Onana: Unai's gonna love him - some bits from a piece on him in The Athletic

Onana watches footage back as soon as he gets home from a match, then does it again the next day, “just to see what I can do better”. He is a keen student of the game and is constantly looking at where he can improve.

“There are more experienced players than me and players across the league I can learn a lot from. You can never learn enough. There’s always room for improvement.”

Amazing to hear.

What a signing this is - equivalent of Arsenal getting Rice last year. He’s got the potential to be on that level.

Romano just tweeted deal done.

The classic Romano goal poach after Ornstein broke the news that this was happening.

He's inconsistent and I don't think he's as good a passer as Dougie is yet. At 22, he's nowhere near the finished article and I wouldn't expect him to be. I think his potential is much greater than Dougie mind, because he's so much bigger, stronger and quicker.

Good stats, but he spends less time between passes than any other Everton player. The antithesis of a Dyche player.

He's going to be better than Luiz. No sour grapes there, he just is. When we needed Doug to step up after Kamara was injured, he pretty well went missing for the rest of the season. I don't think a player whose own form is so dependent on another player can be considered world class. I am very excited to see this lad in action, with a hugely better squad and manager than he's used to.

He’s got a great song. They were singing it at the LC game last year. We need to be stealing that.

He’s a destroyer, a creator, he’s tall, he’s mean, he’s exactly what we need.
That's his song sorted.

I remember when he came on against us for his debut and was superb. We won but were hanging on desperately.

That said, the fee surprised me a bit. Seems a bit steep.

If Ornstein reports it then it's a good 'un - bit like Percy (at a more local level) of a few years back.

Romano is a copy and paste machine.

What’s My Name by Rihanna seems fitting

Seems the obvious choice and quite frankly with two players in the league with the name, I'm surprised it hasn't been used. (Unless of course it has and I just haven't been paying attention)

Dodged McKennie and Manbun, ended up with Onana. Thank you football gods.
