Tomorrow. Judging by previous transfers.Guess they aren’t announcing this today.

Is he still in love with us?Heard he's been pushing for the announcement. Like hell.
It's very close now.
It’s really not relevant to my point that Casemiro, Mainoo and Urgate is not a midfield that a modern top side would use. What Bruno does or doesn’t do is not really the issue being discussed.But none of them do as little work to controlling the game as Bruno. Having an 8 who's very creative is normal, having one that is just creative doesn't happen because control is very important.
Bruno isn't part of a midfield that modern top sides would use.

More than you can imagine!Is he still in love with us?
Probably not, he needs to improve on the ball some more or he won’t be getting selected too much if Bruno and Mainoo are fit.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?
Can imagine they are waiting for McT’s medical tomorrow in Naples to be OK. Don’t imagine there will be a problem with it and the paperwork is almost certainly prepared ready to be signed when Napoli sign off at their end. I think if we register him by close of transfer window on Friday we can include him in the squad against Pool on Sunday - subject to International Clearance and Work Permit. Is that correct?
Disagree. Tactics make a big difference. Our team always looks infinitely worse without Bruno.Bruno isn't part of a midfield that modern top sides would use. The difference is that on one has suggested Casemiro, Mainoo, and Urgate as our midfield.
I think he'll impale himself on the pen he signs his contact with and be out for the season.Ugartes first injury will be a hernia
When do we play without him? When have we bought a player to compete with him?Disagree. Tactics make a big difference. Our team always looks infinitely worse without Bruno.
VDB was meant to allow us to rotate with him even though he’s nowhere near the same quality. There different types of AM. Once Hojlund is back it will be interesting to see if ETH partners Zirkzee upfront with him or plays him behind him which would allow us to rest Bruno in certain games.When do we play without him? When have we bought a player to compete with him?
Didn't intend that way. I was part of a group of ST holders had weekly debates about him to me was a class act. To others he wasn't. That is what I was trying to say.You are really selling Carrick short here .
Feck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.He will do for me. He can like Carrick was, an underated midfield who was bascially the water carrier of them but he allowed Scholes, Ronaldo, Rooney to flourish. Just my opinion
In a different universe if he was younger, I'm sure pep would want him.Feck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.
that made me chuckleI think he'll impale himself on the pen he signs his contact with and be out for the season.
World Class is a stretchFeck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.

I’m glad you askedLooks like a warrior. How are his stats?
Calm down, he was a really good player, but not world class and not at the level of RodriFeck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.

99th percentile in pushing.
99th percentile in love.
Romano sadly didn't find the time to relay to us what Ugarte's opinion about the Black Dragon is.Does he main Jax?
I'm hoping Bruno will be able to control games better if he has two of Mainoo, Ugarte and Mount helping him out. If he still can't then we really will need that de Jong type player.Hopefully Ugarte improves our midfield massively. Think we'll still struggle to control games (as he's not type of player to help in that regard), but at least we should be more solid now. Casemiro is on a decline and getting older but having him and Ugarte as options for DM, can't complain.
Is De Jong that kind of player? De Jong is similar to Mainoo isn't he? More of a Kroos sort of player might be a better fit for that.I'm hoping Bruno will be able to control games better if he has two of Mainoo, Ugarte and Mount helping him out. If he still can't then we really will need that de Jong type player.
That's a slight exaggeration. Carrick was a top player but lacked the consistency, steel, and aggression of Rodri. He also wasn't as much of a goal threat. People forget there were years when Carrick got a lot of criticism for being too passive with his passing as well. His form drfiniteoy went through slumps as well. I'd kill to have him available now, but let's not get carried away.Feck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.
He was excellent but there wasn't universal approval was there? Quite a few doubters on here if I recall and he did have lulls - slow starts to seasons especially.Feck me are you serious? Carrick was world class, if he were playing today he'd be held in the same esteem as Rodri.
Slow starts was a common thing for him yep.He was excellent but there wasn't universal approval was there? Quite a few doubters on here if I recall and he did have lulls - slow starts to seasons especially.
