Manual Ugarte

This rumour is gathering pace. Probably done deal in a few days.

Enzo - Ugarte has a ton of potential. Santos and Casadei to deputise near future.

Caicedo interest completely changes things. Not sure what the plan is if we get him and Ugarte. Could be that Pochettino has evolved from having an attacking mid/CF and wants a more balanced and strong midfield 3. 
 

Who knows. 

 
@benjacobs:

Chelsea are in advanced talks to sign Manuel Ugarte, whose preference is to join #CFC over PSG. As @FabrizioRomano reported, there is optimism a deal can be completed. #CFC still in the race for Moises Caicedo. Should Ugarte arrive that won’t change.

Caicedo is not short of interest. #AFC remains a possibility as well. Player currently open to offers rather than fixed on one club.

One other small point on Ugarte. Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart very much driving this one in a move that significantly pre-dates Mauricio Pochettino. Pochettino will obviously work very closely with the recruitment team, but Ugarte isn't a 'new' Chelsea target.🔵

So much for being Pochettino number 1 target then eh?

 
Ben Jacobs answered that: his response was “Just that it’s a long-standing-recruitment plan, and if they get him it will be the culmination of that not just a new manager and his wish list.”

 
No. We've pulled out of the deal according to multiple sources. I suspect he'd rather go to PSG. And who can blame him.

 
Same here, only heard of him a couple of weeks ago and never seen him play. Can't say he's trash, nor a future superstar.

All I know is my first choice is Caicedo and the fact we've pulled out of Ugarte deal/he's rejected us, opens the door for that. 

 
Since I knew very little about this player, can't be that excited if we sign him, and not feeling we lost anything if he's not coming. I did read we are paying above his release clause, I imagine it's not just $1 more but quite substantial. I thought once release clause is met, it's already out of the hands of the selling club.

 
Smart move by the club to pull out having forced PSG to pay over the odds for an overhyped player they’ll likely sell in a year. We did the same with Raphinha, Tchouameni and Kounde last year. 

Now we can focus on Caicedo. 

Our Board know what they’re doing. 

I hope.

 
I cant feel too dissappointed about this. Caicedo is a far better if more expensive option.
