2022/23 Amadou Onana

[CielosGrises]

Did less than most of the midfield but still think he contributes more than the alternatives (Davies, Garner).

Was playing it safe - difficult to know what Dyches role for him is.

As we tend to do to most players who have some talent.... we drag them back down to our level.

I agree he needs to get out of this phase and step it up in the last games, and really he is the only one who can drag us through the run in.

To say he is sub standard and similar to the likes of Gylfi, Iwobi, Bolasie, JPG and so on that we have spent a lot of money on in recent years is far from the truth.

Expect even in the summer we will get min 40-50m for him as he won't be staying around in the championship.

He will definitely be off and he's one of our last genuine saleable assets but I'm not sure we'll be in a position to get his full market value if we're in the Championship, think he will go on to be a top player once he matures just a shame we won't see the benefit.

Guess you haven't watched city then season mage? Grealish has been superb

Indeed, he's been very good. Just pointing out that if Onana was as good as some people seem to think, we would see it

 

[Ralphie Boy]

Will help us to reinvent the team in a way to get promoted first time without spending a fortune we don’t have.

If we drop down there's zero chance he stays.

If you thought Lukaku was gobbing off on Belgium trips..... Watch this space.

We might make a small profit, but there's not a hope he's wearing an Everton shirt in the Championship.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Nothing burger of a player

At the moment we're not getting our money back on him, never mind a profit

I actually think it'll be less him actively wanting to get out but more that the club will feel they would simply have to cash in on him regardless..

 

[Zatara]

Romeo Lavia cost less than half what Onana did, is 2 years younger and, in a worse team he’s been excellent.

Quality player but a different type to Onana.

As with Garner, I think Lavia would look great with Onana in a double pivot.

 

[Lloydystark]

Their midfield passed us by when he went off.

Their whole team passed Godfrey every time they came near him

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Their whole team passed Godfrey every time they came near him

Yes, as noted by about 30 pages in the Godfrey thread.

He needs to do more in my opinion. I'm not too sure what he's offering at the moment. Against Leicester I would be inclined to drop him and move iwobi central and put gray on the wing. I think that looks like the most productive option. Would still have doucoure and gueye in there.

Yeah we really missed him in one game, we thought we did, then he came back and did absolutely nothing.

 

[EGWToffee]

I keep saying it… this guy should be dominating the central midfield. His athleticism and size means he should be a Viera type.

However I see a player who’s in cruise mode. Doing as little as possible whilst holding his position. He’s not giving in my opinion there’s definitely a few more gears in him,

 

[blueconverse]

50 mill in the summer would be very good business if we stay or go.
