Loan with obligation would be real great for us with McTom maybe staying now
As usual, INEOS has a plan. This isn’t Woodward, Arnold’s, or Murtough’s scatterbrained and idiotic planning.
They’ve planned this window out clearly and they’re going to get a deal that fits us done.
If Ugarte signs, what midfield iteration do you think would be best? Casemiro passing has been good so far so a midfield of Ugarte and Casemiro might work.
Dreams cant be buy, but they can be loaned with obligation to buy
Curious to know what the obligation price will be & does this mean mcterminator is staying
Makes sense and I hope PSG accept that offer. Seems very unlikely we will have outgoings that can help us raise money to buy Ugarte now.
This one is going to get done. So stoked. We need this guy
How do you guys think Ugarte would fit in our system? Is he safe enough as a dm.. especially with someone like Martinez behind him?
He’s a good player, but I’m a bit worried on him and Kobbie in a double pivot
Interesting that they don’t mention PSG’s stance on this. They are negotiating so that indicates a willingness to
Just don’t pay over 35-40
Hope im wrong, but feel this lad will struggle with us
So how much money are we going to have next summer with all of these prolonged payment structures? Worried we’re digging a hole for ourselves
Loan with a buy *option* would be an INEOS masterclass. Loan with an obligation of 40m or more is PSG bending us over. They’re desperate to sell and Ugarte’s value drops every single day. He played himself out of the side because he couldn’t be trusted in big games last season and now isn’t even training with the first team at PSG.
Our position is much stronger than theirs. Hope we actually use that leverage for once
Looks like Ugarte’s going to be saying “au revoir” to PSG, “bonjour” to Manchester!
Can we pull a Serie A club transfer and make it an option like we did with Amrabat?
I don’t mind a high loan fee if it gives us the option to walk away if it doesn’t work out.
Loan with option or obligation is good which means we can also sell players next year and get a good balance
someone’s gonna be surplus to requirements between Eriksen and McSauce then if either or both stay then. but knowing us they’ll be starting most the games again 😂
I prefer this honestly. I don’t think Casemiro and mctominay should leave because we need depth unless we get incredible offers. Scott also rarely comes on as a midfielder, his goal usually is to save us from losing 😂😂.
Regardless if Ugarte is somehow shite then we are in a good position and just don’t buy.
Manchester United’s ongoing work and updates are always exciting—let’s see what they come up with!
I hope I’m wrong, but I feel we will struggle in attack with this signing. I hope I’m wrong.
Looks like Ugarte’s got a “United” front!
You Gar Taaaaaaay
Obligation to buy is a bit rough, especially if it’s anything over 35 million.
Option to buy of around 45 million would be fairer, as it gives United a chance to actually assess the player in the system, before deciding to buy.
Please be good
On the fence. It’s a wacky comparison but I feel we just got rid of AWB for a specific reason, and we’re about to buy a player who has the exact same problem. Good at defending, not great at actually building with the ball.
Elite defensively. Monster. But all of his figures tell you that from DM he is the safest, non-progressive passer you can imagine. There’ll basically be a possession based black hole in midfield when he plays, similar to when AWB tried to attack, he basically wasn’t there. And when you’re trying to build from the back, having your no6 being not that good at it is a massive handicap. Plus if we end up sacking Ten Hag and getting a manager in who wants to play possession football, what is happening to him at PSG is gunna happen here and it’s another ~45m wasted.
However, he will be sitting in front of Lisandro Martinez and Mattijs de Ligt who are both good at it. Shaw and Dalot/Mazraoui are good at progression. Onana is good at it. Mainoo is comfortable in possession. Bruno is Bruno. If the plan is to just let those around him shoulder the responsibility and let Ugarte just do the dirty work, I can see it working. But you’re relying on everyone else picking up the slack.
