They finally found their replacement for Marek Hamsik.

yeah right an Italian team is never paying up
They can feck off with their loan , I’d prefer if he was kept as a squad player
Will that matter if we end up selling him for less though? Or worse if we cant sell him?
What Di Marzio wrote about McTominay to Napoli 1 hour ago:
In London Manna (Napoli SD) memorized Manchester United's demands for McTominay and the Scottish midfielder's willingness.
For the deal to succeed, however, € 30 million are needed, which would come from the sale of Osimhen (unless Conte considers his purchase a priority).
Patience is needed to see how Osimhen situation develops first

With how many clubs are reportedly interested in him (Turkish clubs, Fulham, Napoli) you'd think he'll be gone by the end of the window. Hopefully that will be the case as we probably need money to get Ugarte.
Either get a decent fee for him and use that money to get someone like Ugarte or just keep him as a squad player. He is a very useful player to have in the squad. They can sod off with their loan offers.
Even if we sell Mctominay, it seems to be very clear we do not value Ugarte at the price they are requesting. So would we just change the terms of the deal?
Like when we rejected £30m for him last summer?
Antonio Conte, can you do something for me?
Call Fulham back.
Now there’s a forgotten name! There was a poster on here who was a massive fan and always wanted us to sign him every summer
I forgot which poster it was.
Napoli can do one. Asking for billions for their players, but expecting handouts from others. None of that loan rubbish.
What did West Ham offer for him last summer?
Jeez I thought it was, why on earth didn't we take it because won't get those offers again
We rejected the McTominay offer. Knew it was a mistake. Maguite wanted a huge pay off so that never went anywhere.
Yeah it's hard to fault the Maguire one. His pay off would've left us negative on the deal, and no cash to replace him with.

Read that earlier, that they could be waiting until Osimhen is confirmed as leaving then using that money for McT. Makes sense, then gets us the £25 million for him that United have been asking for.
Arent West Ham looking for a midfielder?
And I dont believe Contes priority, that seems a little off somehow.

Chelsea getting Osimhen would be rather bad for us, so I'd rather this not happen.
Money could come in too late to be able to use it. Oshimen is not close to leaving.
Sums up the competence of the last regime. Fecking outrageous that we rejected that.
Reports suggest we’ve had personal terms agreed with Ugarte for weeks so a deal should be pretty straightforward to do if we can get the cash from McTominay’s sale.
We relied on them both last season to dig us out of holes. So it was actually a good thing.
I think we want Ugarte regardless of Scott. If he leaves we might want another player.
Hopefully one of Rabiot/Berge too, pretty certain Fofana is close to joining AC Milan
My stupid football app just gave me a "Confirmed Transfer - McTominay to Napoli" notification, and I got all excited

Mct / Eriksen out
Ugarte / Berge in
I suspect he'll tear up Serie A with a coach that believes in him. He's not the right fit for our team at the moment but he has something to offer in the right setup.
I'd be happy with that.
My mates dad who went to watch the open training for Naples came back and was absolutely shocked that they basically did zero work with the ball. His wing-backs are expected to, after coming off for 45 mins in their pre-season games, to go and do extra running. I think Conte would absolutely love a box crasher like McTominay the way he is planning to play. He's going to leave Lobotka and hopefully Gilmour at the back, and throw everyone into the box. I can very much see it happening to be honest and so does my Napoli supporting mate.
Conte you beauty
Not really buying the Napoli links thus far, certainly doubt they will buy him outright.
From the moor to Vesuvio, continental McTominay domination.
Can we setup a GoFundMe to get this over the line and Ugarte in.
Conte loves a work horse. An honest player. His whole MO is getting the most out of a eclectic group of players he has cobbled together, who then don't work once he's left.
I could see why he wants McTominay. Could see him work in Italy similar to Loftus Cheek, just more in the goals side.
