Can any of the Ed's tell me what onana is like? Sounds very similar to doucoure but with very limited first team experience feels like an awful lot of money tconsidering our financial position.
He couldn't have anyone better than Gana and frank to learn off but the deal sounds like far too much for me.
Hoping for once we have a gem and are not being fleeced like normal!
{Ed077's Note - sorry can't help much mate. But him "choosing" Everton over WHU is a good start for you guys.

I've never seen the lad play in all honesty but he seems to have a lot of people within the game bigging him up. One report says that he had some big European teams after him but he wants to play under Lampard and form a partnership with IGG. Whether we can believe that is another thing! As ed077 days, the lad has chosen to sign for us, that's a good start.

Heard he wants to play alongside Tom Davies! Was a story from the Daily Sport mind.

You would think a Doucoure/ Davies partnership would take but no luck.

RIchris - I wouldn't say he is like Doucoure mate. He is a bit of a throwback midfielder for me. Comfortable sitting as a 6 but i think with Gana brought in and a little bit older, i think he should play the 8.
It seems a bit of a waste of his physical and athletic capabilities to just have him sat. We should utilise him as a box to box. He is a great tackler. He is strong, shields the ball well. For a big fella he is quite fast too.
Technique in terms of striking the ball is clean and precise and has good feet.
Considering some of the deals that go on in todays market, 33 million is a great price for him. He turns 21 in a few days so has great scope to get better and who better than Frank to guide him.
I don't envisage us keeping hold of him for more than a season or 2 as he is that good and will get snapped up by the big teams.
