Brighton are wanting £65mil for one of there players Chelsea are after, forgot name.
So as others have said we sell Onana we are also selling any hope of staying in the prem
£80 mil for me

Caicedo, theyre asking £80mil.

Wouldn't sell at all unless stupid money comes in, Chelsea have been paying stupid money for everyone since that new owner come in though.

Exactly. It would need to be 3X what we spent which is £96mil.

The money Chelsea are throwing around is insane and Newcastle im sure would love him next to Guimaraes
 
Won’t be selling him mid season. He will definitely leave in summer though unless there’s a huge turnaround in our fortunes.

Other clubs will be waiting as I 100% expect his agent got a relegation clause in there.
 

Credit where it's due... We got this transfer spot on.

Bring in a player that less than a year into being at the club is highly desired by the top clubs.

When that happens so soon into his contract, you're 2X'ing your returns at the very least.

Was this a Thelwell signing?

Don’t think Thelwell is as bad as being made out.

He’s hamstrung completely by the ineptitude of previous regimes, and signings he’s made are the ones we could pay low to start off with, sadlg like Maupay and McNeil.

Hopefully a new manager unlocks Maupay though.
 

DO NOT SELL.....

Amadou Onana: Arsenal and Chelsea target ready for another step up​

Each day we pick out a player and cut through the noise to give analytical, objective insight. Tuesday's focus is on Amadou Onana.

  • Age: 21
  • Position: Midfield
  • Club: Everton
  • Country: Belgium
Amadou Onana has been one of the very few shining lights at Everton this season.
The Belgian has been a positive for a poor Toffees side, and the midfielder was also eye-catching at the World Cup when playing in an equally dysfunctional Belgium team.
His energy and speed really standout, even more so when playing in sluggish sides that lack intensity, meaning he is ready for another step up.
In terms of midfielders, Onana certainly fits more into the 'defensive' category.
His defensive stats compared to other midfielders in the Premier League this season all rank incredibly well. The Belgian sits in the 80th percentile for all of tackles, tackles won, dribblers tackled and fewest number of times he's been dribbled past.
Onana defensive stats

In that regard, his profile is fairly similar to that of N'Golo Kante - though he isn't near the level of the Frenchman just yet.
Onana is the disruptive midfielder, the man to win the ball back, but his on-ball game needs some work, especially in forward areas.
He averages just 2.26 progressive passes per 95 and 0.45 passes into the penalty area, which both rank among the bottom quarter of all Premier League midfielders this term.
Part of this is an area for improvement, part is down to the team around him and the system Everton have deployed.
While lacking attacking contribution from a passing sense, Onana is a goalscoring threat.
He has averaged 0.15 xG/95 this term, which ranks him as Everton's fifth most potent player, ahead of the likes of Dwight McNeil and Alex Iwobi, mainly thanks to his set-piece threat which can't be underestimated.

League-wide, that average is the same as Phillippe Coutinho's, and better than both Mason Mount's and James Ward-Prowse's.
He's far from the complete player, but the signs are there that Onana could be ready for the next step
 
Unless the financial situation is even worse than we imagined then he should not be sold, nor Gordon imo.

Young players are the future and can improve and develop even if currently going through a bad spell.
If Onana develops (and I believe he needs to, a lot, to reach his alleged potential), he’s got no part in our future. His only contribution to Everton will hopefully a better 2nd half of the season, injury free, then a massive profit. Which is exactly what he, his agent and the club will have planned when he signed.

I don’t rate him that highly, but we still shouldn’t let him go now unless he throws a massive strop.
