How do we ever control games without that player who is able to dictate things from deep though
Manuel Ugarte

No. He and Ronaldo parted ways because Mendez disagreed with the interview and advised him against it. Ronaldo dumped him after that, plus there were other disagreements too supposedly.
Who are these top level dictators?
In a couple of weeks' time, we will wake up one day to the announcement that we have signed FDJ. There will be no 1000 page thread, in fact the thread won't even get bumped from today till the announcement.
You accept that we don't get from A to Z without going through the other steps essentially. We'll be a counter pressing side but lacking some control at times, but good control in many games all the same. There's no point in living with a big weakness if we can improve on it even if it's not the perfect player, because we don't know when that perfect player will be available.
How are Chelsea on the FFP front? No Europe and a bloated squad where 600m has been spent already must mean tightening of belt and a zero net spend, no?
Those long contracts work in their favour that's why uefa changed from this summer going forward.
What could work temporarily is if they sell Gallagher (25m), Loftus Cheek (10m), Mount (40m) and Hudson Odoi (10m?) - Total 85m. Since they're all home grown, they'd get away showing the entire sale as profit & can spend another 300m on players (60m player cost amortization). It'll come to bite them next year though.
Reports in Portugal saying Chelsea and PSG are the clear favorites to sign him. I would love to see him in England.
The best compliment I can give him is that we did not feel the loss of Palhinha. I will now compare them both a little bit.
Although I believe Palhinha is the better defender and ball winning player (as shown by his statistics in England this season leading the league) I found it pretty interesting that Ugarte has registered more ball recoveries and completed tackles then palhinha when comparing both of their times at Sporting. He is very good at reading the play and is very aggressive at an attacking the ball which makes a ball handler very nervous. Very brave player who does not shy away from a gritty 50/50 ball.
Although Palhinha is a better passer of the ball Ugarte is clearly better with the ball in his feet and dribbling out of tight spaces. He can bring the ball up better and is more of a defensive B2B where as Palhinha is a pure CDM.
Ugarte is still very young but I would like to see him improve his shooting capabilities more and when compared to Palhinha he is not as much of a threat off of set pieces.
Similarly to Palhinha though he almost plays for 2 in midfield because it feels as though he is everywhere and has a very high workrate. I don’t think he would have any problem with the pace of the EPL and he also showed this at the emirates vs Arsenal when he completed bossed that midfield.
For 45-60M I think he is a great addition to any of the two clubs interested.

They have to sell. They’ll net even this transfer window.
Thanks for the write up.
Do you think he could work well with Enzo assuming Poch plays his favoured 4231? Would it not be a problem that neither are natural holders?
I honestly don’t know if I am a fan of it.
I feel like a player like Declan Rice would actually be a better fit next to enzo.
Although enzo is a better attacking player then Ugarte I feel both are similar box to box like players but I could be wrong.
If you have both of them your going to need a cam that can link up play between the middle of the pitch and the attacking third.
That's fair.
I actually think Rice is pretty much a box-to-box player aswell having watched him quite a lot. Unfortunately natural holders like Palhinha, Rodri etc are very rare nowadays at the top level. And we sold our only holder in Jorginho.
Guess we just have to wait and see how it plays out.
If Chelsea are after him, he’s defo going to flop.
Arsenal and Liverpool could dictate games just fine without one. I wouldn't even consider Rodri someone who dictates games like that.

I like it! How reliable is Zach?
I would like to believe that, but it's s terrible source
I like this. Go and get him.
It's attributed to A Bola so we need to find out whether they are credible or not . It seems they aren't .
Zach is just reporting what A Bola have put on their backpage today.
A Bola are tier 4.
Silly season is well and truly under way.
Ah thanks.
Yeah it is. I´ve been around for far too long to reach for the zipper after one stupid tweet.
How many players do they need?!
Not sure why anyone would currently want to go to Chelsea when they have a multitude of other options.
I feel he's going to have a similar effect as Caicedo had. We really shouldn't be missing out on him, unless we're actually going for Caicedo.
Mount and Gallagher will probably go for more than that if they're sold, though I still hold out hope that Mount and Chelsea can work out their differences.
FM legend. Been following him since Familicao got him from Fenix.

Praying these dodgy rumours have at least an inch of truth to it.

I find it staggering that Chelsea are in any position to sign even more players before bringing any money in. It's proof that FFP is a waste of time even if they can do it because they will bring money in at a later date. They should be made to sell before buying not the other way around

Fake news?
If Man Utd is really interested, they will have to hurry up. if we make a good offer, there's a good chance Ugarte will prefer us.
He wants the premier league, but Chelsea has offered half the salary of PSG. And it won't be in european competitions next season. The bloated squad doesn't make it any more attractive. So now's the chance to grab him.

Would love to know what these cutting edge financial arguments are
Gonna miss out on both by the looks of it most likely to Premier League rivals as well
Sounds like fun and games in the final stages of negotiations with Chelsea. To be fair, if I knew that Boehly was on the other side of the negotiations, I'd fancy my chances of adding a couple of zeros to the asking price/contract, too.
He'll stay at Sporting?
I was in Man Utd fan modeHe'll stay at Sporting?
I don't deny that it would be sweet for me to keep rooting for him in a team I root for.
Others might have a different view, but Pol Pot is certainly a top level dictator.
Probably top top level actually
