Don't think it's that controversial of a statement. I'd probably say Garner, Gana and Doucoure are our best choice midfield at the minute? I think we definitely need depth but that's not what I'm saying. If you look at our best XI when everyone is fit I'm not 100% sure that Onana gets into it and I think that's fair. I still think that he'll go on to be an unreal player when he's about 25 and will probably be in a title challenging side by then.
He's on par with Garner, Gana is toast and should be the depth player. He's going to AFCON anyway. Still need a further depth midfielder.
Doucoure is the number 10, you put him further back and you make the squad weaker by putting him in a position he's not very good at and removing him from a position where he affects games. He shouldn't even be part of the discussion for the midfield 2, he should only be put there in an emergency.
If Onana is sold this window it means we're short on cash and he won't be replaced with a player on par with this abilities.
