So does he start with Mainoo or Casemiro? Or both?
Hope he turns out good, we are due a break with transfers
Interested to hear how so. From what I've seen they're both fairly unreliable with their passing and are good at tackling and interceptions. Maybe it would work with Bruno being the turnover machine that he is, but then we'd really lack any technical guile in the middle.

They'll send the double pivot police to your house if you're not careful.
How do you know who is clueless about real football, and what makes them have less of a clue than you, another d***head on the internet?
Most top level clubs recruitment teams use statistics as part of the basis of judging which players to sign, along with watching them actually play, the two are not mutually exclusive.
There is no way for you to know how old a Youtube creator is, and some of them put a lot of time and effort into their videos.
It is nice to see you are unable to accept changes, condescend people that you have no idea about, while expressing yourself with baseless assumptions because you are out of touch with modern times.
These people have just as much or just as little football expertise as you, and there is no way to really prove otherwise except your opinion on who you believe is more knowledgeable.
Let's go back to basics, what was the point of your original reply to me?
I wanted to know how much his wage is.
You wanted to tell me I don't understand contracts.
Seems a stupid thing to reply with at face value, was there a more exact point you wanted to get across?
Can they hurry up and get this done please? Thanks
Tous les achats sont définitifs, ni repris ni échangés.
All our problems in the middle would be solved if all 3 play BUT Bruno has to play so thats the thing. A three of Ugarte sitting and Mainoo and Case infront would give us so much solidity in the middle, we can then play the wingers higher up and wider and get the full backs further forward too as we would have enough cover behind. But when Bruno is already high up, if one midfielder runs forward it leaves just 1 behind and we become prone to counters. Solution is easy but the man to implement that solution won't.
I suspect we’ll see a fair amount of rotation between Mainoo, Casemiro and Ugarte.
The more interesting question is once we’re done with this false 9 experiment where Mount fits in. He’s been praised for his pressing…does he steal a wide role off of either Rashford, who’s been horrific, or Amad?
Let Mount and Bruno rotate between LW/AM
Found one.
He looks like Hojlund.
I think that's exactly what happens, Mount replaces Rashford and then everyone is pressing, admittedly Rashford's looked better at it so far this season but I can't see it lasting
Grow up
Casemiro is a good progressive passer, he's also a goal threat from deep. His issues are his legs are going so can't cover a great amount of ground, he's also not a ball retention merchant for rotating the ball during build up.
Ugarte covers a ridiculous amount of ground, so covers Casemiros weaknesses in that area. He also has a great passing percentage due to playing safe most of the time.
I'm not saying Ugarte, Mainoo and Bruno can't work, but I don't think it's as balanced as Casemiro, Ugarte and Bruno.
I don't think Mainoo will drop out as he's probably our best midfielder, but balance wise it's going to be off a bit.
Announce Ugarte
Every time I watch highlights of him, be it with Uruguay or PSG, he does a feck ton of sliding challenges. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing in relation to coming to English football.
Hardly any top teams are playing with three out and out central midfielders nowadays. There’s almost no creativity in that team. You’re relying on Garnacho to beat a man.
They better get this done soon if he is to play against Liverpool.
Does he need a work permit?
Eth almost never throws in a new transfer without preseason or a few weeks to settle in. And especially not again a high pressure game.
He will be lucky to get 15 mins unless we have sone injury
That would be the icing on the cake. Get the transfer done but take a week to get a work permit and he dosent play til after the International break.
ETH won't play him until after the break anyway. He's notoriously slow integrating new players into the starting XI. Mazaoui only starting because of injuries.
What I like about this and all our other signings is that they only wanted to join us. Wasn’t interested in money or talking to other clubs. We was priority.
That's because of how Mainoo and Case have been told to play, if they are giving freedom as 8s it would be different, especially Mainoo who is very good in the final third. Bruno's creativity while important is often overstated because he's the only one giving the role to do so. We depend on him, it should be a system that aids creativity, not just an individual. What if Bruno gets injured? We need a system that is consistent, otherwise another few injuries and the season is going to be dead and filled with excuses.
He'd be on the bench.
This guy will start against Liverpool and get himself sent off.
And then we'll love him forever.
And then we'll love him forever.
I need this announced this afternoon. Please
Not so sure.
Let's hope gets done before the weekend, comes on, scores the winner and we can bring back the Forlan chant for Ugarte!!
He came from Uruguay,
He made the Scousers cry...

I also think we can improve our organisation, but in the end I think we will suffer from being so weak in the air.
Does the U in his name sound like a "you"-garte or an "oo"-garte?
Give it 24 hours. Ugarte himself will an announce how to pronounce his name.
