This isn’t a new thing with ETH either, Ajax fans told us all he was kept the hell away from transfers as he was shite at identifying players, that was Overmars’s responsibility. They struck up a pretty good partnership as well with Overmars bringing in the talent and ETH being left to coach the team. That was until Overmars exposed himself to be a Wrong’un.
Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement

Obvious bullshit
Ultimately it was just a one off game where PSG as a whole were terrible. There were many good players on that team who also performed poorly.
Just saw United staff purchasing white sheets at Primark. It's on!!!
He'll be an instant crowd favourite because of his playstyle. Not exactly the profile I would have went for but we don't seem to have any interest in controlling games so might as well go full Bielsa-ball.
PSG definitely 'won' by moving Ugarte and bringing in Neves for €10m on top, but I still think it's a decent enough signing.

He does seem to be pretty bad at those things. Absolute mystery we gave him a big say in transfers here. Leave the talent identification to the people who have it as their specialty and work with it full time.
Weird how people are dismissing the Muppetiers info. Sounds very believable to me.
Wow I can't believe such BS is posted here with all due respect to OP
The source is highly suspect but none of that sounds far fetched at all.
I think there's some dodgy goings on going on around the Neves deal. I don't see why, when the going rate for a Benfica starlet is Joao Felix/Enzo money, they'd suddenly settle for half that.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Benfica have a cushy little above market rate sponsorship deal with a Qatari company that doesn't currently exist by this time next year.
I think the PL will be a big step up for him, whatever way you look at it. Looking like a monster DM in France is different to looking one against Premier League sides.
No white text?
I remember he got a lot of stuff right recently too which is why I'm surprised so many are dismissing it as rubbish. I fully believe the McTominay part whether that's just a guess or actual info
Even if true, I don't think ETH will let that impact how he uses Ugarte. He wanted rid of Maguire and McT last season, yet ended up using them. I don't think we'll see a situation where Ugarte is struggling for minutes because ETH is pissed we have him instead of McT
That could literally be said for every player coming into the league.
If EtH doesn’t perform this season he won’t be here for the next one.
If the source is suspect then info is suspect, and I won't react to it.
I don't care about EtH, he could be fired today for all I care I simply don't believe anything from a known bs merchants like Muppeters or whatever they are called.
Nope.
People are so cynical.
That does sound believable. ETH wanted a box to box like Mount or Frenkie, he never targeted a player like Ugarte's profile. This looks like an INEOS club signing, with a view towards the next manager.
Yes, however remember Woodward? OK PSG how about €70,000,000?
People are forgetting to include Sanches in the price for Neves who went the other way back to Benfica.
I suspect he’s kept himself fit. Uruguay have a game Sept 2nd and I imagine he will want to be in the squad.
That might be the funniest video I’ve ever seen on the caf. Just shows how anything a new signing does can be painted as a positive.
It’s also doing a disservice to Ugarte because he has many better bits of play that could have been used.
2024 Renato Sanches isn't close to enough to fill the ~60m gap between what they sold Neves for, and the price you'd expect given the Enzo Fernandez deal, and the links to basically every big club in Europe.
If we get stuffed on Sunday (0 2 or worse) at home against Liverpool I have a feeling Sir Jim will snap and we could have Mr G Southgate in quicker than you can say, “careful what you fecking wish for”.
I’m praying Utd win and win comfortably but I have this horrible feeling.
What about it is believable?
Are you suggesting these 2 are similar types?
It’s hilarious that I’ve seen some of the posters falling for that nonsense are the same ones that are highly sceptical of actual journalists.
Muppetiers ffs.
Southgate has already got a new job.
If that's true it's gonna take Casemiro suspended or injured for Ugarte to get time. Shame.
Ten hag types
That ten Hag was reluctant to lose McTominay and needed to be persuaded that letting him go was a necessary evil. I can also believe that McTominay wasn't particularly interested in Everton or Fulham.
Not exactly far fetched.
The best lies usually sprinkle in an element of truth.
Sounds very plausible to me. Not sure why everyone is so dismissive.
good. I love a DM that not only tackles but can spray the passes out to our forwards.
Saying McTominay not being interested in Everton or Fulham after the fact isn't exactly offering any insight.
A month ago he said he club and Ten Hag were happy to sell at right price - now all of a sudden there is a disagreement?
Ugarte has been a target for the whole window and now we're about to sign him, he reports Ten Hag didn't want him?
"Pray for Rodri" is trending on Twitter because of Ugarte 
I love the shamelessness of some fans, unironically
