When Palhinha went to Fulham, the Sporting lot were all saying Ugarte was the real talent from their midfield.

Facebook mums don't tend to rate him as he doesn't have any Prem experience.

Bellingham, Camavinga, Tchouameni. Alright that.
Getting him on the cheap after he has enough bananas thrown at him
10+ years of that too.
Bit of an ego dent for English football, that (or just an ego boost for the Spanish tax break system).
Aston Villa nabbing Barcelona’s sporting director or whatever he is will even it out
Liverpool fans thinking they ever have a chance of signing players like Mbappe and Bellingham is always funny.
How fucking deranged are footballers.
I'm a twit
Hasn't Sane done something similar?
Ironic.
Sounds like Milner is off to Brighton too. I can't really understand it, unless Liverpool just haven't offered him a deal. I wouldnt say he's going to get any more playing time there than he would for us.
I was fully expecting him to follow Leeds into the Championship, but the return of Big Sam may scupper that.
That's now Milner, Oxlade, Keita and if you can count him Arthur on the way out. Granted that's not a lot of first team material but those are likely some good wages savings. Thiago is also apparently injured and out for "months" again so we should chuck him in the pile too.
I can understand it. He's in the twilight of his career and has nothing left to do at Liverpool. He can probably feel like a part of something at Brighton (European foortball included) and then sign off on a long and boring career.
What a useless cunt Thiago is.
Just send him back to Bayern and they can send Sadio back in return.
Wouldn't want to be Salah, now he's started punching team mates who annoy him.
I think there's probably a bit of a leap between lamping Salah and some jumped up nobody like Leroy Sane or Serge Gnabry or whoever it was.
Unfortunately Liverpool have gone down the Bayern route and overstocked massively in that sort of position so it's never going to happen.
Seems like Liverpool will be getting Alexis Mac Allister. If that could be done for around the £60m mark I think that'd be alright. A goalscoring midfielder is badly needed.
Square peg in a round hole.
Difficult to get excited about him, stats aren't amazing and physically he's mediocre in every respect. The only saving grace is he may have the required creativity and ability to maintain possession and he doesn't have the favela attitude of laziness and tantrums.
I wouldn't say he's physically mediocre, unless your yardstick is some sort of massive African unit, which it probably is. He covers an enormous amount of ground in a game, reads the game well, is good in possession and has a goal in him. A decent all-rounder. Dangerous business buying off Brighton though. Not that there's much store to be put in transfer fees anymore but I don't know if he's really a £60m+ player.
He's scored near 1 in 3 this season for Brighton in a not incomparable style of football too.
Whereas Henderson gets 1 every 12 or so games, Fabinho 1 in 18 and Thiago 1 in 33.
He's obviously a don but worth pointing out that half of those were penalties.
Still miles better than the current offerings.
I do wonder with this whole Trent situation is it a case of trying this till the end of the season and if it works he becomes the right hand sided midfielder(like Henderson but with technical ability) then you go out and buy one/two midfielders this summer and a right back who would be cheaper than a top quality midfielder. Also if you pick a more defensively stable right back you take away that issue with Trent too.
The current version of it surely cannot last. Teams know he's doing it and are doing the easy game plan of playing the ball into that space. Fulham tried it but they only had a 40 year old Willian. When they got Solomon on they probably should have nicked a draw.
Sadly I think the way will be to get 3 midfielders in and perhaps a CB(noises Matip may leave now Konate is first choice).
"Trent" is easily the most boring conversation in football.
He's got the discipline of a favela and the technique of a gammon.
He's basically David Beckham, isn't he? Except that position doesn't exist anymore.
I believe you made a joke once at the expense of Beckham's critics' that future grandads would say "his only skill was putting the ball exactly where he wanted to." Would you say that of Alexander-Arnold? He has skills in athleticism and improvisation that Beckham didn't have but Beckham was so good at his one thing he basically didn't need to care that the opposition knew it was coming.
Beckham also had Gary Neville sitting behind him to cover him, rather than a wide open space and half a Konate
What'll happen with James Ward-Prowse when Southampton go down?
I'm a twit
He will sign for one of the traditional top 6 teams and sit on the bench for 100k a week.
I've wanted us to sign him for ages. Probably absolute poison to the analysts which is why he hasn't moved until now. Kicking a ball effectively just doesn't cut it.
Lavia being their prized asset is certainly a damning indictment on the white man's downfall in the game/society.
I don't think I've ever seen a more nailed on Tottenham Hotspur signing.What'll happen with James Ward-Prowse when Southampton go down?
Newcastle looking to sign Neymar would be pretty lol. Not quite as funny as if Mr Jassim gets his way and takes him to United in some sort of Qatari money laundering enterprise, but the sort of thing that would set either of them both back by a good few years.
Prowse isn't anything special, it's why he never plays for England. I reckon he will sign for Newcastle, Spurs I doubt as he was never a good fit with Hojberg. A good solid Premier League player but nothing more.
Lavia and Livramento are the two the top sides should be after. Possibly KWP as well if he can get back to last seasons form.
The rest are complete bobbins, if any premier league club goes for them they're in trouble.
We need a right back so if we can avoid trying to get the corpse of Carlos Alberto or whatever then Livramento should be in the mix.
Malo Gusto (another 20 year old) is joining in the summer alongside Nkunku so a right back won’t be getting signed.
Livramento is a don but I’d be waiting a while before seeing if he’s competent after doing his knee in. He’s barley played football. Cobham love an injury prone right back (see: Reece James and Tariq Lamptey)
I am hoping be ause of the injury he gives us a season in the Championship.Malo Gusto (another 20 year old

I think there's also an outside chance we keep Lavia as well as his buy back clause with City doesn't come into play until next summer.
That Alcaraz would be worth £350m given another 6 months at a stable club like Brighton. Bella-Kotchap, Mara and Edozie could also be worth a pop if they manage to avoid the rape cases (the latter absolutely won't).
Brighton have agreed at £30m deal for Joao Pedro from Watford. Have they still got Sarr as well?
Fuck sake.
Hopefully he gives us the "What approach?" treatment Emery gave us. If we're going to spend daft money, Kane and Messi are right there.
