Ugarte has a "get me off this pitch" look on his face in the background of that. Wants none of it.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I heard Ugarte was good before he came to England.

He’s an absolute machine - what a player! 

[Sean]

Reminds me of a good old fashioned 90s centre mid. Hard as nails, full of running, good at both ends of the pitch. And can put his laces through the ball.

Is he on the Isak level?

 

In terms of ability for their own position?

His run at the end whilst mightly impressive, I'd rather he didn't at 4:1 up with minutes remaining and 2 more games in quick succession to follow. Would rather he saved his legs as much as possible

If we base it on this season alone then yes, hell yeah.

Rumour has it that he was pretty beloved at Milan to. A tough start with us, but that was probably because of certain reasons.

[Hovagod]

Not sure he’s quite where Isak is personally. I love him deeply but with Isak we need to accept (wrong word- realise?) that we have chanced into a player that will go down in history as one of the best.

[LionOfGosforth]

Think we're already at the point where it's impossible to imagine our midfield without him. He brings the engine and athleticism but adds technical ability, game intelligence and an almost English-like drive and passion that elevates the midfield to another level. Seems to have the best qualities of all the great English midfielders down the years allied to Italian traits you don't often see.

 

Like an Italian Robson. Gets up and down the pitch, tackles, give and go's, gees up the crowds. Oh and he scores goals too. Fuck me, what do we have here

Tindall ain’t taking the hit on that one

[AyeDubbleYoo]

From a gambling perspective we knew he was a top player. 

[andycap]

Yet the  Milan folk were saying he's just okay not as good as pirlo or gattuso couldn't play the number 6 role. 😂 We Overpayed yada tada yada. 

[Vinny Green Balls]

Many Milan fans were absolutely gutted. One of my buddies in Milan still complains about it.

Yeah but they said he was limited could only play in a two. I think he's developed massively from his time at Milan.

Nah, these are the moments that you love to see, that set him apart. He just had a bit excess energy to burn, and time was running out 😉

How many people are you talking about? My buddy and his friends thought he was a Gattuso but with significantly more techincal ability, but also thought that he could adapt anywhere in the center of midfield. Their forums had a significant number of people who thought they were losing a gem.  Sounds like you are generalizing a bit. It reminds me a bit of Draymond Green claiming that everyone doubted the Warriors in 2019, after they just won 3 of 4 championships.

Been going since 85. For me, he's the best pound for pound Midfielder I'm seen play for us. Elite in every way, technically, physically and mentally, and he's 24!?
