Popular Post wsag Posted July 13 Visiting Supporter Popular Post Share Posted July 13 Dear dear villa. We've had some tough times in the PL this last few years. And I mean this, I really don't think we'd be here now if it wasnt' for Aston Villa. sometimes you don't realise the friends you've got, who've been right in front of you the whole time. I knew this was a good club when you took Lucas Digne that time, but we're not out the woods yet, and to know villa are sending us sixty million this summer, it's just not what I expected, and I'd like to speak for all Evertonians just to say thanks. And he's not a bad player, at all, difficult to get around, calm passer, nothing wrong with him at all. Best of luck for the new season. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted July 13 Visiting Supporter Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, JAMAICAN-VILLAN said: Has @striker been on to tell us he's shite and will take us backwards yet? No mate not at all. Good player who will add loads of physicality and can pass too. Villa won't be out muscled anymore with their signings so far. Emery will also make him better. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted July 13 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13 OK, if you don't want Agadoo or Baby Shark, how about 'Mañana'? Onana Onana Onana is good enough for me Onana Onana He's good enough for Unai Emery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
479Villan Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Is this the first signing where “lure of champions league football” was bandied about? after YEARS of being on the other end of that deal, it is a damned fine feeling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. But we need to make sure we stay at that level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 1 hour ago, allani said: One of the problems with that analysis (I don't disagree with your general idea at all by the way) is that it doesn't necessarily take into consideration the assist for the assist. From what I have been reading / hearing, Enzo did a fair amount of that at Frosinone - even if it doesn't reflect on his official stats. I can see their role being more about getting the ball to Tielemans, McGinn or the wide players who then claim the glory of the assist for Ollie. It might not show as a goal creation threat but it's about doing the thing that creates the goal creation threat - like how strikers don't get an assist when they make the run that distracts the CB and opens up the space for the attacking midfielder to run into and put away a simple chance. PS - I think his stats for Belgium are likely to be far more relevant to the way that we will be wanting him to play than his stats for Dyche. It's kind of the reverse of using the Euros to assess the ability of England players... Well for the assist of the assist that's often much more reflective in the ball progression stats which onana isn't very good at (Enzo is pretty good there) so he definitely needs to improve it. And even with that idea you still need the midfield to be able to create stuff because otherwise the opposing team can load up on the creative players and you are just stuck passing sideways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarryOnVilla Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Tielemans is the Luiz replacement, Barkley is the Tielemans replacement, Barrenechea is the Tim replacement and Onana is the Chambers replacement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re in a big mess. I think some clubs are good when they don’t spend, but once they get the budget they go into some trouble. If we’ve continued with Gerrard I guess we’d have had some issues but gladly our owners are much better than that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mallett Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Dougie was a quality player for us but on paper Onana is going to improve the team because he has attributes which make up for weaknesses elsewhere in the team, i.e. in the air, tackling and general physicality. That's not to say that Onana is a better player than Dougie (although he might be under Unai) but he brings a better balance to the team especially with Kamara out at the start of the season. I thought that when he first arrived at Everton that he looked like he could be a real box to box player. That hasn't panned out at Everton but he could develop into that player once Kamara comes back into the team to take up the 6 role. Suddenly we have improved the first team: Maatsen is an upgrade on Moreno / Digne Onana improves us compared to Luiz And improved the options / bench: Barkley is better than Iroegbunam Illing Jr replaces Zaniolo (which is probably an upgrade) Philogene? upgrade on Kellyman Then we still have Ramsey and Buendia to come back and at some point Mings. I'm guessing that Archer, Dobbin and Barrenechea are not going to be troubling the first team once preseason is over so in that sense perhaps they are replacing Sanson, Chambers & Coutinho? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPAngel Posted July 13 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13 (edited) Aside from just being a great transfer for a starting eleven player, this deal also has that air of "Top 4/6" about it. How many times over the years have one of the traditional big clubs snatched a rising star from a team in the middle of the pack to, not only strengthen them, but also to push that team back down? The same thing used to happen all the time with Bayern in the Bundesliga. All those years of losing the likes of Yorke, Barry, Milner, Young, Benteke, Downing, Delph, and Grealish... it's nice to be on the other end of it for a change.
