Amadou Onana

[oldtimernow]

100% the midfielder we've been missing.

I’m getting Patrick Viera type vibes…🤔

[Percy McCarthy]

Chuffed if we get him. As I said when Dougie left, if we buy Onana we’ve upgraded midfield.

Slight aside but getting away from that new Everton ground isn't going to be quick or easy given a lot of it is surrounded by water and it's the wrong side of Liverpool.

Easier to get away from than Goodison.

You've got Sandhills station over the way and that's 10 minutes to Headbolt Station if you've parked and rode in. Going the otherway you're 5 mins train to Central and a short walk to Lime Street. It's also not particularly far to walk into the City Centre down the Strand.

Parking wise there's a pair of £3 all day car parks near Pall Mall over Leeds Street, although they'll likely be £10 jobs on match day.

It's very easy to get to and will be a cracking away day.

Some proper tacklers and tracking back in the midfield now.

There are. I fancy us to finally twat Newcastle away from home as a result.

He's really raw, playing for a manager that bypasses the midfield and has them sitting deep and narrow, usually flooded by an opposition press. How do you stand out in that? He's coming to play for a genius and is basically a nipper at 22.

Really raw for £50m? Nah, he's already shown enough quality and maturity for club and country from what I've seen.

With all these midfielders will we see more of Youri or Super John McGinn playing off Ollie?  (Especially if Diaby goes).

He's inconsistent and I don't think he's as good a passer as Dougie is yet. At 22, he's nowhere near the finished article and I wouldn't expect him to be. I think his potential is much greater than Dougie mind, because he's so much bigger, stronger and quicker.

Good stats, but he spends less time between passes than any other Everton player. The antithesis of a Dyche player.

Fair enough I look forward to going there looks a cracking stadium.

Imagine going from the coaching of Dyche to Emery. Watching Everton last year was like going back in time 30 years.

Onana: Unai's gonna love him - some bits from a piece on him in The Athletic

Onana watches footage back as soon as he gets home from a match, then does it again the next day, “just to see what I can do better”. He is a keen student of the game and is constantly looking at where he can improve.

“There are more experienced players than me and players across the league I can learn a lot from. You can never learn enough. There’s always room for improvement.”

Romano just tweeted deal done.

We have Tielemans, Barkley and McGinn who is a very underrated passer to help out there. Onana can get up and down the pitch and do many of things those players can’t. That’s what we have bought. A really good player who has  age on his side and the chance to become outstanding.
