This can't be true, Ole said no signings in January
Moises Caicedo | Signs for Brighton
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

What “new contracting rules of the Premier league” are they talking about?
Considering he's played for his country a couple of times, you'd have to imagine he's ahead of someone like Pellestri in his development?
Cheers, this makes sense.
Not necessarily. The Uruguayan national team is considerably stronger than Ecuador's.
He was right. We’ve done it in December.
Yeah I forgot the UK immigration system was always out of sync with the EU.
Has ITK9 from Muppetiers claimed credit for this yet? I think he might be awaiting verification from ITK4.
Perhaps... Though Ecuador did beat Uruguay 4-2 in October... And Caicedo scored!
I can't wait for that all that horseshite to start up again.Just seen somebody on twitter dub him the "Cartel Kante"
He’s rated higher than Pellistri in SA football
Something to do with this, I assume:

Ahhh Diego. Loved that guy. After such a slow start, I do think he got a run of games when Ruud was out. He managed something like 7 in 10...could be wrong. It’s a long time since them days. Ruud recovered and walked straight back in, which you can’t really argue with cos he was next level. Shame Forlan didn’t stick around for another season at least to see what else he could achieve with us. Was great to see him succeed in Spain
And Caicedo's Ecuador beat that Uruguay team.
He said there will be transfers the next video after
Right now I'd take anybody who can cover the ground and tackle over playing Matic under any circumstances. Harsh because I like Matic but his legs are gone.
If this kid can put a real shift in and break up opposition play then I'd let him have some cup games for sure. It's not like we've never had a 19 year old in our squad.
He's more than held his own against a midfield of Bentacur and Valverde and some even say he won the battle against them. And both Valverde and Bentacur are established players in major European leagues.
Thanks a lot.
Just to clarify - clubs won’t be able to purchase U18 players from EU or from any foreign country at all?

Really impressive stats. Was it a friendly?
As an avid follower of SA football I can confirm this is true
It was a World Cup qualifier..
He is not tall, right? But even it’s true, I don’t worry. Pool has no tall midfielders, aerial challenge is not a problem for them. Athletic and tough guys can form a real good system in the midfield.
let’s get him!
let’s get him!
Definitely impressive then. Love these type of signings.
1.78 or around 5’10. Not small either and he has a impressive leap in him
At this age people can still continue to grow...
I think he’s fine the height he is.
What’s with the obsession with tall players
Ole is the best DoF we could have hoped for.
Yeah, Kante seems to do just fine.
At reported transfer fee, shall be a very good deal actually, because reinforcements in his position are long needed. He will be competing with Fred, most likely, based on how he plays
No such thing in South America!
Looks very athletic and springy, which is probably more important than raw height anyway.
Yeah I’ve said multiple times our best chance of getting back to the top under the Glazers is this type of strategy. Find the best youngsters around the world and pay an “expensive” fee of 10m instead of hoping we close a superstar for 100m to save the squad.
It’s only a problem if we play a trio of Caicedo, Fred and Bruno together. In other cases, we always have some tall midfielders in Matic, Pogba, McTominay, and even VDB is not too small.
As you say, most players are getting smaller on average now anyway. To deal with the pressing game you want to be more agile and able to turn sharper.
If we come against a team of giants we've got the likes of Mctominay to deal with it.
Football is being played a lot more on the floor now anyway.
I know we're still scarred but that's the beauty of muppetry. Manucho, completely forgot about him, red legend.
What kind of midfielder is he?
Apparently, an energetic DM with above average defensive prowess and decent passing
