Camara is probably the better of the two, issue is he’d go to Afcon so not really a suitable stand in for Baleba
Lucien Agoume
- Thread starter Berbaclass
- Start date
I'd rather see us spend 25m on Martinez and get a good keeper for the next 3 seasons (maybe more).
I'm tired of maybe midfielders and patched up jobs. Going big on a Baleba next season is fine by me

Never have I wanted a player as much as I do Lucien.
We spent £42m on Ugarte
@giorno what’s this kid saying?
i have no idea what you're asking. Or why me
Yes please. Send Antony to them while we are at it.
Looks a decent Casemiro successor in terms of playstyle
From looking at the stats, he looks like a similar profile to Casemiro but maybe a bit better at ball carrying. If it's true that he isn't the most mobile, I'd rather avoid and target a player who can do that to a good standard, and ideally a player who also scores well on defensive and passing metrics.
Baleba's the gold standard for that, but I don't think we can afford to neglect those needs entirely on the basis we might go back in for him next summer. We need those qualities in the team now.

Your league! Is he any good!? Thoughts!?
Thing is so called Regista role what Bruno plays can be with Half Back or Deep Lying Playmaker - it doesn't have to be pure destroyer like Casemiro/Ugarte or Baleba would have been. A DM in Carrick or Busquets mould would also work. Just their position and game awareness has be absolute elite level.
I don't know if he would fit either roles that well, yet.

He was my choice for Case replacement - is raw but has the broad skillet, decent on the ball, good passer, a languid but deceptively fast dribbling style but I think his main strength is reading the game defensively - he's a real pain in the arse for teams to get around or run past and picks up a lot of interceptions and turnovers or at least slows stuff down.
We did and we were linked with him prior to his move to Inter.
We need Lucifer to deal with the crosses
I have been keeping tabs on this guy for at least an hour and I think we should go all in.
As he’s been recorded as running at 36.24km/h, I’d suggest you correct the post you viewed,
Don't really want to be risking more potentially sub-standard players. It's only last year we signed Ugarte and now he's considered to be crap. Our recruitment is just shocking bad.
What do I do?
Who do you consider to not be a risk?
Trust our new football people. So far they are excellent. Dorgu, Mbeumo, Cunha and hopefully Sesko are all hit!
The fact he wasn't even referenced in Dealsheet says to me there's no legs to this one, all is coming from only one Seville source which is very telling.
Isn't that mobile as in Casemiro immobile? If he is not mobile, does he have good positioning and a passing range?
Thought so too, hopefully some leges to it then.
So only 1 outlet in Spain no one had ever heard of before is reporting it?
He's fairly slow, no? Going to come up against the same problems Ugarte has.
Watched him for a season at Stade Brestois when I was a season ticket holder over there. He was quite young then and on loan from Inter. He established himself quick quickly in the team then and always struck me as a calming presence on the ball, and was neat & tidy while doing the defensive stuff. He didn't really contribute anything directly to attack though.
Don't recall him looking slow either, but I don't recs specifically.

Has anyone ACTUALLY watched him and can confirm he’s slow instead of going off 1 guys opinion who probably thinks Mbappe is slow.
Heaven looks alright as well.
Ugarte?
He is definitely not slow. But he isnt a All action athletic midfielder either like we seemingly want.
Progressive is a subset of forward passes. It's forward passed over 15 metres or so. Can't remember.
I believe Ugarte was under old regime
All I can see on reddit is people taking pot shots at him
He wasn’t.
1/12 bad deals is very impressive.
Hopefully Chido too
At least during the period of time the full Ineos team was not on board long enough yet?
So far there is zero evidence they are excellent. De Ligt, Zirkzee, Dorgu all have question marks on them (though definitely better than some previous windows) and Ugarte is seen as terrible. Mbuemo, Cunha and Sesko have played 1 game!
Could we buy Agoume and loan them Ugarte?
