So freaking hype for this guy to play. This was the one signing we needed above all. Hope he proves to be the missing link. Ugarte, Mainoo and Bruno. If that midfield works we are set for a good time.

Do feel he can improve the progressive passing too
Is not just a standard midfield, but the range of options we now got. We can go case, ugarte, mount when high energy and block out kinda approach is needed.
Even ugarte, mount and bruno will be much better than last season if we are looking to go all out and these don't even include our best prospect in mainoo
Big day today!
We need to put him in bubble wraps until it's time to play. Otherwise he might trip and hurt himself. Oh...do remember to put a Fragile, handle with care sticker too.
Yeah sure. The more the time passes on the more he becomes better.
Or in your case, just because tactics and football have evolved with sports technology, the more the time passes on, he becomes less important to the team.
Water carrier. Might as well call him steady eddy
I don't have faith in ETH being flexible. He's generally risk averse and doesn't change his starting 11 often. But you are right in that our midfield options are better and more flexible currently.
Ugarte Mount Bruno
Ugarte Mainoo Mount
Casemiro Ugarte Bruno

All could be interesting
Carrick was magnificent. An English Xavi Alonso.Or in your case, just because tactics and football have evolved with sports technology, the more the time passes on, he becomes less important to the team.

Prime Carrick compares well to prime Rodri, but there’s no doubt Carrick had to overcome doubters on his first few months at OT.
As for Ugarte, the man even looks like an animal. I hope Casemiro gives him a full briefing on the vendetta English referees have with foreign players who have a hard edge to their game.

I never liked him much under SAF. He was good but something was missing. But under LVG and Jose, in deep dmc role, he was amazing. He was exactly what we need now; player who set the tempo of play.
What number will he wear? 13, 19, 22 available. Or go for some random high number
When are they going to announce it? Deadline is sort of approaching…
Possibilities around him being in the squad on Sunday?
They'll wait for the McT deal to finalise first. I genuinely don't think that transfer matters though, in terms of PSR. But it's a nice bluff to have during the final days of the window.
0% I’d say
You're aware the announcement is not a prerequisite for it to be signed, right?
De Ligt and Mazraoui were training with their teammates before they got announced

Every signing should get an emoji stat breakdown.
This is really going off topic. You’re arguing about hypotheticals. Bruno has missed the odd game and we looked terrible. We signed Mount and Ten Hag has shown no sign of taking Bruno out the team and in fact wanted him to sign a new contract. I’d suggest he knows more about who is good at football than you.
It’s possible
Sure, but Ugarte doesn’t train with the team, sadly - hence the question
Could today
Big one this today boys. Strap in and strap on.
I'd say that's a lock.
But he will be a late sub.
That nearly made me choke on my Weetabix
Carrick was world class? Calm dahn...calm dahn. He was good, but he was nowhere near being world class. I know time distorts people minds, but Carrick was somewhere between absolute bang average and very good. He's always been overrated and nowhere near Rodri's level of play, not even close.
Go and enjoy the transfers and warn us before you come out with nonsense like that you cheeky scallywag, I nearly choked to death!..grrrrr

This is a very good summary - well done!
Does anyone else feel like we always stretch out the last transfer of the window to make the fans feel like we're involved in deadline day?
Nah, I just think the previous regime were inept, and this last transfer has dragged on a lot longer than we'd have liked.
How long until he picks up a nothing red card and has his confidence shot a la Casemiro?
Maybe pre Ineos but this went this long because Qatar were salty about Ineos beating them to getting control of the club. Dealing with any other club and it would have been done weeks ago.
For Bruno.
Really really think that was a load of shit to be fair.
At the end of the day INEOS and Qatar are businessmen and they will have just been spending the time haggling and thrashing out what they felt was the best deal for them.
As they should
I can picture it now, being brought on in the 83 minute when we're 2-0 down
and scores 2 headed goals from corners assisted by Bruno, shocking the fans who always look away during corners, and then sets up a goal for Bruno at 90+5' for the crowd to go wild and helping my FPL team with Bruno captain.
