As much as I like Handa he definitely started showing his age for at least the past 2 seasons. He is so incredibly slow when he gets the ball and needs to distribute. Doesnt matter if he just needs to pass to a defender, put the ball out or just long pass. He is slow as shit and to me it looks like his decision making time keeps increasing, it got to the point it just makes me mad seeing him fart around with the ball.
He is still a strong and experienced GK with a couple years left if he chooses to keep playing but not first choice for us.
As for Onana .... Big boy, big reflexes and one of the better options out there but some of the shit he pulls will just pop a vein in your head. I remember him casually dribbling an attacker, actually going past him then losing the ball because he was just fucking around ( too lazy to look for the video im sure its easy to find ).

10 years of FIFtbh he's also not really been *that great* under pressure on the ball. he's learned to do it with Conte and Inzaghi, but I think a more ball playing keeper which apparently Onana is, would do better?

Yeah he was always just decent at most when it came to playing the ball and that was somewhat improved when Conte took over.
Onana is a better GK when it comes to passing and dealing with the ball at his feet under pressure. But I did see him come out far into no mans land quite a few times for no apparent reason and also trying to dribble. Pretty sure Serie A is not really the league to do that kinda crap.

10 years of FIFHandanovic as the 2nd keeper would be very important to have. He would ease the pressure on Onana a lot, giving advice when needed, specially as he's the captain (and will be former captain) and his presence on the locker room will be important (given he's the type of person who's okay with being downgraded from 1st keeper and captain to 2nd keeper with no captain armband).

Handa said in an interview before the season or in first weeks that he will stop playing when he feels like he cant improve anymore and he feels like he's still got some years left. So yea, i dont think he will stay to be a backup, when he can go to a team that will fight for something like a 3-7th place.

Forum Supporter10 years of FIFUntested? Guy has proven himself at champions league and international level. Has won african goalkeeper of the year, eredivisie team of the year, African team of the year.
As for the heart attack comment that has to do with onana's style. He plays sweeper keeper like neuer. So occasionally it goes wrong but it also allows him to prevent chances before they happen.

FIF Special OnesI actually think Handanovic is underrated with his feet, he has improved A LOT in that aspect. And to do it so late in his career to keep with the way football is played now. I give him a lot of kudos for that, but yes Onana is more comfortable. He’s been raised playing with his feet more then Handa.
Handa is still better with his feet then Donnaruma though which is surprising given the generational gap.

Best Overall PosterI disagree about Miranda. When he joined Inter, he was 31 and he was getting benched by Gimenez at Atletico. His decline had started and he wasn't good enough for the top level anymore. A move to a lesser club than Atletico (level wise) at the time was the necessary step to become a starter again. Miranda was great for Inter and i still have a soft spot for him but the version we saw at Inter was far from his best.

The goal was a fault of Skriniar/DeVrij . Handanovic missed it... but in fact he has the same chance to catch that ball vs facing Immobile 1 on 1 (I would say even higher) ... So I don't take it as a fault.
