Zirkzee ain’t the one imo but very happy to be wrong. I’d rather Ollie Watkins but I understand that would be very expensive.

Ugarte I’m very excited about. De ligt could be interesting

Zirkzee is gonna do well. He is a replacement for missing out on gakpo. Someone to better connect up the attack.

Ugarte is a limited player. He reminds me of Minamino at pool. I don't think his recovery pace/sense is that good.

We want to play a high line and so need speed. We are rumoured to be looking at (fast) Ferdi Kadıoğlu which is great.

De Ligt is almost like a slightly bigger, slightly worse passing martinez.

I'd prefer Yoro and a branthwaite type (tall, strong, fast-ish) with better feet (e.g. botman).

De Light has all the personality advantages but we have that with martinez already.

He’s a great team player, yes, but clinical ability is lacking. If we move to a goals by committee model we’ll be fine.

I think Ugarte will be mint for us. We badly need tenacity and bite in the middle of the park.

De ligt is an upgrade on Lindelof and Harry so that’s fine.

Yoro wants to go to Los Negros, I mean Los Blancos so there’s that. I’d have preferred him, too.

Braithwaithe is English hype all over again. Pass

he will be slow tracking back, will not have a physical advantage in the prem and won't contribute much going forwards.

i'd take more of an all rounder instead like guimaraes / carrick-type.
