Dubious links to ugarte. Is there any chance we get involved eds? Or is he wolves bound. Think he's a wonderful player as Fab replacement.

{Ed002's Note - Manuel Ugarte (DM) Interest of Leeds went when Sporting refused to negotiate a reduction in his buy out clause and now want to give him a new contract and increase it. Wolves are still keen with Spurs and PSG also having shown an interest but none will meet his €60M buy out clause and Spurs whilst may have moved on to other targets, they could yet make a take it or leave it offer. Arsenal, Barcelona and Newcastle offer wildcard options and are keen.}

Would be a great Fabinho replacement. Mascherano vibes. Duel winning and starting off attack stats are off the scale.

Having watched the semi final Brighton v man utd, i was not very impressed with Mac Allister (fellow Uruguyan Ugarte miles better) .

Would prefer Kheprem Thuram and Ugarte instead of Mac Allister and Caicedo.

That Gravenberch does not even look good on You Tube!

I watched the semi final too and watched the Argentinian MacAllister

I assume people may not have picked up the movement and interchange between him and Caicedo that let them play out through the middle third almost at will

Was impressive.

Hello Thiago Shimmy,

Thanks for Mac Allister's nationality, from ye post they have a good partnership the two of them in a midfield tandem, i would be very surprised if we have the funds for one never mind two as the fees mentioned are ridiculous for are purse strings i would envisage.

Out of the two would prefer Caicedo all day long who looks more like a midfield workhorse which what JK has always demanded with his pressing midfielders, Mac Allister (more like Terry Mcdermott to me) looks like a "linkman" more than a "water carrier".

Ugarte (Uruguayan work horse) would be my choice over Mac Allister, football players are like horses and not every punter picks the same horse (or player! that's why the forum is a banter site, and therefore its postings are not cast in stone, someone will also post a different point of view to us, which is healthy and debatable also? )
