Amadou Onana

[Dogtanian]

Better than nothing, I suppose!

[Ian.]

What a nightmare, gutted for Onana.

[AGRIPPA]

Every chance that by the end of this season he'll be averaging playing in fewer than half our league games since he joined.

As has Kamara….

[Exeter 77]

Presumably the  FIFA compensation will cover the wages of a loan player who we will will inevitably have to sign to repair him next season.

[Duncan Shaw]

Is it worth merging this thread with the Celebrity Fans one?  Poor bugger has watched more of our games than he's played in

It's at least one of these for the last 3 seasons for us isn't it?

Correct - in 2023-24 two in one week at the start the season, Mings and Buendia. Then February 2024 it was Kamara with an ACL. Kamara again in January 2026 with a PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) injury. Now Onana with an ACL according to reports. Lindelof maybe called upon more in the DM position He was great in the latter part of last season. However,  what terrible luck!

Didn't Onana also do his ACL previously for us as well?

[Somniloquism]

No. Mostly hamstring or muscle tears. ACL is Mings, Buendia and Kamara twice, although his were two different ACL type injuries.

[Brend'Watkins]

Let’s be honest, for £50 m this has been a disastrous signing. Good when fit and playing but any physicality and he’s crocked. Nobody is going to take him off our hands for at least 12 months if at all.

[Matt C]

We’re quite the connoisseurs when it comes to ACL injuries.

Onana’s wages get covered and we’ll remove his book value from the European squad so as far as SCR is concerned we have some flexibility to add a loan and/or use the book value deficit to make an addition. Doesn’t mean it’s not a blow in a summer when we’re up against it though.
