RuffRob Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 https://www.claretandhugh.info/hammers-dead-right-to-call-the-bluff/ I find these sorts of wages hard to believe - we are not going to be paying that. Inventive journalism to made hammers feel better about missing out. I would think this sort of player is looking for game time a stepping stone to get to the top of football if he can, as opposed to instant massive wages. I think it because we may have said he will get more playing time this season as opposed to obscene wages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a West Ham account on Twitter saying he wanted 30K a week and that's what they wouldn't pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got egg on his face cos he was stating on the YouTube channel that Everton couldn’t get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit where it’s due, the cheaper signings and commercial deals have helped putting in a legitimate bid on someone. Also, Frank. This one is all about wanting to work with Frank London Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newty82 Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Being a bit out of touch with footy in recent years, I've no idea about him. But you tend to get a bit of an idea by the reaction out in the circles. Sounds like a good signing for us. Another area we needed to be more solid and consistent last season. Spot on.

Formby Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 I haven't a clue who this guy is but I'm excited that everyone else is excited! I'm equally excited that Gana is going to play alongside him. If nothing else, we should be difficult to play through. Now, if we can get a bona fide striker in and another attacking mid, then the season could end up being a pleasant surprise!

RuffRob Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Hopefully getting the master and the apprentice. Gana a seasoned pro and great role model for Obana to learn from. A nice 18months crossover will help Obana settle in to the role longer term. Wouldn't be sensible to put a raw 21 year old in at the deep end for a key position.

Goodison Glory Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Don't get me wrong I hyped about this signing (particularly as it came out of nowhere)....but he seems to have a trait of sliding and extending his (long) legs...hopefully the quicker prem league won't see him rack up the yellow cards (or worse) StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get it wrong, and it takes you out of the game. There will be plenty of moments over the course of the season where we'll have to remind ourselves of his age. He's fouled at too high a clip thus far in his career and I imagine it'll take some time for him to polish that area of his game. Nonetheless he looks like a hell of a player and you'll take the fouls at a young age given everything else he has to offer.

Billwelshblue Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Looks raw but has frightening potential the fact we are bringing in Gana to bridge the gap while he beds into the league is very clever.

RuffRob Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Just watched a you tube video 'Amadou Onana - the game changer' not your usual you tube highlights real. A very mature young fella, full of self confidence, hunger and humility. He even sings! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
