate - that’s not very good
And they are wrong.
Better than DeGea
Is it not? If the XG for penalties is about 0.88 or whatever doesn’t that suggest he’s doing better than expected?
If the PK taker completely misses the goal….does this count as penalty save?
Yes, the likes of givemesport.com and 90min.com.
XG for penalties are at about 0.78 or so
Well then yeah, our 2nd choice keeper being an excellent penalty saver would be hugely beneficial in my opinion.
The 0.22 not scored includes shots off targets though, so it doesn't reflect the expected save rate.
As per the below the average PL goalkeeper saves 17% of on target penalties.
his tactic of going the opposite way to the strike really didn't work
I'd rather believe in the papers/sites than some random twitter acc or trust me bro.
Why get caught up in it at all? Nobody except for Mount and the United accounting dept need know really.
Athletic reported 200-250k with bonuses
Mount is on 200k up to 250k with bonuses, it was confirmed.
Tbh I have no idea why. We're discussing Mason wages and I even said 'reportedly' since that's what I read.
Ok must be so then thanks for the info. They're probably the best source around I think.
Don't know much about him. Only seen him in the Champions League final when they lost to Manchester City and he seemed a bit casual, laid back and then a bit erratic.
Hope we aren't signing today's version of Barthez!

He seemed casual? what when he penetrated City's press on numerous occassions?
This is a good move at sensible price etc. Style wise makes sense. I do think people need to relax though. We aren't getting 'the best keeper in the world'. Not sure 90pc of people saying that cared about him before one single game. He can still improve though and is clearly at the top level with his feet. But that is only a part of what a goal keeper does
I think this quality that he will bring was one of the glaring weaknesses in our game last season and without addressing it, would hold us back in the modern game.
I'm not saying we're buying prime Nueur, but his ability with the ball at feet should transform our game. I think managers value this almost as much as shot-stopping ability at this moment in time.
Onana should allow us to exert greater control on games and keep the ball better. He may not be able to pull off those incredible saves DDG can, but maybe we'll have less attempts on our goal with Onana between the sticks and have an overall improvement defensively and offensively.
As you said, stylistically it looks like a perfect match on paper for EtH.
YES! It means that your mere presence deters goals.
I agree. The World Cup final shootout is a good example. Martinez got his hand to Frances first PK, and saved the 2nd, which meant that Tchouaméni felt like he had to get it right in the corner to have a chance at beating him, causing him to overcompensate and miss
In what way did he seem erratic in the final, not one bit of it did he ever seem any of those things you mentioned.
He nullified MC press from the first minute and picked passes between their forwards for fun.
That’s worth getting excited for me. I’m not expecting him to be our Manuel Neuer or anything absurd like that. But I have been desperate for a decade for us to become a team that has all the progress tactical qualified - intense pressing, passing it out from the back, being able to play high quality possession footy in the opponents box etc And over time it’s hit home just how important the GK is in doing that - 7 years ago I had no clue.
For that alone, and the teams development in working with that through repetition, regardless of him being a top top GK or not, makes this a signing worth looking forward to.
Because DeGea leaving means Onana wants to come here to be undisputed no1. And having to sign a gk to be able to not extend with DeGea, doesn‘t make our position stronger but weaker imo.
I'd like to think a fee for Onana was agreed prior to DDGs announcement rather than DDGs accouncement putting a spanner in the works.
