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....
Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement
- Thread starter WeePat
- Start date

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.
We still don't know if that fella even existed.
Are we any closer?
Nah
We're one step closer to the edge and I'm about to break
He's really pushing guys
You do feel like we’re just waiting on Scott fecking McTominay making a decision at this point. He’ll be reluctant. I know some reports said he’s accepted but I’m not so sure.
Hi everyone newbie here, so please go easy on me in case you don't agree with my views on this guy.
I have a friend who supports Sporting, and he always tells me that Ugarte was the main reason, Palhinha lost the spot in the starting 11. He was a monster in their midfield and was quite unlucky, that his best season with Sporting coincided with their worst under Amorim.
We often see gaping holes in our midfield during games. Those cease to exist with him. Fans and pundits alike have become obsessed with Busquets and Rodri clones these days. Not every DM is going to dictate or control the tempo from deep. Those guys are specialists. This guy is a pure dm. A defensive midfielder in the truest sense of the word. Perhaps a ball winning midfielder because he's aggressive and won't just passively sit. The guy is a machine. A a player to let Mainoo do his thing while Ugarte is shepherding the midfield. We could do with an aggressive, fit, reliable ball winner with legs, who can plug gaps so that Mainoo and others dont have have to. Ugarte is elite at that. One of the best around right now at what he does. No, he's not going to dictate the tempo from midfield like Rodri, but who else can? Those are generational players, suitable to play a very specific setup. In Ugarte, we can have a dm who will protect the backline, and solidify the midfield like no other.
I can see him easily having the same impact Palhinha had, when he came to the PL, smashing all the tackles records. Plus, he is somewhat better on the ball than Palhinha and overall a better player. However he is much more a destroyer than a playmaker, but with Bruno and Mainoo, I think that has potential to be a very effective midfield three.
I am optimistic about this signing.

He's pretty dilated by now
If he keeps pushing he will need a medical regardless....
Unzip time?
Don't know much about Ugarte but Casemiro is done and is not anything more than a backup. Hopefully this signing will elevate our team play.

I honestly believe we are going to see the Sporting version of him at Utd, doesn't feel like he ever got the love from PSG, however he will get it here and that will allow him to show his best
Ugarte, one more midfielder hopefully another DM and a left back. Help Sancho, Eriksen and Mejbri find new homes. Window closes.
We will maybe get one more if we're lucky but definitely not 3 that's an absolute guarantee
Does anyone know if Ugarte is any good? I’m seeing mixed reactions and responses to his supposed suitability in the team.
Depends if you talk to PSG or Sporting fan
Thanks for that. Now the song is stuck in my head.
I heard he was better on the left.
The only important question about this transfer is,
will we finally have the first 200 Page transfer thread of this Summer??
INEOS have really deprived us of any sagas...

Has he cancelled with his utility provider yet?
Won't believe the move until his wife/gf posting in IG in fancy toilet.
200 pages of stats and measuring distance & closeness in an unknown metric.
Girls don’t poop
Do they scratch n sniff?
Don’t know much about Ugarte
Don’t know much the point of Anthony
Don’t know much about the Dutch I took
And I don’t really get Ten Hag’s playbook
But I do know that I feel blue
And I know that if you feel blue too
We should probably go watch City
Choo choo
All aboard the cock out train!
Imagine.. a world without all those graphs and stats. We wont even have reached a 100 pages!
Data is our savior...
Now that’s a train you don’t want to be on.
Flight trackers go!
I’m sure in deadline week he just fancies visiting le Louvre.
I could very very easily make a video of KdB making shit pass after shit pass after shit hollywood pass. Just as I can make a video of Scott McTominay looking like a worldie.
These videos are nauseating.
