What are you banging on about? What's been disappointing other than him not playing Sunday which he was never going to have much of a role?
Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement

The hype train is in overdrive FFS, Ugarte is nowhere near the world class player some of you want to believe he is. He will give us some energy/ mobility in midfield.
Ander Herrera 2.0?
Don't Uruguay play right at the end of the international break, so it'll be the week after before we see him
It came up here first
He is better.
on the flipside, will be a good kick up the backside to the midfielders that are here that they need to buck up their ideas and put a proper performance in on sunday as there is genuine competition for their places coming.
They'll probably announce it around 6-7pm. Seems like Ugarte's our final signing so they perhaps want to make it interesting day delaying his announcement.
Yeah seems Sancho out is our deadline day
Neither McTominay nor Mount have featured in the pivot this season. However, Ten Hag had Eriksen and Collyer on the bench against Brighton but chose not to bring them on, despite Casemiro and Mainoo clearly showing signs of fatigue.
I wasn't aware.
A few minutes at Old Trafgord at the end of us battering Scousers 4-0 would have been nice.
Sorry bit of a crap joke because I said yesterday that they don’t register him on time to play versus Liverpool.
Why would they? He’s had little football
Seasons over, 3 games in and we couldn't register a player in time!
Shut up you miserable sod!
Not quite the same type of player. He's more like Kante.
sterling’s agent begging.
He would get all of 1/2 training sessions by Southampton, I said a few days ago I don't expect him to feature until Palace. Maybe 10-15mins Soton if done and dusted.
@antohan would it be fair to say that Ugarte is a hard cheese style of player?
Can't remember who that was. Tardelli?
(sorry folks, draft in-joke about cutting through a midfield like a knife through butter until diarm's "hard cheese" midfielder popped up, quite apt to the state of our midfield)
Are we waiting for the stock market to open to announce this or for Napoli to announce Scott first?
Or Mount's injury might make us interested for another roaming midfielder - I don't think we have anyone ready to bring up to cover from Academy atm.
International clearance? Work permit?
Precisely, not sure why people couldn't see that.
Haven’t we announced players saying it’s pending work permit?
Missed it? Never went for it. Still, it's obviously better to put a negative spin on it rather than 'didn't bother about it as there was no need'.
I'd say we simply play him when he's ready to be played. Jumping the gun and potentially getting him injured does nothing good for us. If he's ready next week, great. If it's in 3 weeks, so be it. We already have one of our new signings injured and out for months. See what the fitness coaches and medical team say.
Would you rather he misses 1 maybe 2 games now or get injured and miss 4-6 weeks?
How long does it take to whack out a communicado official? Jesus
Yeah I fecking wonder why. Going for Mount instead of getting in a proper DM much earlier. He sounds really enthusiastic about the transfer, doesn’t he?
I'm starting to think that we won't announce it. He'll just turn up one day for a kick about with the rest of the lads. 'Oh so we did sign him then? Cool'. Like the time Scholes returned.
Don’t you think Ugarte looks a bit like the German tank commander from Kelly’s Heroes?
