Does Ugarte not have those same attributes?

Hey, we just shooed Madrid out the door for Yoro - we can handle a bit of Aston Villa too if needed.
Yeah I can't understand why United didn't go for him. £50m is not that much for a player who would have been very, very useful for United. A much better signing than Mount for the same fee.
Not really. Rabiot on the other hand…
I do like Ugarte though, but he’s not a huge physical presence I wouldn’t say, although he’s a great ball winner. Sort of like a Gattusso in that respect, who won the ball but lacked the athleticism of Onana or Vieira for example.
Villa getting stung in a few years aren't they 
Something tells me we are not Everton's good books right now, if we went in on parity with Villa, they might just ask for more
If he hasn't actually signed yet, I'm sure Villa will be very interested in the announcement Everton's latest take over bid has fallen through and they're back in the mire again.
Official now
Great signing for them. Villa will be a bitch to play against. Incredibly physical group they're building.
That's a good bit of business by Villa. They have got some great people working behind the scenes there. And they have assembled a decent squad. What surprises me is that Onana would have had the pick of some much bigger teams with a higher ceiling, but still went there.
Missed a trick here IMO.
Getting Onana now would've been worth it even if it meant we had to postpone the Branthwaite pursuit by a year.
Mainoo-Onana-Fernandes would've been one of the best midfields in the league.
Very frustrating to see all of Rice, Onana, Kamara, Lavia, Palhinha, Tchouaméni, Wieffer, etc. changing clubs and we're not even pursuing any of them whilst in huge need of a good #6. Instead we wasted a huge sum on Casemiro, and now we'll likely get Ugarte, who's nowhere near the guys I listed.

Strange we showed so little interest here considering he looks a very good blend of the two midfielders we have a supposed interest in, Ugarte and Zubimendi, and Everton being so ready to sell.
Done deal. Move to FF.
