2023/24 Amadou Onana

[Exeter_Gently]

Am fine with it as long as a replacement is there.

Think it's obvious we're in need of the short term cash just to stay afloat so expect a balance of lower fee than we might expect with more of it being paid upfront. Maybe the deal could be sweetened by getting Smith Rowe on loan in return? Wouldn't fill the gap Onana leaves behind but would offer a bit more cutting edge in attack than we currently have. Then it's over to KT to conjure up a direct replacement.

My argument with it is that a sale of someone like Onana should be done in the summer when we can properly plan around the income we get.

Club is obviously in a dire financial predicament.

Arguably we’d need two players in as well.

Wrong time to sell, tell them to eff off and come back in summer.

Onana has already done a Lukaku by speaking about leaving Everton while on international duty.
A double your money return would be hard to refuse and Thelwell has done well so far in the transfer market.
But, we absolutely cannot sell until a replacement or two are lined up.
This may explain our chase for the young Man Utd midfielder.

Don't believe this tbf.

We've been toeing the FFP line for a long time, and had to loan in Raya as we couldn't Afford £30m, this only happens if we're selling a player like Partey *Who's Injured* to Saudi, or Academy Graduates like Nketiah / ESR which Equals pure profit

But for us to just find £50m behind the Sofa, hogwash.

Some bright sparks at Arsenal decided £65m and £270k p/w is top business for Havertz.

12% over the fee we paid for him goes to his former club ......

If its for the FFP/ P&S it's way too late , they were submitted by 31st December.

Probably used for the running of the club & stadium seeing as Moshiri cant/ won't put any more money in.

We're going to be selling one of our better players each year for the foreseeable future, just to satisfy P&S

Toeing the FFP line for a long time - by spending well over £200m in the summer, before getting Raya in on loan?

Any money you have to spend needs to go on a striker.

Havertz is a shocking signing. Silky player but lightweight and does not improve you one bit. Waste of money and wasnt what you needed at all.

 

[GoldenToffee]

Heard we're looking to Jordan Henderson to replace Onana.

[HowardsWay]

And he'd barely play for Arsenal before the summer too

Hard to believe they are interested...unless they want to become a mid table team. Take the money and run....

Holy moly!!!!

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Maybe it's all about opinions. But I trust the arsenal and barca scouts over those in here that don't rate him.
Same people that prob rated Tom davis.

Onana will go on to play champions league regularly for a top club. That should end any discussion whether he is good enough for us.
