André Onana

If we get Trubin, imagine for how long we will have Trubin, Bastoni, Barella, Asllani, Frattesi, Dimarco, Lautaro and Thuram playing for us <3 <3 <3


don't want to sell Onana tho

apparently trubin commented on romano's post about onana move to united looks like he's excited to come here so that's a good sign

You also miss the point. If the club is desperate to sell and everybody knows it, they can try to bully and get as much as possible discount. If there is not such a situation, we just tell them to GTFO. Just like West Ham did when they didn't like the offers of City and Arsenal for Rice.
The summer when we sold Lukaka for 115mln, we hadn't forced to sell after the departure of Hakimi. So, the management was able the squeeze the maximum from Chelsea. But, if Hakimi wasn't sold, and Chelsea knew it that we have to sell somebody. They would never have paid 115mln for Lukaku. Most probably we would have accepted something like 80+bonuses.

Okay genuine question, are we forced to sell Brozo and Onana? I thought we don't need to sell this summer cause we got that far in CL, no?

I don't want Onana to leave either. Let alone spending most on Lukaku. But I seen this on several threads so must say. Please guys, selling a player =/= forcing out. Ofc only good players receive significant offers. We want quality but poor af and need resource to operate; selling is a must. We can't keep a cake and eat it too.

Unless you're Chelsea

Why can’t we have nice things

Hard to accept that a keeper like Onana, who has a specific skill set that allows teams to build from the back is being sold for just 60 M euros.

Also, what risk is ManU incurring ( apart from the usual ) in investing in a player like Onana? He is mentally strong and has been tested at the highest level.

Replacing Onana with a young keeper , there lies the risk.

Wait till Inzaghi has a translator tell him that he’s too young and won’t be starting for Inter until he has a few years of sitting on the bench and is completely fluent in Italian.

No. But we have many people leaving, like Skriniar, DD, 5G, Lukaku, Dzeko, Bellanova, SDV. The club needs money in order to fill the gaps. So, they decided to sacrifice some players for thet purpose. But since all media is alarming that Inter first need to sell before to buy, I don't blame the other clubs that are trying to get an advantage of that.

Yeah play hard ball with them. Do not sell him cheap. 60m+add ons.

Not happy with Onana leaving, specially about all these talks about selling him so we can get back Lukaku. But with all the reports circling around I think I have to live with the fact that we'll eventually sell him.

Am I the only one that thinks 55 mil isn’t a terrible fee? He would still be one of the most expensive goalkeepers in the history of the game. And most of the goalkeepers that have gone for more money were younger when they made the transfer. Onana is by no means old, especially for a goalkeeper, but that means something.

I mean we got him on a free with no competition besides Marseille a year ago. I wish he would stay as our keeper till he’s 35 but this isn’t a bad sale price imo. The real issue is how we intend to use it.

55m is not a terrible fee, but for EPL clubs that spend crazy amounts on inferior players 55m is not much.

No, we don't need to sell but we want to. CL run allowed us to keep our team the same which probably included Lukaku on loans with the same terms.

But a few things changed and we don't want to keep the team the same. Selling Brozovic was a tactical decision, we saved on wages but his price was pathetic, then we spent even more on Frattesi. We probably want to have a more direct midfield set up. Broz was the only one that had an offer (other than Barella) too.

Then Chelsea don't want to loan Lukaku anymore. I don't think he will be more expensive in term of annual cost than last season even on a permanent deal, but we will probably need some more cash outlay. We lost Skriniar for free, Darmian is adequate but he's getting old, same as Acerbi and all of the free options (Nacho, Azpilicuata) just slipped away. So the defense is due for a make over and it costs some money.

Then we have Onana whose stock is at all time high, lets be honest here, we're extremely unlikely to reach CL final again next year to showcase his skills. So it's better that we sell him now when there are GK talents available for cheap. He will also net some nice plusvalenza due to his 0 cost base. Selling Onana is extremely painful because it shows the limits of our ambition, but since our ambition is limited we don't take the best out of Onana most of the times. I'm talking about his build up and distribution, which were extremely useful against the very top teams out there like Man City but less against the likes of Porto, Benfica and Milan i.e. the teams who don't have a relentless elaborated high press. Onana's shot stopping is elite but won't be too hard to replace.

It hurts to see our ambition gets brutally chopped down before our eyes, but it is what it is, another reminder of the shitty situation we're in I guess.

I'm thinking the same. Obviously as fans we'd always want the maximum, but I feel this forum sometimes overly 'underrates' some of our selling. I remember when there were talks in selling Skriniar for 50-60 million, a number of fans were saying we should not sell him for less than 80. Like you said, Onana would still be one of the more expensive goalkeepers in the game.

In addition, I do believe Manchester United are under some 'restrictions' in terms of how much they can spend. People look at the fact that they paid almost 100 million for Antony but forget that attackers cost way more and Ajax had already sold a number of players that summer, hence asked for a much higher price. If someone comes to us near the end of the window for Lautaro, you can bet we'll set a huge price (maybe not the best example but the point stands). Even in our first big 'selling season', we sold Lukaku for one of the highest transfers for a player ever.

In other forums I go to, people wonder how we managed to get so much money for someone like Pinamonti (20 million for a fairly limited attacker) and 20 million for Casadei (obviously talented, but 0 senior performances at the time we sold him).

We have undersold some of our players, but we also got good money for Lukaku, Pinamonti, Casadei (given his inexperience - whether it was the right move is a different story).

The Brozovic and Skriniar situations were the obvious mess-ups, but it's not the easiest situation either when everyone knows our financial situation. I'm just glad we're at least somewhat holding on to our valuation for Onana. Originally I worried we'd sell him for 40 million, but it looks like we rejected 50 million, and want more.

55mil is very good for one season after a free transfer.

I'm just sure that we would get 80mil for him if we could wait one more year.

But what I am most afraid of is that the next GK won't be nowhere close to Onana in distribution and shot stopping.

Trubin is very good at shot stopping and reflex, as you can see when he played against us, recently in u21 Euro despite hish height.


His ball playing is questionable anyway.

Well he is my favourite to come to Inter and to hopefully start.

in video he looks like young Handa

If his ball playing is questionable then he is a hard pass.
