So far IMO, he has looked better than Caicedo by some margin.

I don't agree. Caicedo's been pretty solid. Ugo's been good but you can tell he is very young and inexperienced. He's been a bit casual in some situations which have created problems for the side. He should have been sent off last night. 

But I like what he's done so far. Not on Caicedo's level however.

He’s looking like he will definitely develop well

Love to see an imposing physical presence in midfield, something we've missed for nearly a decade since Nemanja Matic went off the boil. Hard to see what Lavia would bring ahead of him, to be honest.

Technically superior , reads game better and just as physical

Tall dm just solve many problem  😍😍

 

Very happy with him so far! If all our midfield is fit I can't see him starting mainly because of his age and also the fee we got him for.. However as a sub I think hes a massive upgrade on what we used to have previously. Still very young and raw as well being 19, some good development in the next few years can see him become a key player.

 

So as I was saying I think Ugochukwu should be starting every game.

Bit depressing that he's too young to have seen Patrick Vieira though...

Keeping himself open for a Strasbourg loan if it tails off with us?

I like him actually. I think he could be a really important member of the squad over time

He makes more sense than Lavia. 

He’s build for this league and will develop as he learns it more.

Apparently being "re-called back" from the Olympics squad as maresca wants to loan him out.

I don't think he's left yet but that's the terminology used in the rumour.

Beeb.

Like all young players the kid needs game time and plenty of it. Should have bought him and loaned him back immediately.

Bundesliga clubs I heard were interested 

Shame as I thought he was fairly good for a 19 year old. I thought either him or Santos would stay for rotation but guess not. 

Never saw anything from any of his sub appearances to understand why we bought him. I'm sure he'll be sold in a year or 2.

Fully agree. Never stood out as doing anything well, and certainly didn't look like a future first teamer. 

Probably being harsh because he is still young but I definitely thought he was miles away from this level whenever he played. A loan is the right idea, I think we massively overpaid for him though.

Of the 20+ players we've signed the only one I can think we'd sell for a profit is Palmer.

Absolute and utter shambles.

There's still time for certain players to improve their game and get better. 

I think many are a lost cause though.

I do wonder if other teams' fans hate their squads as much as you lot hate ours, absolutely insane.

We would be lucky to get £3.50 for him. Did you see how bad he was?

Bit of an odd comment. I'm stating I don't think we'll be able to sell these players for more than we bought them - nothing to do with hating anyone. You're seeing things that aren't there.
