Ederson - Atalanta Midfielder

Not sure he's the right player with us having just signed Ugarte - don't think you would want to play them together.

I would have preferred him to Ugarte in the Summer, but we have the latter now.

I could see them playing together. Ederson is more of an #8 than Ugarte and plays in a midfield at Atalanta that is not too disimilar from Amorim's at Sporting. Has more about him on the ball than Ugarte does. I think the lack of passing range and creativity could be an issue with that midfield though, we would need a lot of progression from the wingbacks. But if Casemiro goes in the summer, Ederson could be an astute buy.
 
He would certainly add some missing physicality in the CM position for us. My preference is still Baleba as I think he has a higher ceiling (for lack of a less cringey term) but if Brighton demand stupid money Ederson would not be a bad option.
 
Would be an excellent signing for us. Ugarte, Mainoo, Ederson, and Casemiro for the two midfielder spots would be excellent coverage and competition for places. A nice balance of technique and energy. Ederson is a powerful runner with and without the ball.

Hope Case and Eriksen are moved on this summer.

Probably not 120 mil stupid which I imagine being what they would be aiming for since they got 115 for Caicedo , and Baleba is regarded as more promising.

Ideally something in the range of 50 surely would be Edersons value which is probably still more than we can afford right now but yeah he’d be the one I’d be aiming for. Looks fantastic from what I’ve seen. Has a bit of everything.
