I was about to type out one of my typically long winded, verbose dissertations on this subject; but you just put this brilliantly succinctly.
I think it was the great modern ***********, Mike from RedLetterMedia, who quoted Shakespeare, saying, "Brevity is the soul of wit".
Still, that doesn't mean that your long winded, verbose dissertation isn't needed. If you've got bars.....spit it!
I hear now we've moved from very, very close to very, very, very, extremely, almost unbelievably close. Microscopic levels of closeness.
My insider source at United says Ugarte is pushing harder than Sisyphus on this "rock". Apparently the last few nights he's had dreams of making clean tackles at Old Trafford, glancing over at Casemiro on the bench, and giving him a smile and a wink. Says often in the dreams Rashford follows up the wink by drilling an outside the box shot in the top corner of the net, which Ugarte has a strong feeling will happen with great frequency once he joins the team.
I'll give you a bold prediction on when this saga will be resolved: sometime in the next 1-4 days. You have my word on that. Will give you all an exclusive story when it does.

Better see some movement on this tomorrow..Friday is fast approaching, knowing us it will be a Fellini like last min deal or we break the De Gea fax machine and he doesn’t come.
U-G-A
R-T-E
He will add some midfield speed
With a kick, hack, cheeky smack
Break yer fecking bones
Ugarte sends you crying home
Or they’re just listening to the people who have actually watched him regularly (i.e PSG fans) who have said he’s a very limited player and wasn’t very good for them.
Or they're not listening to the other PSG fans on the PSG sub-reddit, the PSG equivalent of the Redcafe (Forum de Culture PSG), and ForumSCP, a a popular Portuguese Sporting forum who have also said that he's not a limited player and has been good for them.
Would you trust every United fan on their opinion of our players? You don’t think some fans underrate and other fans overrate the same players?
I trust this transfer a bit more than I would have a year ago, considering the heads in place at the club we have now. I’m hopeful the likes of Ashworth and Wilcox like this guy and think he’d fit well in our system, as well as ETH liking him.
It doesn’t feel like ETH and Murtough going after what ETH knows and it’s not Woodward collecting yet another peaked marquee name.

Is he here yet?
This transfer is beginning to remind me of constipation, pushing & pushing for days and everyone wants it to happen, but ultimately no movement.
Whose place is he going to take when he comes? Casemiro then bring
Cas on after 60mins to rest Mainoo?

Dalot? That is what he did with Amrabat.
Agreed. Either shit or getnoff the pot
He is in the loo pushing as hard as he can
Ugarte, whoa, he's comes from Uruguay, and uh, he's a nice friendly guy?
To be fair Amrabat was pretty poor were ever he played him. And it was LB when everyone was injured as usual.
He might be on his way, there is a private flight from Paris due to land in Manchester at 20:54
Fingers crossed. Where are the flight trackers - we'll need updates...
Not enough pushing, 2/10Ugarte, current mood waiting for this transfer...
Because we need 2 different types of midfielders and neither are wrong but we can't get both so people disagree on the priority of who we need now.
Apart from the people who want "someone like rodri" and think that those players exist or are attainable
What type of midfielder would we need next to the ‘destroyer’ in that case? A creative Alonso/Carrick type?
And if that’s the case where does that leave Mainoo?
These aren’t argumentative questions to be clear, I genuinely don’t know what people think we need
I'd say I definitely read some CulPSG posters think he's a little limited.
I heard he's putting a tag with his name, address and phone number on the suitcase as we speak.
Players of Rodri's "profile" do exist, but they are not his level, maybe 2 levels below. The likes of Zubimendi, Calhanoglu, Douglas Luiz etc.
Now in Ten Hag's current system they wont work. But under another manager, I see one of them pairing up with Mainoo and creating a formidable pair.
The thinking doesn’t make from some posters. It’s like you have two different issues we need to fix but they refuse to accept solution for one unless the solution for the 2nd problem is also found at the same time.
Hope he's not flying with British Airways, it's going to end up elsewhere
See? He's giving up!
Do we need a signature on the McTominay outbound deal before this gets done?
Said it before but IMO we can look at a long term midfield 3 of Wharton at the base, Ugarte being box to box, Mainoo advanced. Wharton and Mainoo are both young so it's not the end of the world rotating them a bit as they develop along with Bruno as he ages, but long term Bruno is obviously not going to stay a key player given his age. Bruno is like a current bandaid to solve other issues but also unbalances us in other ways, but given where we are with our rebuild it's not an issue.
We can't get both Ugarte and Wharton now, so we get Ugarte first to rotate with Casemiro and Mainoo, and next summer replace Casemiro with Wharton. But profile wise it does take care of positioning, ball winning/work rate, press resistance, deep passing and players who can dictate the tempo, dribbling with the ball.. lots of developing to do for Mainoo and Wharton but they absolutely have the potential.
Are we even sure Wilcox is going to Paris on transfer business? Weren't Mendes and Ugarte's agents in London for the Felix deal? Why would he go to Paris? And even if it's for transfer business why would Wilcox go and not Ashworth or our negotiations guy? So many questions....
That's been my logic throughout.
Then you see us lose all the momentum due to some ludicrous subs that nail a loss and you wonder what's the point of constructing too much in your mind
This is where I'm at =>
I just sang those words to the tune of U-N-I-T-E-D chant, the one where we ask city politely to feck off home. Just try it.
When you think of Prince Jassim being a big wheel at PSG it is not too much to believe that he could be throwing a spanner in the works to prevent Ugarte going to Utd. Still a lot of angst in this guy over being out manoeuvred by INEOS and Ratcliffe in particular. I can’t see another viable reason why this saga has dragged on for so long and we could get stung here.
