Player Valuation: £15m
Definetly agree that Onana may need time to adjust. He is a young lad so has lots of learning ahead of him.Still imo need another in cm after Gueye.
Devil's advocate -
Onana is new to the league and still only 20 and will need time to settle and develop.
Gueye is 33 soon and his games will have to be managed for him to be fully effective, we risk him breaking down if we flog him for 90 mins for 40+ games.
After those we are back to the group who showed simply they collectively and consistently not good enough without better players alongside them in Dacoure, Iwobi, Allan etc.
Need another quality cm in whose young enough that he can hopefully develop further but whose already proven to be good enough now (Gallagher).
We need to be careful and manage expectations so he gets the support to reach his potential.
Last thing we need to do is heap all our expectation on to him, ship out all other options in that area of the park without replacements and expect him to sink or swim.
