Speed was enough of an abomination.  Speed 2 was a catastrophic decision.

^^ Thanks for the film info lads.

When does the season start again!

Isn't Schindler's List a brilliant film?

But these days it's Al-Hilal's list that draws the audience.

Sad thing is that 50m isn't that much these days. We got more than that for a bloke that started 7 league games in 2 years. I'm happy if Onana stays.

Another one for Onana staying plus it will not make much difference to our PSR issue unless we get £80/100 M which is unlikely.

Back to the football (although I could quite happily talk films) Onana I think, has been ok which is not great for a midfielder that cost £50m. As a destroyer, he seems to go down injured at the drop of a hat (not a good look in that position although that might be me showing my age) and isn’t assertive enough for my liking. He definitely needs to toughen enough but if it’s not inherent in his nature it’s not. I’m not sure he has the character to be the warrior we need in central midfield. I hope I’m wrong and this post ages terribly. I’ll be happy if it does.

His physique and athleticism mean his ceiling is higher than kamara and Tieleman, yet he’s a long way off their level at the moment.  Each injury slows his development and prevents him getting into a rhythm where he can boss games.

I like Onana but his technical ability is nowhere near level of the 2 you mentioned and never will be
His attributes lie in other areas

[PeterWithesShin]

For all his injuries are brought up he played 26 league games last season, in his 3 seasons with us Kamara has played 24, 20 and 26.

🚨 NEW: Al-Hilal have made an enquiry for Amadou Onana & have gathered information about the possibility of a deal this summer.

His first touch is sometimes dodgy like Watkins' and he goes down from hurty tackles too easily but his lankiness gives us something different. Keep unless it's 66m and above.

[Dogtanian]

Wasn’t there talk that his injury issues this season have been down to recurring issues rather than he keeps getting injured?

[Rigadon]

Selling Onana would be a weird one after just one season.  Both for him and the club. 

[PaulWinch again]

I think he’s got loads of potential and he’s shown it in fits and starts. I wouldn’t consider selling unless it was a really substantial profit AND we know we can get a quality replacement.

Although Diaby suggests there's pretty solid precedent when there's Saudi money involved.
