Amadou Onana

[edgysatsuma89]

Don't see anyone writing him off to be fair . Just people questioning his injury record. Doesn't matter how good you are , if you are out injured for large chunks of the season you aren't much use.

So we bin off Kamara and Ramsey too then?

He hasn't said bin him off.

That being said, Kamara, given he is such a good player, has been some use. Ramsey hasn't been much use for ages.

2 goals and 2 assists from Ramsey in the last 6 games isn't 'hasn't been much use for ages' territory.

"Bin off" ?? Who's said that

[Somniloquism]

Noticeable that he was congratulating all the players in the tunnel at the end of the pitch side video. Yes, I would prefer he was on the pitch but he is still there to support the team when off it.

[Sexual Ealing]

I really like him, he's clearly very intelligent and seems totally committed to the cause. As a fan, he's all good by me.

If I worked with him though, all that enthusiasm would soon get right on my tits.

Onana is on the touchline during warm ups as well. He also did an on-field presentation a couple of games ago

I was impressed by his use of Powerpoint. He's a man of many talents.

He could be very useful if he can get fit for the last 15 -20 games of our season.

Yes, players will always pick up injuries of varying degrees but when you are forking out exorbitant transfer fees seeing them pick up a knock and being out for weeks or months really grates on me. It's fine thinking they will slot into our system perfectly but it's not so fine that every time they go down it results in them having to go off with a tweak or worse in the case of Onana. In the case of Ramsay, two injuries and Pau one, of the same type because of toe breaks due to having comfortable footwear giving zero protection it would seem. Is it too much to expect these players to wear more protective footwear for the purpose of playing football, something with a sturdy upper as opposed to the flimsy slipper material they wear now? Boots produced in the 1990s maybe?

As for Onana, bought with the purpose of being a midfield General the type of which we have always coveted.  He's been good in most games he's played but his ability to get injured is 2nd to none and at the point now where I'd say he's been a waste of money.

On the opposite side of the coin you have Watkins.  Rarely injured but when he was recently with a groin tweak and out for a few games he comes back as good as ever from the off. He's the type of player we need.

[ChicagoLion]

The most important ability is availability.

Yep, pretty much my view of him. I enjoy his enthusiasm... from a distance.

[eamonn]

What the Chris Heck is an on-field presentation ?!

[Demitri_C]

The defensive enforcer who was brought  in to help with our defensive issues - who is rarely fit

[PaulWinch again]

Probably harsh to blame him for this one.

[Demitri_C]

Probably harsh to blame him for this one.

Not blaming him for tonight more than he can never get fit.  Same issues as at everton.

Very frustrating  and i think the 50m could have  been spent  elsewhere  to help us

[aj2k77]

Him and Maatsen for £85m has been a total waste of money so far.
