Amadou Onana

[AV84]

I know we've said there isn't, but it's entirely possible Onana was involved in the Tim/Dobbin deal too. Some kind of arrangement in terms of finances or price that included the swap deal. You never know.

[Risso]

Same here from my mate. Said he was the best of a bad lot, and won every ball that came anywhere near him. Passing was shite but he got a good reception because they like a grafter.

Was he the same mate that told you Onana had a 50p head? 
Took less than four minutes to rubbish that one!

Not guilty your honour!

But as i have reported previously my Everton ST supporting mate says

1) He is not very good in the air for someone who is 6'5"
2) When he does head it its like his head is a 50p piece as it goes everywhere

He says what we will like is his telescopic legs that seem to come out of nowhere to retrieve the ball and surprisingly his extensive passing range, especially out to either flank

My Everton-supporting best mate says he's great in the air. I guess it's the same with us, take two fans and you'll get two different opinions. The stats seem to back up that he's good in the air though.

Who's your friend by the way, Stevie Wonder?!

That was me and my mate who said - to be fair he was about a foot off the line when he powered it in - once there it would of been harder to miss.

All the skill was in the run  and the timing

Probably one for the TIL thread, but I always thought it was Rodney singing the theme tune and only found out recently that it’s actually the show’s co-writer, John Sullivan.

[Demitri_C]

Tim wouldn't play for us. Onana and kamara ahead of him. He would get virtually no game time and his value would drop. Good deal for all parties

That's not really the point I'm making.  I just think a PL ready midfielder like Tim is worth a lot more than Dobbin - hence I think we got the worse end of the deal.

We only signed dobbin to help them with their FFP position you scratch my back ill scratch yours type of scenerio.

Dobbin i guess was bought with idea loan to championship hope he smashes it then sell on for a profit next summer.

Timmy was never playing for us so i think it made sense to get rid. I think he is championship level tbh

He did. He wrote every single line from every episode in fact.

This has the potential to be the new why didn't GaryBarry let the keeper parry the penalty.

Was Barry the tall or the short Chuckle Brother?

Got a lot of character, hard working, big, strong, and with a nice touch of class on top. First game reminded me of Viera or Keane.

Edit to add: whilst I don't want to let his price tag go to my head but given the significance of Man U signing Keane and Arse signing Viera, I hope he goes on to have a. Similar impact.

[PaulWinch again]

I suspect everyone hopes that.

Looking forward to that battle next week already against 100m man Rice who is not twice the player Onana is!
