Confirmed Signing Amadou Onana

[bluestevon]

…yep, real mobility, pace & power. it’s the powers of recovery I liked, a few instances where he gets back to dispossess an attacker. We have too many midfielder who are out of the game when the ball goes past them.

Yup same, overall can see why he's quite hyped.

Him alongside Gueye, you ain't waltzing through that midfield for sure

Him and Gueye and it transforms us from being very immobile, slow, not reactive, to one that can hunt in packs, turn over possession quickly and help get us up the pitch quicker.

Suddenly the engine that Doucoure has might end up being useful if we decide to play a 3.

But by all means yes they are a far bigger draw than us, as are Palace, Forest, Villa and pretty much every other league team in the land of seeing though in the context of one or two seasons

lollollol

Just when I thought I was out…they pull me back in.

I have no idea how we get this done and still afford Gana and a striker, but I don’t care, it’s the first bit of real excitement we’ve had in ages.

I'd post a link to a Smiths song here if Morrissey hadn't gone all Mussolini and ruined their music for me.

....lord knows, it would be the first time

Looks a great player, fingers crossed we can get him in. My only concern is that a lot of those tackles are given as fouls in the Prem especially against the "big" teams.

Reports that we have matched west ham with the transfer fee. But we have offered higher wages, £67k a week, which is why we are favourites. I guess the ball is in West Ham’s court now, if they up their offer to the player.

 

[billybadger]

Sign him today, injured in training tomorrow… Everton that

 

[Houghty19]

If it's a £30m deal we only have to find £6m on a five year deal plus wages.

 

[lancs blue]

I just hope our wages offer is after tax

Because I'd guess we have more room than certain people believed we did mate. But in terms of doing deals appearing totally broke isn't the worst thing either

Anyone else think something stinks about this? Dont feel like were gonna get this done

I would have thought it's as much about game time for the lad. He will have ambitions to play for better sides than either us or West Ham in future, and he needs to pay to fulfil that ambition.

It's Rice and Soucek versus our midfield. Not really much of a comparison. Still not convinced we get this deal done all the same. I don't see why it would be priority right now.

 

[Goodisongang]

Out of nowhere, a type of signing we've all been crying out for.

Will also wind West ham up, all about this signing.
