Casemiro is going to have a great season, mark my words.
He has a fantastic passing range, winning mentality, the youngsters can learn a lot from him in training too.
Don't sell him. The problem was last year was with the defense. They dropped too deep but they were instructed not to.
I agree on Lindelof, Sancho, Hannibal, Eriksen, Pellistri and McT though.
If one pregnant woman can make a baby in 9 months, how many months does it take 5 pregnant women to make a baby?
Seems to be just about a formality then with Mendes working on this this week...
Casemiro wasn't leaving when Saudi didn't come in
PSG’s PSR situation truly baffles me. In the last two years they’ve gotten Neymar, Mbappe and Messi off the books. In terms of wages that’s a preposterous amount. They’ve had incomings certainly but you’d think with those three moves alone, if they could afford to carry them all at the same time, they’d have plenty of wiggle room now.
I feel confident of this one, like many others here.
Our C-suite is arguably the best the world.

Without a guy there to help out, forever.
Jorge Mendes is one of the best agent in football and he will get this done. The player already being left out of training. The only thing missing now is throwing chairs at PSG board to speed up the process and lower the asking price 
For the purposes of muppetry im going to say YES!

Getting him onside would be very beneficial for club with any future transfer negotiations
Another player pushing for a move to United, good to see.
Yeah positive signs, now we need a good season to attract more players to project for next summer
Can someone explain Mendes's involvement here? Are we using him as a 'broker'?
I thought Mendes was his agent?
Not really, but they aren't as bad as the Chilean, Colombian, and Ecuadorian news outlets.
Not according to that Sport Witness tweet
You realise my opinion isn't "Every defensive midfielder apart from Rodri needs someone behind him" ? My point is that we are looking for a #6 to play behind Mainoo in a two man midfield, but it feels like everyone we are linked with, people on the forum say that they "need someone to play behind them" i.e. they can't play as the deepest lying midfielder, i.e. they can't play with Mainoo. People are saying it about Ugarte, Berge, people said it about Neves. People are saying it about Casemiro, fans and pundits said it about Rice during the Euros. The only person I haven't heard it said about is Rodri. Based on the opinions I've read it's as if Rodri is the last player in world football, who can play as the deepest midfielder Again, this is not my opinion, it's the conclusion you would come to if you only read the forums.
I then went on to explain that I believe Ugarte can play as the deepest midfielder as he did it for Uruguay in the Copa America.
Obviously my original post wasn't clear enough, missing some context or wasn't obvious that I was being hyperbolic based off of the opinions on the forums.
We'll need to disagree on Rodri not being a #6. He may have the attributes to play as an #8, he may get help from other players around him, from fullbacks tucking in, centre backs pushing up, or midfielders tracking back, but everything he does for Spain screams #6 to me.
I think we will agree with something close to Sancho + 15mil. Win win for all parties
Jorge Chijane is his agent
Mendes must be helping out though, I guess because he has a long history of working with United
I’d be very surprised if Sancho is part of the deal personally.
Especially considering PSG just signed a winger.
Based on reports PSG is still interested in Sancho, finger crossed.
Is he any good though? Heard he's bad on the ball which is the last thing we need. Excuse my ignorance. Youtube scouting doesn't work as I've found out over many years.
Who do we need to look out for?
Kante good
I an getting the impression this gets exaggerated, yes he's not like a Martinez, De Ligt, Yoro or Kobbie on it but he is not terrible either
Chijane is his agent, but he also seems to be represented by Mendes' company Gestifute. When Liverpool were negotiating with Ugarte before both Chijane and Mendes were reportedly involved.
Chijane seems to be more based in Uruguay and Mendes is obviously connected to Portugal (where Ugarte moved to from Uruguay), so maybe they have some sort of business relationship.
For this, keep an eye out for either Sebas Giovanelli or César Luis Merlo to offer the Uruguayan and South American perspectives, respectively.
Would be the biggest signing of the summer and would make my transfer window go from 7/10 to 9/10. Please, get this done!
I agree we need 2 per position but Ugarte I wouldn't say is the backup type or profile. Though could have 2 of him, Mainoo or Casemiro always used which would be good. Just a lot of money being spent on the area with wages and all that.
Ugarte would start and Case is the backup. Unfortunately we couldn’t move Case on this summer. So hopefully next but until then he can be a mentor for Ugarte and that could be huge.
Ugarte and Case together is beastly. Dont rule that out.
He's a good player and a ball winner. He's not great on the ball, and can rush into challenges seemingly fouling players too often, but he will add a bite to out midfield.
He's certainly not like Kante, who had a lot more to his game. But he compliments our existing players I feel.
---------------------- Bruno -----------
------Garnacho -------------------Amad------
--------Ugarte-----Casemiro-----Mainoo----
This could work in the bigger games
He doesn't stop running and does a lot of defensive work but can get overwhelmed by very physical players.
He's not bad at evading pressure with the ball but he's not exactly a great dribbler. His passing is safe and limited.
