2022/23 Amadou Onana

[AdamEFC]

I'm just dreading a repeat of Gbamin. Please stay fit.

He’s already done more for the club than Gbamin did

Viera? Toure? Whilst I agree there may be a resemblance to one or the other the kid is still only 20 and is still developing. If he continues to do so then hopefully in years to come his name in its own right will be mentioned with the same reverence as those two 'greats'. And he is one of ours!

Technically you're right, Coleman was born in the British isles, just not in the UK

Mate I don’t even know anymore. Seems whatever you say on the internet nowadays someone is desperate to call you out for being racist, sexist or insensitive to a minority group.

I’ve seen one person being racist on this thread and he got called out correctly, everything else is just love for Onana.

The moment stood out most for me; if you look at our 5 v 3 counter attack where maupay should have scored… onana get the ball in our own box and finds gray with a pass. Allan, doucoure, davies would have launched that ball up field, but he had the calmness to take his time ans start a counter. Thats a sign of a good player and one we haven’t had in midfield for years imo

Loved that, really intelligent to stop and think before clearing his lines and putting us under more pressure. Patterson is extremely good at that as well I’ve notice.

' If you know your geography' we could make a new song out of that.

We don’t care what the ‘desperately trying to be offended by everything crowd’ say

He probably has some of it, I saw Vieira play like 5 times and he was way past his prime

Interesting, you are practically calling someone a racist online for comparing Onana to viera, yet you havent really seen viera play at all to understand why he made those comparisons.

You are the problem, not the other poster.

Fyi, he is exactly like viera in the way he uses his size and legs to win those slide tackles, veirra used to do it a couple of times a game alone.

He actually is similar in style to Vieira though.

That's what excites - reminds me hugely of him the way he plays - even got that real combative up for a fight edge that Viera had too.

His performance this early into his career in such a high pressure game was jaw droppingly good.

 

[Nymzee]

Told you he’d be able to easily handle being on a yellow.

For me Viera was the best cm from the entire 'premiership era' better than Keane, Makalele, Kante etc

This lad has the potential to be that good imo - he's got absolutely everything

The lads some player already and at 21 with so little experience it's scary how good he could turn out to be

I’m glad Big Kev took notice of my scouting report.

 

[Milkman]

I'd fully cack myself if I played against him. 6'5", strong and screams intensely. Makes a difference to polite Andre.

Coleman was born in Ireland.

? Mate, tbf never really heard of this lad besides one article on 'young talent in europe' .

Recruitment didn't get every position sorted to the degree we need - but have to say we seem to have recruited incredibly well and throwing on top the real financial constraints we had, they did an amazing job.

We can argue about timing of bringing in players or not bringing in certain ones/positions faster - but can't knock at all the end result of what we have now added (and got rid off too).

Bodes well for the long term
