Ugarte

I’ve been quite negative about our signings (De Ligt and Zirkzee) but this is a guy I really am impressed by. Living here I get to see many South American games due to the time difference and hence I’ve watched a decent amount of Uruguay games as wanted to see how Ugarte has gotten on as well as watching Pellistri (who also has been very good for them).

He’s the real deal imo and whilst I think he’s going to be outnumbered in midfield due to how we sometimes set up - which is going to hinder him - he’s just what we’ve been looking for in there for quite some time. His style of play means I can see him getting a couple of red cards per season but his good qualities will hopefully even that out.

“as well as watching Pellistri (who also has been very good for them).”

Then I’d expect our £50m CM to look good.

There is unbelievable pressure on Ugarte to perform - it's like he is the mighty solution to all our problems.

I don't doubt he is a good player, but for him to work out, it will take a change in the team as a whole, in terms of how we set up, approach games etc. He can be part of that, maybe even inspire it, but it's up to ETH to implement what he wants, and really get the players buying into that.

It's the same for all our signings really - they will all struggle a bit unless they are singing from the same hymn sheet and having a clear vision of what is required from them.

But with players like him, Mainoo, Bruno, Mount, even Cas and Eriksen who don't have the legs but still the class as impact subs, they are quality players and there are no excuses for us not to perform this season

He's played 169+ mns this international break. Surely he's ready to come straight in.

We've finally signed a replacement for Keane 20 years later.

Ugarte be kidding if you think this guy's the real deal.to

I honestly have no idea how good he is. I just wanted to seize the opportunity to put Ugarte be kidding in a sentence.

Now tell me I'm the millionth person to do it and I can peacefully go and prepare lunch.
