An absolute manbeast, and super savvy, definitely top 3.
Not a patch on Alex SongHe's one of the best at holding the Champions League trophy in his hands. All that matters to me.
And instead of one of those little spare tyres, you’ve replaced one of the burst balloons with a Sports Direct condom.does it really matter? i mean it’s a position that we’ve never even felt was worth purchasing a player for. it’s like saying “is my ford fiesta with balloons for wheels is the best of its kind ever?”
Simultaneous equations.One level below Rijkaard and Matthaus.
One level above Makelele and Dunga.
Same tier as Busquets.
you must have bought the copy of the ‘max power’ magazine it was in. but everyone is wondering what did i do with the other 7 sports direct condoms that were in the box? have they been used elsewhere, so to speak?And instead of one of those little spare three, you’ve replaced one of the burst balloons with a Sports Direct condom.
Sadly, like the Sports Direct mugs, they were just too big.you must have bought the copy of the ‘max power’ magazine it was in. but everyone is wondering what did i do with the other 7 sports direct condoms that were in the box? have they been used elsewhere, so to speak?

ahaha i actually don't think he is, but i seen a tweet saying he was, and thought it was worthy of a discussion, He's arguably the most important piece in a hugely successful side, without him Madrid don't win anything near as much as they have.Since everyone has categorically voted no, I'm interested as to why the OP voted yes? @AdNani
I think a lot of Real Madrid players seem to be thrown around as best evers now, especially on Twitter, just because over their Champions Leagues.ahaha i actually don't think he is, but i seen a tweet saying he was, and thought it was worthy of a discussion, He's arguably the most important piece in a hugely successful side, without him Madrid don't win anything near as much as they have.
I think he's got a case for being the best Pure Destroyer, but as has been mentioned there's more complete players who have played in the position.
Was going to refer Matthaus too. One of the most complete player I've seen, could play superbly either as one of the defenders in a 3 at the back formation and was an amazing energetic anchor midfielder with the ability to make incisive passes and score some beauties.Matthaus is GOAT DM, so no. But Casemiro is definitely a great DM given the achievements. But its where to place him amongst the likes of Busquets, Makelele, Dunga, Xabi Alonso, Kante, etc.
Because he never played in EnglandIts not called "the casemeiro role". I wonder why.
Kante? Really?Matthaus is GOAT DM, so no. But Casemiro is definitely a great DM given the achievements. But its where to place him amongst the likes of Busquets, Makelele, Dunga, Xabi Alonso, Kante, etc.
Why not? Anchor for 2 title-winning teams, a CL-winning team, a World cup winning team, a F.A.Cup winning team, a Europa league winning team and essentially a one-man midfield in his prime. He absolutely is up there with the greats.Kante? Really?
What is the obsession with questioning people's obsessions?What is this obsession with trying to state that the current is the best ever?
No one calls it the makelele role anymore either. And if anything it should be used as a perjorative - The decision to have a water carrier in midfield for whom it is acceptable to stick to simple five yard passes to the nearest team mate.Its not called "the casemeiro role". I wonder why.
The thread title is an overreaction so the timing will never be right but Casemiro had very good performances vs Liverpool and Frankfurt so that probably inspired some to hail him of late (again).Strange timing for the thread given he's been fairly average for the past year or so. And no, he's not been as good as Busquets. Let alone the best of all time.
This. Instant impact at Chelsea when he left and Real were a circus after.Makelele?
I’m sorry, but Matthäus playing as a B2B “on rare occasions” has to be one of the worst cases of rewriting history ever. He’s literally the greatest B2B of all-time who at his peak scored 15-20 goals per season and won Ballon d’Or in that exact role after leading West Germany to World Cup win.No … both were DMs who also played CB for a reasonable part of their careers. Matthaus did on rare occasions play B2B.
Lets look at a neutral source: https://www.transfermarkt.us/lothar-matthaus/profil/spieler/1527I’m sorry, but Matthäus playing as a B2B “on rare occasions” has to be one of the worst cases of rewriting history ever.
Rijkaard partnered Ancelotti in CM and Ancelotti was definitely an attack-minded B2B midfielder. I don't think Rijkaard has ever played as B2B at Milan.Rijkaard is a bit of a tougher one since he did play both as an expansive B2B (for both Ajax & Milan) and as a DM (as well as a CB on occasion) at his peak. Plus his late stint at van Gaal’s Ajax as a holding midfielder was pretty great.
Which 10 names?Not by a long shot. Casemiro is a good DM, but over history surely there are 20 better DMs at least.
Casemiro is one of the most successfull ones obviously. That's however more down to players like Ramos, Marcelo, Modric, Kroos, Benzema and CR7. They were the irreplaceble ones in those teams. Casemiro is a solid DM, but there could have been 10 other DMs in that team and they'd have won those prices.
