Onana would be perfect for our midfield in that defensive role, but I haven't seen any rumours of our interest in him. Chelsea will probably spunk another 100m on him and stick him on the bench. TBH I should imagine any player who hasn't got the discipline to show up for training will feature extremely low on any shortlist the likes of Howe & Ashworth are drawing up. Irrespective of how good they are. Edited January 24, 2023 by Craig 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I don't know if he didn't show up because he's about to be sold and the club have allowed him the time off, or whether he's huffing with the club in order to get a move. There's also the third option that the information that he didn't show up isn't entirely accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 53992 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 He's only been at the club since the summer. It took all of 5 months to realise signing for Everton was a fucking huge mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 https://www.nufcblog.co.uk/2023/01/24/sky-sports-two-newcastle-targets-absent-from-training-on-tuesday-as-transfer-talks-intensify/ Apparently there are rumours that we're after Onana as well as Gordon. A Belgian journalist, Onana is Beligian himself, has reported that we've registered an interest, as has Bailey over at 90mins. Two 21 year olds with immense amounts of potential under Howe's coaching could be top class additions. I have to admit that I haven't watched much of Everton this season for obvious reasons, but this Onana lad is an absolute unit at 6'4 and Everton paid an initial 30 odd million for him so he's obviously highly rated.

Chaser 1512 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Onana seems to fit the mould. Aggressive and full of energy, yet seems really mild mannered and polite when I've seen him interviewed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 3805 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If we can get Gordan for 40mill in the current market then that's good business in my opinion. I wouldn't judge him too harshly given he's been playing under Lampard. It could turn out in 12 months time that we've picked Everton's pocket. I do hope it doesn't mean the end of ASM at the club. I feel he still offers something to the squad which we'd struggle to replace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 35105 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 For sale: One Premier League football club* *until May (also, sale does not include a manager or any FFP wiggle room to buy new players. Sale does however include a commitment to build a new £500m stadium that will never be filled). I’m sure they’ll be queuing up to take it off his hands.

acrossthepond 1041 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Really hope this isn't true. I trust in Howe and co of course but I fail to see how a wide player is the solution to our shortage up front, especially as Willock's been doing well there, Joelinton can play there, ASM is still available off the bench, Isak is even supposed to be able to play wide left. How does this player plug any sort of hole in our system? I saw a comment earlier about buying for potential - I don't think we're at the point where we can spend 40m on "potential." Now, if we sold ASM, I could see it maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if we sold ASM, I could see it maybe. I largely agree. It all comes down to what the price is. For a wide player he really does play a lot through the middle (right footed playing on the left) so perhaps Howe is envisioning him being similar to Maddison in an attacking midfield role if we are indeed interested.

Howay 12496 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 12 hours ago, AgentAxeman said: Wasn't Gordon clocked as the quickest player in the league last year? Personally think he'd fit into our system perfectly given his pressing out of possession. Agree with this, I don’t rate him based off what I’ve seen but fully trust Ashworth, Howe etc so if they see a player I’m in full support. Some of his stats this season compared to other attacking mids/wingers and that aligns with what AgentAxeman says, clearly hard working and a good presser. I think while his offensive stats are weak he’s scored 3 of Evertons 15 goals and I don’t imagine they have a ton of opportunities for him to show that side of his game. We will see I guess, but they’ve not really missed so far with their first choice players (Wood I saw more as a bit of a panic buy/quick fix). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
