Amadou Onana

[SA Gunner]

Duel monster

This is my concern with this guy.

Can he receive on the half turn and create the space we need centrally?

I expect that if we are in for him, there has to be some homework done in this regard. Being physical is not enough anymore.

You think Spanish Moyes care about receiving the ball on the half turn?

 

[Blankety Blank]

I like him but not sure he is needed tbh.
Possible TP replacement?
Needs to improve his passing but is very good defensively. We looked at him before he went to Everton.
Certainly wouldn't say no but not sure he is a priority tbh especially with FFP.

Absolutely

Why do you think TP5 is still at the club, because he is the always available, hard working, model professional?

Pretty sure they want to sell him.

So you think when Arteta wanted havertz and everyone and their mother said it was bad idea for midfield he saw something no one saw? And now Arteta sees something in onana no one sees? We know exactly what Onana is. Even Everton fans complain about how inconsistent he is technically. But he is a physical monster. If you think Rice not being able to progress the ball like Partey was bad, onana is even worse at it.

I dont know how you conclude that Arteta doesnt like technicality in players because we bought Havertz. I mean how do you draw such a specific conclusion when the very same Arteta has bought Ødegaard, Jorginho, Trossard, TP5, Jesus, Zinchenko, Raya.

Look, I get it. You want to always paint Arteta in the worst possible light, in this case matching up to your moniker.

But try and be realistic when you do this ok?

We need a midfielder in the mould of Iniesta or David Silva, not Havertz or Onana.

Fully agree we lack technical ability in midfield and as soon as Ødegaard gets injured we will really struggle. We played Jorginho Rice Havertz midfield vs Newcastle and we didn’t create 1 chance

 

[SupersoakerArsene]

Hes not our guy. Get Palhinha instead. Can play the ball to the right colour, instead of this guy...

Besides that, we still need a Ode back-up/creative midfielder. Get Barella in!

Seeing a few people coming out with that now. Would be an excellent, excellent signing.

 

[drippin]

"Per source" means Mertesacker or what? Sounds legit. (Not that I doubt it that much, just sounds like ITK guesses.)

 

[sub_sub]

Imagine how intimidating we would look in the tunnel with Onana, Rice, Havertz, Saliba, Gabriel and Tomiyasu.

 

[hydrofluoric acid]

Onana man handled Thamas Party so Im all for it.

 

[Vinci]

Onana....

 

[Gn1212]

I presume and hope this is just the club keeping their options open. I don't think he's at a stage that he can help us much.

I think he would be lost in the shuffle if he were to join us now.

 

[Nunowoolmez]

Have we deployed Elneny in a media role already ?

 

[GoonerJeeves]

Seems an odd one this? Unless we are able to move Partey on, which seems unlikely at the moment....

Why do you think we cant move Partey on? Almost healed from his injury and at his day best midfielder in the world.
