Looks a prospect, but way off what we need to push on considering the fee (Everton already paid an excessive amount for him) and his inconsistency in the league.

gbandit Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Didn’t he choose Everton over West Ham when West Ham had been almost ready to close the deal? Not sure how interested he is in the project side of things Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 If Everton go down, we can just lowball Everton? They don't have any other sellable assets outside Pickford with DCL barely able to play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont see this potensial world class stuff. Hes not very good on the ball. Not terrible but Joelinton is miles better than him with the ball. He looks sometimes a bit clumsy. Good player, but as you say lacking. Lets see how he goes by when we are playing them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onana shading it for me. Probably Lavia but, as someone mentioned, City has a buyback clause on him for 40m so they could sink us. Lots of good options at DM Ugarte, Lavia, Onana, and several others. I like our chances to land a good one for a decent price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Spaceman Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Shit, didn't realise this was the Onana from Everton. Absolutely fucking not, we can do better than him. I'm sick of seeing him flop to the deck every time a player breathes somewhere near him. He's not a bad player, just don't think he improves us. Edit: And I had no idea that he was 21, thought he was mid to late 20's for some reason. A year or so of Howe...who knows what he could become.

STM Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 He's a full Belgium international too right? I think he'd be a safe bet but do the club want a safe bet or a future superstar? Go and get Palhinha. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lot of people seem to do this; “he was poor vs. us so he must be bobbins”. Thing is, we’re absolutely mint. We make most players look bad with how we set out.

Dokko Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 If we get CL, why not go get Rice? With him we're likely to keep getting CL. I could see it happening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Hes the type of signing we should be looking at and even bidding for. Arguably an even bigger statement than Bruno. Assuming we qualify for the CL like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Has anyone seen much of Manuel Ugarte as an option for the DM role? I saw some stats which looked outstanding, but of course that could depend on the standard of football he plays at. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only seen him play 3 times, looked decent against Spurs & Arsenal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) Onana is a good player but not good enough technically in tighter spaces under pressure imo. For the money he would cost I’d look elsewhere. Much rather him than mactom though. Edited April 12, 2023 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikky Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Just now, Ikon said: Onana is a good player but not good enough technically in tighter spaces under pressure imo.

Optimistic Nut Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Rice man. That'd be a massive signing. Normally a player whose next move would be Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, etc. If we got him that'd be the biggest statement yet that we're going for titles.

So it just depends if the Manchester & Liverpool based clubs are interested. Don't think Citeh need him. Liverpool really need a Henderson replacement, but look likely to miss out on CL next season, so Manure would be the competition, and why we mustn't assist them by buying their shite, topping up their coffers and freeing up squad places.
