Manuel Ugarte | Romano - he’s signed | Awaiting Club announcement

Within the context of the sheer speed and violence of the Brazil game, his passing was pretty good. Got it forward a few times to the #10 (obviously important for us with Bruno being by far our best attacking player) and stats check out (20% better than his partner at CM - Valverde - in terms of competing passes). Nothing spectacular, but did look capable.
 
Why would they want to sell him for lets say £10-12 million less and helping to pay his wages at a new club?

His book value is likely between £30 mill and £35 mill. At anything above £35 mill, the club would make a profit. That being said, even if the club made a loss on him and got rid of his wages it would enable the club to spend quite alot on a new midfielder. Maybe even two.
 
I struggle to get excited about a midfielder who's strong point isn't their ability to pass the ball accurately and with volume.
 
He has consistently high pass completion.

And, y'know... is a defensive midfielder.
Yeah, really weird post. One of his strong points… is very high passing percentage and a high amount of passes per game…?
 
Love that we’re working on 3 signings at once. We’re actually gonna get some signings cheaper than their clubs wanted.

Thanks to Pep, if your passes per game aren't a similar number to Rodri or peak-Busquets, then you're not an exciting midfielder. Can't wait until he fecks off from the Premier League and his style of play goes with it.

: Big progress for Manchester United in the Manuel Ugarte case! Optimism in the English board to close the case Offer of €45 million + bonus Final decision from Luis Enrique expected...
 
What is happening, am I being suckered into believing a lot of nonsense again or are we really faxing bids all over the continent on Ashworth's pristine quantum computer fax machine.
 
Not sure what tier le 10 are and this guy but wouldn't surprise me.

I think it gets done.

Hopefully

Zirkzee
De Ligt
Ugarte

Fantastic start , great names. All potential starters.

Branthwaite can't see it.

A start? That's £120m+ excluding Branthwaite. We'd be done after that, surely? Zirkzee, De Ligt and Ugarte would effectively replace Martial, Varane and, presumably, Casemiro (with some hefty wage savings a nice ancillary benefit and fees from Greenwood and hopefully Sancho helping to offset the outgoing transfer payments).

With sales and wages offloaded I think we'd have another signing in us

Feel we still need another midfielder.

Tbh we need a lot of new players but I would sort the midfield and CBs first.
 
We're probably signing 5-6 players this summer.

Ugarte, De Ligt, Zirkzee

Then
Another CM
Another CB
LB?

Expecting:
MG, Sancho, Casemiro, Pellistri, Maguire/Lindelof, AWB? Eriksen, Casemiro all to go potentially.
 
Can't help but think Ugarte is the most important signing for us to acquire this summer. Get it done!

The new Ineos guys are pretty good, but even they can't sell Casemiro twice in the same window.

If we want to compete next season that cannot be the end of our dealings. Need at least two to three more. One more CB. One LB. One more CM. It is not out of the realm of possibility that we could still lose Maguire, Mctom, Casemiro, Eriksen, Sancho and Antony this summer.

Yeh we definitely need to get rid of the two Casemiros, be ridiculous to keep both
