Confirmed Signing Amadou Onana

[Bluemersey]

Ideally no. But we did it under Moyes for a decade, it's not uncommon.

And to be fair...with our finances waiting as long as possible seems to be the better bet just for situations like this

The difference now though is we were solid in defence and midfield then with an identity. This team will leak goals and is mentally fragile. We would be 4 games minimum because for all we know DCL might be out significantly longer in with zero points and suddenly adrift before an even tougher run of games. If this is allowed to happen then it's football suicide. We're would our goals come from?

First name we have been linked with in years that has genuinely excited me.

He is already pretty boss, only 20, will fill a huge void in midfield.

Massive sell on potential. Exactly the type of signing we should be making. A midfield pairing of him and Gana would be brutal. Add in Doucoure and Iwobi getting about, it's an exciting prospect.

I wonder if Frank would consider 4 - 2 - 3 - 1 if we got both.

Pickford
Patterson Mina Tarkowski Mykolenko
Gana Onana
McNeil Dele/Iwobi Gordon
DCL

That team can be top 10.

Ahhhhh why do I do this, just pump ourselves up only to be sledgehammered when we sign Winks and Che Adams.

The Minnesota game I think showed Lampard without doubt whst we needed to do to play the formation he wants, Gueye and this lad seemingly being the top two targets highlights that.

They come in we go to a back 4 during this season

Joyce now as well so it’s true. Bit bizarre this to be honest!

Onana


He's just sitting on his phone looking at Twitter to see who other teams are trying to sign then jumping on that.

Constantly refreshing

Someone has offered £30 million for Gomes and £40 million for Gbamin!

“Hello my name is Ulisher Asmanov I would like to buy players for new Uzbek team. No this isn’t fake moustache”

 

[DaChunk]

Can't get my head around this. Only possibly is that we'll be paying for him over a 7 year contract??

 

[Zeitgeist]

Moshiri wasn't messing around this time, jeez

Dunno what I'm more shocked by us lashing £30m about or him WANTING AND CHOOSING us at the moment?

Haha... Must be true then because Kylie minogue has just knocked on my door begging me to show her a good time. Must be something in the air today ?

Joyce says this is in addition to Gueye, not instead of. Hugely exciting not gonna lie, this could completely transform our midfield from dreadful, to potentially very good. Get a striker in on loan then we’re cooking.

Amadou oh na na

To the tune of Havana by camilla cabelllo

Or

Oh na na, what’s his name

To the tune of what’s my name by rihanna

Which one is better?

Rihannas

How about (freed from desire)

O Nananananana nanana nana... want more an more us scousers just want more more, give him the ball and watch him ... score

Surely that’s the point of signing Tarkowski, Gana and Onana.. to get back that solidity and stop leaking goals. The best teams are always built on solid foundations and ours has been a shambles for too long

Tell you what though, can't have any doubt it's Thelwell rather than Kenwright/Moshiri doing the deals, pretty much every deal has had hardly a sniff of it before being advanced - very different to recent years.

Can't get that rhianna song out my head every time I read onana's name
